Creators are a weird lot. They are more like the juvenile delinquent than the prosecuting attorney. Most of us humans are reluctant to create. We want someone else to pave the way and then maybe we’ll add a couple thoughts, timbers, and tidbits. Depends of the creation. Leaders would benefit from remembering this little truth. We humans love to contribute to a cause, a company, or to a really cool creation. We mostly just wait for something that excites us enough to get involved.
Leaders create.
Leaders create and create some more. Leaders create and engage the team to contribute. Some contribute a ton. Some contribute a tidbit. The cool systems make it easy to do either.
You cannot be a leader without creating something. You can be an effective operator without creating. You can be a great manager without creating. You can be a good teammate without creating. You can be a valuable contributor without creating. Leaders create. And, the best of the best make others feel more, not less with whatever tidbit they contribute to the cause. And, the best of the best turn up the quiet ones. And, these quiet ones often contribute a ton. Leaders create and collect the best contributions both large and small from all around.
How ’bout you?
BUILT TO LEAD 
Every one of us has the ability to create, if only in our minds. It’s the leaders that take that creation to reality.
