Leaders Create Leaders, Not Followers
Oct 27, 2024t’s so true that as a personal coach, I’ve come to realize that true leadership is not about gaining followers, but about creating more leaders. This mindset has transformed how I approach coaching and mentoring seven-figure business owners. When you step into a leadership role, whether in your own business or in your community, the focus should always be on empowerment—equipping others with the skills, vision, and confidence to lead in their own right.
For me, there’s no greater satisfaction than seeing the entrepreneurs I work with achieve their goals, deliver on their objectives, and feel deeply fulfilled by their results. It’s not just about the financial success, though that’s certainly part of it—it’s about watching people grow, step into their purpose, and create something impactful that can change not only their lives but the lives of others.
The work I do isn’t about creating a chain of dependents who rely on my advice at every turn. Instead, it’s about guiding them to become independent, self-assured, and capable leaders who can, in turn, develop more leaders. This ripple effect is the most rewarding part of what I do.
As leaders, we have a responsibility to inspire, teach, and elevate others. It’s a concept that’s deeply biblical as well. The Bible says in Proverbs 27:17, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." Leadership is about sharpening others—about pushing them to be better, stronger, and more prepared for the challenges they will face.
And when I see those I’ve worked with break through barriers, achieve new milestones, and confidently lead their own teams and enterprises, it’s a full-circle moment. Their success is my success, but more importantly, their success enables them to help others grow too. That’s what makes leadership such a powerful force.
For all the aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs out there, remember: true leadership is about creating more leaders. It’s about fostering an environment where others can rise, innovate, and make their own mark.
