A good leader must have a goal that both the mentor and those they are mentoring agree on and is achievable together.

Before: A good leader knows their followers, casts vision for her team, and serves them by leading them to new and greater things.
After: I still think I would keep it the same!

Before I would have said a good leader has vision, influence and accountability. I would still say that now, but frame it in the framework of the statement: · Leadership takes us where we “ain’t.”

Serving is a key element to leading. It’s the engine that makes all the pieces of the vehicle work together to reach a desired destination.

I would have said that a leader leads by serving, encouraging, motivating, and being present in their lives. After hearing and reading the lecture, I would also say that a leader moves people from where they are to a better place. An effective leader also asks the right questions: Who am I leading? Where am I leading them? How long is this going to take? What will this look like when we get there? Leadership is action and not just words.
