Where do leaders get their leads from ?

The Scottish comedian Billy Connelly once asked

“How does the person that drives the snow plough get to work in the morning ?”

It’s a provocative question that forces you to consider all of the options.
Perhaps they get to work on a skiddoo or by sleigh. Maybe they have husky’s or reindeer to get them there. A secret tunnel perhaps.
I’m sure that you can come up with dozens of other possibilities on this.

I figure that a smart snow plough driver takes the machine home with them. That’s what allows them to clear snow. Being in that prepared state at all times. Having the equipment ready so that they can fulfill their role.

It’s a bit like leadership isn’t it.

Leaders tap into their own place inside that allows them to lead from. They have their own machinery that they carry with them that allows them to lead. It’s not physical machinery. It’s an attitude of this has to be done and I will take on the role of doing it. I will be prepared in every way I can so that this will be done.
