The Cost of Leading

Whether you are leading your community, your church, your family or your organization-
there is always a cost! Below is the Cost of Leading. I promise at some point you will experience some of these things when you step out and lead other people. Leadership Ain’t Always Sexy!

The Cost of Leading- standing out on your own when no one else “gets it” yet.

The Cost of Leading- not taking shortcuts, because people take time to develop.

The Cost of Leading- inevitably being misunderstood & taken out of context.

The Cost of Leading- being WEiRD when everyone else seems normal.

The Cost of Leading- taking criticism and choosing not to respond, even though it hurts.

The Cost of Leading- hanging in there when nothing good is happening.

The Cost of Leading- giving up comfort in exchange for impact.

Why do we not anticipate “the costs” when it comes to stepping out and leading others? Love to hear your thoughts!
