LeadsatIan
One of the biggest compliments I can give to a leader is that they are a leadsation. That is my word for a sensational leader. I see that in plenty of leaders in Boise State and in the self-advocacy community and I have seen plenty of growth in leadership in these areas. I have seen plenty of people grab the bull by the horns and continue to strengthen their own leadership skills. I am a leadsation or a leadsatIan because of my genuine leadership and because of my strengthened ability to do plenty of training and always learn more. However, a leadsation doesn't just go to training and learn more and then stop there. No, a leadsation genuinely cares for people, is counted on wherever they go, and is a great infectious personality that grows on people and they just want to be around. I have seen plenty of leaders be genuine and have that personality and then let it go to their own head and change them. I have been all over the place in leadership, the media, and training, but I think that people are genuinely drawn to me because I am a genuinely warm, nice guy. People are going to eventually show appreciation for who they care about. There are very few people who don't like me and if they don't, it's because of my sarcasm or my mild arrogance that only shows up every once in a while. When I temper that, I am a genuinely kind person, warm, huggable, and interested in people with much hope to spare. My hope is that all leaders can learn to change into people for the better. I am a leadsatIan and there are plenty of room for leadsations in the community so that people don't always get asked to do the same thing over and over.
