What does it take to be a leader?

Chick-fil-A Leadercast is going on today and sadly I am not there. Maybe next year!

For those of you who don’t know what the Chick-fil-A Leadercast is, its a conference where some of the greatest leaders gather to give advice and presentations on how to be effective leaders.

Some of the speakers were John Maxwell, Jim Collins, Chip Heath, Jim Goodnight, and many more!

By following the progress of the Leadercast through blogs and posts about it, it has gotten me thinking about a question.

What does it really take to be a successful leader?

I would love to hear some of your thoughts. We are all leaders to one degree or another and I think for us to be successful in life we need to hone in on our leadership skills.

What do you think?
