Question: Do you need to be fit to lead?
Short answer: Yes.
In every sense of the word, leaders need to be fit.
- Physically fit to handle the long days, late night calls, and active assignments. Physically fit so they can communicate effectively, stay sharp mentally, and perform at a high level consistently.
- Emotionally fit to handle the pressures of failing, taking responsibility for ones decisions, and consistently standing up for what you believe it right.
- Spiritually fit to exude positivity and enthusiasm. A leader sees the big picture, measuring success on how much work has been created that actually matters, as opposed to how much they’ve earned for themselves or their organization.
Are you fit? Next question, are you ready to lead?
