Leaders have a keen understanding that if a person waits to prepare for an opportunity after the opportunity arrives, it’s too late.
Preparing for an opportunity s/he desires before the opportunity presents itself is a rare discipline that separates leaders from followers.
As a person prepares for an opportunity, a leader behaviorally demonstrates that s/he is indeed leading himself/herself – the beginning of all authentic leadership.
Doggedly believing in a vision long before anyone else even sees the vision is one of the earmarks of a great leader.
