We are all struggling to be better leaders. We worry about whether we are smart enough, whether we are wise enough; can we do the right thing, do people respect us? The empowering news is that all these fears are natural, all leaders have had to overcome these and other fears, and we can learn from them. History provides us with many role models. Our experiences of being inadequate leaders are not new and they are not unique to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout history, leaders, and leaders-in-the-making have struggled with themselves, the deficiencies in their backgrounds and the context in which they had to work. Leaders who have gone before us have bequeathed a rich legacy of extraordinary achievement, overcoming insurmountable obstacles and beneficially touching the lives of thousands, if not millions of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We owe it to ourselves to actively understand how other leaders have conquered the challenge of leadership.  We find them in business, in sports, in the arts and the military. Each one is unique, and yet we share a common humanity with them. They, too, were in a place like that which we find ourselves in now. They can inspire us, motivate us; they speak to us from the past, but their lessons for us are as fresh and current as of the latest social media post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can equally learn from what they did, and from what they should not have done. Not all historical leaders were good people. To not study their lessons and the lessons of so many others is a missed opportunity to become better leaders ourselves. <\/a><\/p>
