“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Have you heard this Leadership Quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson?
Emerson was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, and poet who published dozens of essays and gave more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States in the mid 1800s. He was a champion critic against the prevailing pressures of society.
A Leader Makes Their Own Path
Many times we’ve heard true leaders needing to make their own path, even when others ridicule or make fun of them at first. Steve Jobs was ousted from his own company before he made his own way back and made it a success. Bill Gates was so adamant that computers were the future he gave everything towards making the software that controlled it. Jeff Bezos sold books online even as others thought it was crazy to do so, and he held fast during the dot com bust to prevail as the world’s largest marketplace a decade later.
None of these billionaires, these leaders, followed someone else into their billions. They formed their own path and left a trail for others to follow.
– David McLachlan
