You Have Something to Contribute

This month, we have shared insights on developing the next generation of leaders. It is a necessary project that we ought to undertake individually and as a community. However, in my experience, I have found that a lot of leaders often feel like they have nothing to contribute toward helping young leaders. If you are one of those people who feel that way, I have to tell you that it is not true.

While there are several similarities in the journey of leadership, it can be a unique experience. Just as we have unique experiences in life, it extends to our leadership journey also. Leaders at every level of their journey learn a lot from each other’s experiences. I have learned a lot from listening and sharing with leaders who have similar, more, and even less experience. It is an important reminder that we all have something to bring to the table.

The things you consider ordinary or unnecessary can give someone the insight they need to change their situation and life. Some of the ideas that changed the world were from the simplest situations.

Don’t count yourself out. Do your part to develop the next generation of leaders.
