Happy 11:11 Tuesdays Reader,

Here are 1 Thought, 1 Quote, 1 Word and 1 Humour for you to reflect upon this week.


1.

Thought

Entrepreneurial leadership inside organisations needs you to break free from one trap. - the trap keeps people stuck and waiting.

It's called the permission trap.

In my observation, most people are waiting because they are thinking if they have the title or the status or the authority. In reality, its the trap that's playing in their minds, keeping them from taking the ownership.

Entrepreneurial leadership is the ability to stop waiting to be asked or empowered, and instead assuming the responsibilities as if you were the owner.

What initiative would you take if you stopped waiting to be sponsored?
