Leader vs Professional
I wish I had known sooner the difference between leader and
professional. Sometimes being a professional means going above
and beyond the call of duty. Being a leader can simply mean being
a leader in your assigned duties, and then going home or just
checking out. I also didn't know what the specific criteria was
for being a professional. Being a leader also does not always
mean being front and center for whatever is happening, and it can
mean taking a step back and allowing others to shine or have the
spotlight.
