Thanks to a tip from Carlos Whittaker, I visited Tony Morgan’s blog. I found lots of interesting posts. One in particular caught my eye. It is entitled, 10 Easy Ways to Know You’re Not a Leader.
Here’s a summary of what he says:
- You’re waiting on a bigger staff and more money to accomplish your vision.
- You think you need to be in charge to have influence.
- You’re content.
- You tend to foster division instead of generating a helpful dialogue.
- You think you need to say something to be heard.
- You find it easier to blame others for your circumstances than to take responsibility for solutions.
- It’s been some time since you said, “I messed up.”
- You’re driven by the task instead of the relationships and the vision.
- Your dreams are so small, people think they can be achieved.
- No one is following you.
It is definitely worth visiting Tony’s blog and reading the entire post.

I like this one: Your dreams are so small, people think they can be achieved.
That was interesting. Thanks for sharing the link, Mike.
What a challenging list. I like the one about not being content. I’m never content!
But I worry what I’m supposed to do with verses like Philippians 4:11. How can a leader be content no matter what the circumstances, but still keep the edge that a good leader needs?
#7 Caught my attention.
What if it has been a long while since those that are following you said, “you got it right?”
No pressure in leadership, nahh.
