Episode #102: Leadership is for All! Featuring John Laurito
“People, I think, get the misconception that leaders are only people that are in specific roles, or have different titles and that's not the case. Everybody is a leader, truly everybody, because you're leading the most difficult person, and that's yourself,. That's probably the most difficult person you ever gonna have to lead.”

If we solely define a “leader” as someone in charge of a company, team, or political party, then the notion that anyone acan become a leader would be a difficult concept lpto accept. However, when the core elements of leadership are broken down, we’ll find that everyone has qualities that leaders possess.
The difference oftentimes is that not everyone encounters the exact set of circumstances in life where those qualities can really shine, be recognized and put into practice. Exercising self leadership challenges individuals to recognize, develop and constantly improve their own leadership qualities and put them to positive use in life every day.
“If you've got gaps in how you're leading your own life, ultimately, that's going to come across and that's, that affects your own influence of other people. People want to follow people that have figured things out a little better than they have, that's what tends to cause us to follow them.”
Through two decades of running organizations and leading four organizations through major change and transformation, John Laurito naturally developed a passion for learning and teaching top level leadership. His own curiosity for wanting to know what made leaders great led to him launching the Tomorrow’s Leader podcast and writing his book, “Tomorrow's Leader: How the Best Leaders Become Better in a Fast-Changing World”
John joins Audley on The Audacious Living Podcast for expanded conversation on leadership and touches on the importance of self-leadership, the connection between happiness and leadership, how starting your day with a daily regimen or routine can put you in the right frame of mind and what makes new leaders successful.
