Rebels Do the Tough Stuff
Rebels are not afraid to take on responsibility.
They understand that this may mean additional challenges, more work and effort, it might upset a comfortable position they may have and it might mean that they stand out from others and attract unwanted or unpleasant attention - but they do it anyway.
They understand that someone has to step forward to do the ‘tough stuff’, at some point someone has to lead the way. However they don’t do it just for praise or recognition or even power - although they may come when they are successful - they do it because they realise an important thing about responsibility - it is done out of love and a desire to be of service to others.
Rebels will not act out of ‘duty’ - they understand that too often ‘duty’ is used to co-erce people into doing things they would rather not do - and therefore they end doing it without commitment or desire. They are not engaged with the work or the task.
Rebels understand a simple principle of leadership - never to ask someone to do something that one is not willing to do oneself. Therefore they will always seek clarity because they understand that to be succesful a person needs to know clearly ‘what’ needs doing and ‘why’ it is of direct value to the person expected to do it.
Rebels lead by being an example, by being willing to be the first to ’step up’ when needed and never to give into their fears.
