Why Lead Without Authority?

We were asked recently, “Why is this site called ‘Lead Without Authority?”

This site is called Lead Without Authority because we believe anyone can lead right where they are, within their context, whatever that context may be.

Don’t you have to be in a leadership position to lead others?

Throughout history, people who are considered some of the greatest leaders were not given authority by any organization, power, committee or group.  They just made the decision to lead from where they were.

Many of our most notable leaders recognized an urgent need. They had a desire for a better reality and wanted to create opportunities for others. It was important to ensure that people in their community, or sphere of influence, could reach a higher level of potential. The people around them could clearly see how this new opportunity for a better life could lead to an improved future for themselves and their families.

About Lead Without Authority

During a recent election cycle as we researched issues and the candidates, we realized how much information there is out on the web, which is great. We started keeping track of sites that we found helpful on a variety of topics. This site is a result of some of the most helpful sites and resources, plus some more. We hope it serves you well. If you have a resource that you think we should include, let us know.
