Today is my big brother’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Blake! (This photo was taken at my wedding in 1997—my best man & me.)
Reflecting on our lives growing up, I realized that I learned some leadership lessons early in life from my big brother. As I’ve mentioned before, we in the Human Resources field like to point out that “past performance is the best predictor of future performance.” Applying that principle to leadership, I think it’s fair to say that “followership is the best predictor for leadership.”
