Transformation

Spring is a time in the Midwest when the word "transformation" can be seen in the truest sense all around you. Over night the ice scape of winter begins to fade and loses it's grip on the land. Soon water is flowing again, birds begin to call and the slight hint of spring green begins to push into the world from the ground up. Just to be outside to smell and feel spring becomes in itself a transformation to the mind, body and soul.

This morning I am speaking to a large group of insurance professionals in Minneapolis around the topic of transformation and how it relates to leadership. Although the word leadership itself can be tough to define I like adding the word "transformational" because of the power it brings.

Here's my definition:
Transformational Leadership calls for its leaders and their followers do what is good, right and necessary given the tasks, values and vision of the community.

This is not an easy definition to internalize and live. There is a selflessness and call to action that can be hard, scary yet quite possibly ground breaking to pursue.
