I have been identified and approached by leaders who saw my potential and asked me to apply for a position. I was humbled and honored to be identified and I accepted the invitation. It has led to several great opportunities I never would have had if someone had not approached me.

Is there someone in your work environment who you have identified as a potential leader? Have you engaged them in a conversation about their future as a leader? 

Likewise, has someone approached you for a leadership position in your organization? 

Did you accept the opportunity? 

How did that make you feel?
