from SAX IN THE MORNING · host Steve Sax

I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.There are lots of different kinds of leaders in life, but there’s one type whose credibility doesn’t even carry as far as their voice as they tell everyone how to live. I’m talking about the locker room lawyer. You all know this person, trying to pump people up with words backed with zero action. They lack the experience and knowledge to lead others yet try to do so anyway with boisterous speeches and high fives. Real leaders just show up, they shut up and they put up. If you listen closely when people are asked what makes a given person a good leader you will almost always hear them say something like “They lead by example. They just show up and work hard and show everyone how to get things done.” Obviously there are the rare spectacular leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. or Knute Rockne who combine their passion, knowledge and work ethic,  with unparalleled eloquence. But for the rest of us, the best way to be a great leader is to suit up and show up and say only what needs to be said. Remember, Sax in the Morning swag is now available on my Instagram site.
