Golden Rule #18
Leaders lead, followers scramble.
You should always aim to set the pace rather than follow behind someone else. In business this means be proactive and innovate rather than procrastinate and mimic someone else’s work. This really equates to being the best, or at least striving to be the best. If you are the best then you have set the standard for others to follow.
On a personal level, this rule can still be put to use as you should aim to set your own direction and be the best that you can. You will similarly be setting a path for others to follow with you as an example. Don’t settle for following in the footsteps on another. Find your way for yourself and lead your life.
