Leadership Tip
Lessons from the BP Oil Spill
As a native New Orleanian,
I have watched the
Deepwater Horizon oil rig spill
unfold with great sadness and
anger.
I tune in to AC 360 on CNN
most every night to see the
latest
events of the day and
the ongoing impact
to the
region and environment.
While I have been disappointed
in the way
many of the leaders
with titles have handled the disaster,
I
have been inspired by the determination,
heart and hard work that
ordinary people have shown.
This phenomenon is common in crisis.
Sometimes I hear people
in organizations say,
“I’m not a leader.
I don’t have the senior title.
It is up to
them.”
The BP oil spill
shows that true leadership
exists beyond one’s title and office.
It is your character
that makes a leader,
not the level at which you serve.
