There’s a question I’ve been mulling over lately — “Are you a leader, a thinker or a doer?”
Obviously, people can be a combination of the three, and any successful organization probably needs all three.
After all, a doer who doesn’t think, or who doesn’t respond to leadership, is just flailing about, and all that doing may actually be counterproductive.
A thinker who can’t do, can’t lead others to do or can’t work with a leader on getting things done is just contemplating the world without anything actually happening.
And a leader who can’t think or do probably isn’t much of a leader and probably won’t be a leader for long. All that’s left is inspiration or fear, and those both wear off after a while.
While I hope I have at least some traits of all three, my bias is toward the doers. After all, the greatest leadership and most-brilliant thoughts in the world are nothing without the people who actually get stuff done.
So which one are you?

In first grade, we had Think and Do books. They were fill-in notebooks for classroom exercises.
