Embracing moral authority rather than positional authority is the pathway to great leadership.
As Maxwell often says, leadership is influence.
But what are the qualities inherent in moral authority? Well, integrity – the ability to align your actions with your words and live your values consistently – is important.
Integrity makes you dependable and trustworthy – followable, in other words – in the eyes of your team because they know that you will do what you say you will, and that your actions are rooted in strong moral values
Also important is courage
That’s because acting with courage allows not just you but those around you to achieve their full potential as well.
Combine courage with integrity, and you’ll be a leader people will be happy to follow, whatever the destination.
The best lives have meaning, so embrace the leadershift from career to calling.

The first thing to know about a calling is that it matches who you are. No one ever got called to something not suited to them
The second thing is that your calling will be something you are passionate about
