Chand and I collided, and it started a conversation about leadership and what makes it possible. After our meeting, I had the opportunity to read his books and soak in his ideas. I want to know the story behind your work. How did you first develop the idea for your books?
Waiting for someone to call me into the auditorium, I stared out the window. As I meditated on the points I wanted to cover as a featured speaker at this leadership conference, something in the street below caught my attention. A man stood on a ladder painting—not that uncommon a sight. I smiled, remembering my student days in college. I had spent my summers doing that kind of work. For several minutes, I watched his graceful motions as he moved his brush and roller across the surface.
As I watched, I noticed that this painter was only covering a limited area. He stretched as far as he could to the left, to the right and even reached above his head. It also occurred to me that he was only going to the height that he was comfortable at, even though the extension ladder he was using could reach much higher.
From my painting experience, I remembered that once I was on the ladder and had the necessary resources, I painted a much larger area before taking the additional time needed to climb down and relocate the ladder. It was an efficient method. What would allow him to go higher? Then I saw the reason—no one was holding his ladder.
He had done everything he could by himself. He needed help. As I watched his graceful strokes, I realized the leadership parallels.
Then another thought struck me: Those who hold the ladders are as important as the leaders themselves. The visionaries could have all the training possible, the most expensive equipment, years of experience and knowledge about painting, and a blend of expertise and passion about their craft.
The ladder holder determines the height to which the ladder climber ascends. Who's Holding Your Ladder? Sold out. Help us improve this page. About this item. Specifications Number of Pages: Sub-Genre: Christian Life. Format: Hardcover. Publisher: Whitaker House.
