This is a common term used lately as I am attending seminars and working with clients.  We talk a lot about "emergent leaders" or "emergent products" but what does that mean? Emergent is a bit of a fluid process of becoming prominent or stepping up.  An emerging leader is one who seems to have a smooth almost effortless flow to their growth, someone who is a "natural" or has "it" and yet not someone who is entitled or expected to have the job.   What are you doing to cultivate your career and become that emergent leader?  Do you have someone on your team that you would consider an emergent leader? Expanding Excellence - Personal Paradise Builders Blueprint, Productivity Training (expanding-excellence.com)
