it baffles me just how much people want to be leaders, to be in control, to own the system yet few people ever realize what leadership means. personally i happen to be passionate about this topic and i am unable to stomach bad leadership in myself and others. if i am under your leadership, just know you are under a microscope.
you see leadership goes far beyond giving orders and controlling. it is about influencing and charting people in the right direction. my best example of a true leader was Christ himself, before he asked his disciples to do anything, he showed them how, he led the way. he not only led in word but in character, and that's what leadership is about-character.
the only way to truly lead is through example, any other means is defective and inappropriate. if you cannot live by your own word and demands how then is another person supposed to be influenced by you? the truth of the matter is we remember more what people do rather than what they say.in essence people respect the leadership of character,Jesus showed us how to do it. be the first to do it then ask those under you to follow suit...it makes all the difference.
the main difference between good leadership and bad leadership is that good leadership is so well structured that the leader himself/herself is willing to follow the path they set while bad leadership is so distorted even the leader fails to fall under his/her own word. bad leaders tend to hate their own kind of leadership. do you think a controlling person would ever want to be controlled? (bad leadership right their folks)
wherever you are,whoever you are, wherever you lead, whoever you lead make sure you remember what leadership is all about. good leadership is one which even the leader is willing to fall under anything else is a distorted version. it is your example that leads, your words are just supporting characters.it is not fit to be a weak leader not in any place,you must pay the price of leadership and lead.lead by showing others the way. you think you want to lead? pay the price for leadership and you will be a true leader...
