WHERE ARE THE LEADERS?
WHERE ARE THE LEADERS?
WHEN LEADERSHIP IS LACKING
In an age where people tend to follow their whims and
caprices, where things tend to drift away into chaos, where individual tend not
to feel for the needs of others, one is tempted to ask what society, the
business world, homes, religious bodies would have been without leaders.
The state of confusion which erupts when people are left to
do what they feel is good without any higher guide directs society into a path
of decay and moral decadence, businesses lose their grip on customers, homes lose
their identity and individuals forget where they belong.
In the hearts of men, there is always a cry for direction in
the right path. That which provides this path is leadership. That word
unfortunately has been used too loosely that its grip on people is being
loosened.Without a leader anarchy reigns supreme. No one ensures that laws are
being followed and the society, home, business or the group of people gathered
cannot function effectively.
LEADERSHIP DEFINED
Leadership is the ability to attract and
motivate people, to put their talents to work on meeting specific goals.
“Great leaders don’t set out to be
leaders… they set out to make a difference. It is never about the role – always
about the goal.” Anonymous
“A leader is the one who knows the way,
goes the way and shows the way”. John C. Maxwell
“Leadership is not about titles,
positions or flow chats. It is about one life influencing another”. John C.
Maxwell
WE NEED LEADERS!!!
The leader’s job is
to overcome the decay, the rot and resistance in the organization in order to
allow and make things flow in the right direction. His or her job is to
reorient the members of the group and to reshape their thinking. A leader
directs and redirects till the team gets to the defined destination.
Everything around us
points to the fact that leaders are wanted.
In the business
world, institutions cry for direction.
In the home, family
seek guidance.
In society, men’s
hearts seek answers from the people they look up to.
WHY NOT START LEADING?
What cause have you
been called to champion?
What burden has been
laid on your shoulders?
Why do you think you
exist in today’s world?
Are you ready to
blaze the trail and champion the cause of leadership?
