The Power Of Leadership!
Leadership in a voluntary army, chapter nine of Dare to Dream and Work to Win!
What does it mean to be a leader?
- A leader is someone who knows where he/she is going and is able to motivate others to come along with him/her.
- A leader is able to answer three questions: Where are we going? How are we going to get there? Why are we doing it this way?
- Leadership is showing someone the way and then stepping out of the way!
- Leadership is providing vision, skill and motivation.
- Leadership by title or position is different from leadership by influence!
Leadership is,
- The privilege of working while other sleep.
- The privilege of reading or researching while others rest.
- The privilege of spending time driving their business while others drive a golf ball.
- The privilege of working hard in their business to make their dreams become reality; while others work hard to block out the reality that they have no dreams.
- The privilege of praying for wisdom while others are out playing with no worries.
- The privilege of routinely giving themselves to their team while others are giving themselves to television.
- The privilege of ignoring fatigue and focusing on daily goals while others capitulate to fatigue and forget their daily goals.
- The privilege of being servants to their own teams and their own life goals, while others have no goals or teams of which to give themselves.
- The privilege of delayed gratification. Doing what they may not feel like doing today so they can do, have and become what they want to be in the future. Meanwhile, non-leaders do all the little and insignificant things they want to do today at the expense of all the big and significant things they wish for the future.
I learnt one main thing from this chapter and I hope you can see it too-
LEADERSHIP IS A PRIVILEGE!
