The Character Of Leaders
So many people are trying to lead today
who haven’t fully developed their
character.
How can you tell who has developed the
character and skills needed to lead?
Perspective for one. They have a world perspective not
the perspective of someone who can only see what is right
in front of them.
How they respond to what’s happening around them
is another. Do they spend time and valuable energy
reacting to everything that’s going on around them,
everything that is being said, every pull for their attention
and and time? No. They know what they are here to do,
they know how they can help people, they know what
matters and what doesn’t and they complete their days
and their mission in control of what’s important.
When it comes to leadership it’s not what you’ve got that
matters it’s the person you are, but sometimes the stuff
that matters gets buried under all the shiny shop fronts.
It’s not about the plastic facades, it’s about the inner
resources of the leader. It’s what they have inside of them
and their ability to inspire and motivate that makes them
worthy lead others.
They don’t take notice of the gawkers,
the watchers or the critics.
They don’t follow a pied piper, being led here and there as
the tune changes. Instead they follow the tune that is
within. Surely and steadfastly.
