WHAT EVERY LEADER/POTENTIAL LEADER MUST KNOW. (THE LEADER VERSUS LEADERSHIP)

Though we are called to be leaders, we cannot become leaders unless we know what a leader is and understand the nature of true leadership.

It is virtually impossible to fully define the concept of leadership because of its complexity. Leadership consists of an array of diverse qualities, qualification, components, and unquantifiable elements.

First, there is a difference between ‘’The Leader and Leadership’’

·       Leader can be defined in two ways: It is both a designated position and the individual who assumes that position, accepting the responsibility and accountability it entails.

·       Leadership is the function of the designated position and the exercise of the responsibilities involved in the position.

In executing the responsibilities of leadership, the leader exemplifies through his words, actions and overall life-the qualities and skills that result in a positive progression toward the fulfilment of the vision.

The leader always serves to benefit those whom he is leading. He can never demand the right to lead, but rather is given the opportunity by others to serve them in that capacity. The privilege of leading is earned through the cultivation of trust.

The Leader (the individual assuming the leadership role) is temporary; but the leadership role is permanent. The leader changes, but leadership is constant.

To become a leader, you must return to your original purpose.

We are all born leaders, designed to lead in the image of our creator through His spirit.

There is a leader in everyone, waiting to be released. Will you discover the leader within you?

      Each person is meant to fulfil his unique part in the whole, each being responsible for leadership in his sphere of assignment and accountable ultimately to God the creator. In other words, each of us was created to be a leader led by the spirit of God! No one is to lord it over others or prevent them from maximizing their potential.

God created man to rule, or to have dominion, over the earth. He never gave people authority to dominate one another.(The male is not to dominate the female, and vice versa.)

Everyone can lead, but not everyone is able to identify the exact area they fit in or can perform better.

The leader within you comes alive when you discover your purpose, your life’s vision, and your potential, and when you set out to fulfil them without compromise. It is said of Helen Keller that she became an exceptional leader, once she saw the potential in her own mind.

You have what it takes. Go out and conquer your world.
