Lead Yourself
Everybody wants to be a leader in some form or another. Maybe you like to be a leader within your company and grow as a unified company. Maybe you want to lead your team in achieving their goals and ambitions. Maybe you want to lead your community with initiatives and events to boost your neigh’s sense of self and value. Or maybe you are a parent looking to lead your kids to a better future with activities and lessons that can be passed down from generation to generation.
All of these causes are noble and of good nature. Everyone should have at least one of these as their goals for the future and something to work on every day.
The way to work on it? By first being a leader of yourself
Leadership development is self-development, expressing yourself fully. For you to be a leader among many, you must first become a leader of one. Applying the lessons, virtues, and behaviors you want to instill into others by instilling them in your everyday life and setting the example for others to replicate and follow down the road.
Be a model for the way that you want to get things down for your team, for your community, and for your family.
Demonstrate what you want people to be and do—actualizing your optimal potential.
Want people to be more patient towards others? Offer that same patience to those around you. Do you like them to be more forward-thinking and offer solutions rather than just problems that must be fixed? Be upfront with your ideas and make it a mission not to come to someone with an issue unless you know how to solve it.
People follow the messenger before the message. Be the beacon, the guide, the compass for growth and prosperity by being that same light to your inner self and outward behavior.
Then, when the time is right, you can apply those lessons and experiences to wherever you are needed for others around you.
You will be more equipped, better prepared, and ready to face any obstacles and challenges that come with your chosen role.
Lead yourself to the compelling future you have created.
