Leadership First

"Always remember that leadership is a privilege. When you are in a leadership role, your influence may affect the trajectories of people's entire careers (and often their lives!)." Leaders who understand that leading others is a privilege also understand that leading is, first and foremost about service. Too many people feel that having a position of leadership and authority is their God-given right. They feel superior to those in their employ or at so-called lower levels in the organization. I have often seen a certain level of arrogance and entitlement exhibited by people in leadership positions. Remember, being the leader means that you have been placed in a position to serve others; it has nothing to do with you; leaders are accountable for the success and livelihoods of dozens, hundreds, or thousands of people. They should never forget this fact and never act in a cavalier fashion. Their decisions, actions, and how they carry themselves impact a large and diverse community. Leaders should focus on serving their teams first because real leaders forget about themselves and instinctively react in their team's best interest. Leaders empower and uplift those around them. Inspire your team with our Amazon bestseller, “The Inspirational Leader, Inspire Your Team To Believe In The Impossible. “This book has already transformed countless leaders; now it’s your turn.

Are you a leader of good character? A leader of good character is someone whose behavior can be predicted in their absence; in other words, they stay true to their authentic self by never compromising on their values. Real leadership has always been built on a strong character. It's not just a role one plays; it is a life one leads, whether you are at home or the office. How many CEOs have resigned because of their questionable character and behavior? They destroy their reputation in a matter of seconds. This is why leaders of good character inspire employees to think and act in ways that contribute to their organization and society's well-being. It's not about an image one portrays for the public; it's about being your real, authentic self while living your life as an example for people to follow.

A “team” is not just people who work at the same time in the same place. A real team is a group of very different individuals who enjoy working together and are committed to working cohesively to help their organization achieve its common goals and fulfill its purpose. Most likely, they are not all equal in experience, talent, or education, but they are similar in one vitally important way, their commitment to the good of the organization. A leader’s role is greatly diminished without their team, and any group of people, your family, your workplace, or your community, will get the best results by working as a team.

The beauty of leadership lies in the fact that a person does not need a formal title to prove that they are a leader. Instead, people follow leaders because of their values, vision, passion, purpose, inspiration, and many more. It’s not about rank, power, or your place on the org chart; it’s all about inspiring people to believe in themselves, their gifts, their potential, and something much greater than their own self-preservation. When you have that type of influence, and people choose to follow you voluntarily, you are on the road to becoming a great inspirational leader. Leaders empower and uplift those around them.

The people whom you surround yourself with daily have a significant influence on your life. As leaders, we must choose the people around us wisely because they will significantly impact our potential and how successful we become. If you surround yourself with wise people trying to improve and better themselves, those qualities will help push you to improve. On the other hand, if you associate with people who engage in self-destructive habits, those habits will negatively affect you. Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions, especially during these unprecedented times. According to Mark Twain, small people always do that, but the greats make you feel that you, too, can become great. Being around like-minded people will help you reach your goals and, in the process, allow you to become extraordinary. Leaders empower and uplift those around them.

“Leadership is never about tearing people down and making people feel less than themselves.” True leadership is not about putting others down or making anyone feel inferior. Instead, it is about empowering and inspiring people to achieve great things. A great leader understands the strengths and weaknesses of their team; they encourage and motivate their team to strive for excellence while providing them with the support and guidance they need to succeed. A leader knows that anything is possible when people are united and working towards a common goal, and they use this belief to inspire others to reach for their highest potential.
