<span style="font-weight: 400;">In this post, I’m going to talk about leadership and why it matters.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">There's so many people who have different perceptions about leadership, I say that because it’s not a topic that interests everybody. Some people think they were meant to be a follower and never ever called to lead.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Sound familiar? Perhaps you might be feeling the same thing; well, it’s time to get off those thoughts and develop a new way of thinking on leadership.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The painful truth is, you’re created to stand in a position of authority and leadership.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Me, a leader? Yes, you read that right and it’s not just you alone, it applies to everybody. I don’t care who you are, where you’re from, or what you do if there’s anything you were ever created to do in life, it all comes down to one thing, ‘leading’.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">You may be thinking, but I don’t have anyone to lead. Sounds good, but think about it this way:</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Leadership is a process, it’s part of us and has everything to do with our growth and who we have become. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Admit it, you didn’t just learn all you know by some autopilot machine; there had to be someone at some point leading you and teaching you everything you know as you go through each stage in life.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">How did you learn to wear your shoes correctly, learn strategies to build an efficient organization, learn a new habit, and so on?</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">People often don’t see what they do as a way of leading and the same applies to you; somewhere at some point, you’ve been leading people and leading your way through life.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The best leadership of all? You’ve been leading yourself!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Your thoughts might wage war among themselves over a decision you’re about to make, but you get to decide the one that you’ll implement. Part of your body might feel lazy to do something, but it will ultimately be your decision to do it or not.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">You see, everything in life has to do with you and not even once have you ever been free of the burden of leading. You are always a leader as you always will be.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">If you agree to that, we can do business, if not? Well, it’s time to close this post and do something different. (Go watch a movie instead)</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The bad news? As with bad and good decisions, there are bad and good leaders.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The bad ones always curse misfortune, lead people astray, get back triple of what they give to others, practice evil, and if you believe in the existence of Lucifer, well, you just got yourself a perfect example.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">On the other hand, are the good leaders. They help to build, encourage, set a good example, and break great records. These leaders are often the type of people we wish to see every day and even if they are gone? They remain unforgettable.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The good news? You can make a choice to be a good leader, become unforgettable, and start leading a great life.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Because you see, in the end, people might forget everything about you, but they certainly won’t forget the life you led and the mark you left.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Want to become one of those good folks? Below are three tips to master the best leadership for anything in life. Ready?</span>
<ol>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Embrace The Power of Unity</span></li>
</ol>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Let me tell you a story.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Decades ago, some folks came together with the goal of starting a project that would be the greatest thing to ever happen on earth. They wanted to build a tower; not just any tower, and it’s not the Burj Khalifa in Dubai; it was to be a tower meant to reach Heaven.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The reward? They simply wanted to make a name for themselves, it was called The Babel Tower, so go figure.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s the other part of the story. Genesis 11:5 recorded: </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;"> But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So they were scattered all over the earth and they stopped building the Babel Tower.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you notice the words ‘one people speaking the same language’ in the verse?</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">There is power in unity whenever you’re trying to get anything done. Always strive for oneness, and learn how to speak the same language as your organization and the things that matter to you. That way you’ll do just fine.</span>

&nbsp;
<ol start="2">
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Believe In Yourself</span></li>
</ol>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Most people practice the opposite - self-doubt. They simply think it couldn’t be for them, they were not the best for such a position.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Self-doubt can drive us to quitting before we even begin; it tells us that we are not good enough and might end up failing no matter how hard we try.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to become an effective leader. You must stop doubting yourself and start believing in your own abilities. There is no such thing as failure, there are only results. And it’s within our power to choose the results we want.</span>

&nbsp;
<ol start="3">
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Stop Leading And Start Serving</span></li>
</ol>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s think about Abraham Lincoln for a moment. He led the Union Army to victory in the US Civil War and ended slavery in America.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">People like Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years in jail fighting for the freedom of his people.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Not even started yet! What about Mahatma Gandhi? George Washington? Come on, what are you thinking? Most of the leaders mentioned above don’t just give instruction alone, they also practice what they preach.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">You must learn to do same with your organization and environment.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Because, you see, the truth is.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">You’re a human.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">You have gifts to share with the world.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">You were created for a greater purpose.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">You are not alone.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">And whenever you’re down, just remember, there are people out there who won’t achieve their goals without you.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">So go lead your life.</span>
