The Call to Leadership

It is undeniable that each of us have spheres of authority that we influence in our day to day lives. Our life circumstances, occupation, personalities, education, spiritual belief system, and convictions all play a role in how we affect others for the betterment of society.

It is our duty to begin the leadership process not on those that we manage or influence, but on ourselves and our families first. A true leader is not someone that has it simply stamped on their business card, but someone who takes time to self-assess, adjust, learn, fail, relearn, and apply the principles that they have learned for the development of others. We are commissioned to make the world a better place one life at a time, beginning with ourselves, expanding to our families, our communities and beyond.

The first step in leadership is realizing the significance in praising others. Take time today to tell your spouse, children, or friends how much you are proud of them.
