Leaders are those who with their unique personality and conduct influence the thinking and the actions of others because they orient, guide, and direct. Every situation and every environment have people in it who are the main influence on what happens in that situation. These people may not have positions of power. They may not give orders. But just by the kind of people they are, THEY INFLUENCE OTHERS. Their ideas carry weight; and their decisions influence the decisions of others.
As Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts, WE ARE ALL LEADERS because we influence someone or have influence in something. As a leader, our ideas, our judgments, and our goals have a profound impact on more persons than we will ever realize. REMEMBER, WE ARE ALL LEADERS--EXPECTED TO BE A LIVING WITNESS FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE CLIMBING UP AND DOWN THE LADDER OF ACHIEVEMENT ON A DAILY BASIS.
Since we are unique persons, only one of a kind, the sum total of all our our God-given talents needs to be used in the environments for the well-being of others entrusted to our care. Your involvement in your sphere of influence will often affect more persons than you will ever realize. The impact of a cement block thrown from a high bridge into the water will create an obvious splash and will give off a sizable ripple. However, if you threw a pebble from that same bridge into the water, the splash may not be as spectacular, but you will still generate a ripple.
We need to be constantly aware of what's happening in our day-to-day activities, and the affect that our personalities have or that should have on those unique opportunities. WHAT WE DO DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. To be an effective leader, we should be aware of some of the natural qualities expected of leaders. These qualities include the spirit of initiative, the ability to take risks, the mature sense of responsibility, a personal authenticity, and a generosity that is truly selfless.
An effective leader would do well to ponder the following verse entitled, ONLY ONE LIFE. "It only takes ONE SMILE to offer welcome and blessed be the person who will SHARE it. It only takes ONE MOMENT to be helpful and blessed be the person who will SPARE it. It only takes ONE WORD to lend real comfort and blessed be the person who will SPEAK it. It only takes ONE TRUTH to light the darkness and blessed be the person who will SEEK it. It only takes ONE JOY to lift a spirit and blessed be the person who will GIVE it. It only takes ONE LIFE to make a difference and blessed be the person who will LIVE it."
