Knowing the way isn't leading the way!

We’re finally in the month of September- where has the time gone?

It has been a little while since I came your way, but today I am excited to come your way and think with you on this week's weekly wisdom as we focus on "Leadership".

One of my personal mentors -John C Maxwell defined leadership as this: Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less!

Do you agree with him? Well whether you do or not, let‘s explore this topic of Leadership together shall we?.

Quote: A leader is the one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way! - John C Maxwell.

TIP:?Every leader in any organisation, institution, system and even as we lead in our homes and business, requires us to know the way ahead, know the vision, the plans, the steps required to produce certain results, the resources need and so much more. However in our present day, what we give back to the next generation or perhaps those coming up behind us is even more crucial.?

To know the way is one thing , however the real testing is in how we walk this journey and how we show the way to others.?

Today i want to share with you my own journey in leadership and how i have come to walk the way and show the way through what i have learnt from my mentors. It is my hope that you will be able to apply one or more of these principles and they will empower you to also lead the way, show the way and go the way.

Practical Application :

• Redefine your priorities
• Examine your character and by this I mean truly examine your character, be humble, be human, be flexible, dont be focused on titles, dont be hypocritical, dont be speaking badly about others behind their back, only cowardly leaders would do that, have empathy, be ready to always listen and be ready to always lend a hand.?
• Don't be excessively busy, it only leads to stress anod low productivity?
• Create a positive environment and attitude so to that those you lead may also be so.
• Be a leader who serves others
• Be a leader who is self disciplined?
• Be a leader who is committed to her own personal development.?

Well, that’s it for today, as you walk these principles in your own life as a leader you are automatically showing those you lead how to also be.?

Question?: Which of these principles will you start practicing from NOW??

Will you write to me and share with me??

Will you commit to being that kind of leader who knows the way, shows the way and goes the way?

I know you all are! I believe in you.?

Until next week, remember to put into practice the tips on how to be a true leader and enjoy the pursuit of your potential this week.
