Leaders Can Be Found Everywhere

Often the word leader is thought of as only someone in the government, a CEO, or the owner of a business, but the truth is, while these are examples of people who can be leaders, the title of a job doesn’t define leadership. Instead, what defines leadership is the ability to influence others.

The Person Who Gets Things Done

Whether it’s your local PTA, or your neighborhood, the person getting things that need to be done, done, are community leaders. Even if they don’t personally take on the formal roles that most people see as leaders, the fact that they get things done shows that they are leaders.?

The Person with The Vison

Identifying long-term strategic goals, eliminating roadblocks, recognizing change, solving problems with a deep understanding of the desired result, and sharing that idea in an understandable and motivational way with others is an essential leadership skill that is often overlooked when choosing people with the obvious titles to lead.?

When you realize that leaders are everywhere, including in your family, in your workplace, and neighborhood, even if they don’t carry a specific title that designates them as leaders, but that leadership is defined more by the effect a person has on others, it becomes clear that it’s within your power to become a leader in any area of life that you want to.
