Morning Motivator - Being a Leader is Tough…

"A leader leads by example, whether he intends to or not."
-Unknown

Whoever said they think being the LEADER is easy; must NOT spend much time in that role. Whether your role is CEO, Manager, Minister, Team Captain, Mom or Dad… Being a LEADER is HARD DANG WORK!

The CHALLENGE of leadership comes in the OVERWHELMING level of responsibility that the role carries. You are CONTINUALLY examined, sought out and mimicked in your actions and opinions. Same or do something BRILLIANT and everyone loves you… Say or do something DUMB and you can expect that you may be the last one standing – alone.

In our society currently, we have observed a TREND of questionable leadership, defined by "deals" to pass unsupported legislation, under handed politics at the local and national levels, as well as the continued failure of TV/Sports figures to provide us any type of "POSITIVE" role model. Some may say we, as a community, are at our LOWEST of days. Maybe so…

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
I want to CHALLENGE you! I want YOU to take on a leadership role in a very difficult environment. Take on an issue you believe in, and stand for it. REALLY, stand up and lead others.

As I see it, the STAGNATION of leadership comes in the facts that our BEST leaders, simply, do NOT lead. They serve as successful business executives, exceptional parents, or diligent community workers. And yet, when the "issues" are presented and challenged by others, we clam up. WHY?

The only way we WILL change our nation, state, community, households, is through the EMERGENCE of bright, focused and steadfast leadership. Whether young or matured, we NEED great leadership.

Sure, it is a TOUGH gig… but if YOU won't stand up and lead for what you believe in – do you really have an RIGHTS to challenge someone else that does?

Cheers,
Zach
