Google “leadership” and you will arrive at a total of 147,000,000 results. Leadership is a hot topic. By definition a leader is a person who leads. A guide or conductor, a person who directs, has commanding authority or influence. Leadership is the procedure of influencing the thoughts, acts, and motivation of persons or a group through communication to achieve a vision/goal. Leaders affect our each and everyday lives in both good times and bad times. This is likewise a very philosophical question at heart. Propose the question “What is leadership and what intention does it serve?” to a doctrine class and I imagine that the discussion would be rather electric. The intent of leadership is to inspire a person or group of persons to accomplish a goal. The leader’s aim is to steer and motivate them toward accomplishment of a goal for the good of the large. In other words leadership is specified by the intention it serves: to advance a better way. Stephen Covey states “Effective leadership is putting introductory things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out” Leadership is all around us day in and day out on varying scales of degree. The choir as a group leads the church members in song, the lead goose heads south for the winter forming a intimate V shape overhead as other geese join mid flight, the football coach calls a time out to confer with his players, the president holds the annual state of the union address to inform and solidify a nation. Leading does not equate with being in charge. In actuality, leaders aren’t inevitably in charge at all. Leadership is a combining and application of personal traits, knowledge, skills, talents, complex mental states and abilities. One of the styles of leadership is to delegate and a good leader knows when and how to pick the right person(s) for the job. Intelligence is a trait we are all born though at dissimilar levels and it takes training to invent this commodity. Albert Einstein once said, “We will have to take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles but no personality. It cannot lead; it may only serve.” Good leaders use and manufacture their intelligence to pair with their self-awareness, influential skills, sensing and aspect of honesty, integrity, and selfassurance to guide us toward their vision of a better outcome for the group. Life demands leadership. Where there are leaders there are followers. We require vision along with the direction and motivation to achieve our goals. Without this we are lost. The greatest selling book, the bible, states in Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish. |
