“Leadership is really a philosophy for life. You are not here to merely make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with a greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world and you impoverish yourself if you forget that errand.” Woodrow Wilson
The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have never been. To lead is to inspire, energize and influence. Leadership is not about managing things but about developing people.
SEVEN LEADERSHIP TRAITS TO LIFE AND LEADERSHIP
1. Honesty – The quality of being honest
2. Industry – Persevering determination to perform a task
3. Patience – Good-natured tolerance of delay or incompetence
4. Perseverance – The act of persisting or persevering; continuing or repeating behavior
5. Loyalty – is faithfulness or a devotion to a person or cause.
6. Courage – A quality of spirit that enables you to face danger or pain without showing fear
7. Humility – A disposition to be humble; a lack of false pride
THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS A LIFE OF PURPOSE
The greatest irony of leadership is that the more you give, the more you get. And when all is said and done, the highest and most enduring gift that you will ever be able to give is the gift of what you leave behind. Your legacy to the generations that follow will be how much value you have added to your organization and how many lives you have improve.
As the great humanitarian Albert Schweitzer observed,
“There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.”
Or perhaps even more to the point, let me use the words one father offered to his son while he lay on his deathbed;
“Be ashamed to die until you have scored a victory for mankind.”
What makes greatness is beginning something that does not end with you. Take your blinders off and start looking for new opportunities. The best way to succeed in the future is to create it.
Leadership is all about focused action in the direction of a worthy purpose. Leadership is about realizing that the impossible is generally untried. Leadership is not about position, it is about action.
