Leading or Walking
“A leader without followers is simply a man taking a walk.”
What about you, your organization, your vision, your mission, or your purpose will cause others to follow you?
Before we can effectively lead anyone, we must lead ourselves. Lead has several definitions, we’ll at three. In this context most would think of it as being “in charge or in command.” Another definition is “to cause someone or something to go with you by holding them by the hand while moving forward.” The final definition we’ll discuss is to be “a route or means of access to a particular place or in a particular direction.” Now, let’s synthesize the info.
If you know your purpose for existence, your purpose leads you by the hand while moving you forward towards its fulfillment. That’s the particular place or in a particular direction mentioned earlier. Your purpose is in charge, not you. It’s the absolute first step in the process and if you haven’t gained clarity on your purpose, if you haven’t been waking up with it and sleeping with it at night, you won’t get where you desire. Your purpose will not you, you will be led by the purpose of another.
Today, Wednesday, July 20, 2022, I am grateful that:
Sjonia(Shawna) is a champion. It’s great to have someone on the team actively searching for those capable and willing to enhance my current position.
Shawna facilitated a call to “Freight” who’s willing and capable of assisting. We had an interesting dialogue and we’ll keep exploring the opportunities and how we can be mutually beneficial moving forward.
I’ve been closely guarding my services. Only a select few know what I’m doing. I’m sitting on something that’s greater than myself. I refuse to allow someone to steal what’s been freely given through grace for something as trifling as money and power.
Are you walking or leading?
Can you recite your purpose fluently?
Can you confidently state your mission and how you will accomplish it?
Are you giving away the entire scenario or are you guarding it closely?
Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
