Leadership comes from a no. Yes, you read it correctly. I didn’t mean to put a yes. I did put the two letter word. I want to more outside the box when formulating a response to this question.
My personal thought is that if everything in the world worked perfectly then we don’t need leadership. However, today I am the leader, but I am the leader for some people said, “No”. I took the initiative to direct and guide others not because I said yes, but because others said “no”. I wanted to help others, because others lead them away with a “No”. This concept is far-fetched.
A person who seeks change is more often than not told no, and then once they find that certain someone then they will be hearing a yes. Not everyone can achieve greatness without failing. It’s okay to fail and be lead a stray. However, if you earnestly believe in something or someone there is a good chance you will bounce back.
George Washington our great leader in charge of the American Army in fact loss plenty of battles within the first 3 years. He probably heard many people tell him he couldn’t do it. However, with his earnest belief for a country of independence he led the Americans to victory. It takes time to build the momentum of a leader. It will take criticism and distrust. However, the leader will be victories when they stick to their beliefs and make themselves stronger.
Failure is an option. It will be an option, but don’t let failure turn into neglect. If you keep working at the leadership skills you have then you will do wonders. Still to this day I go to seminars about leadership, participate in leadership games, and provide trainings about leadership. Every time I do one of these things I grow in small ways that will leave a lasting impact.
