how to know if you're a leader

continuing in my thoughts about leadership...

my last post dealt with the fact that perhaps the biggest crises facing us is not energy, going green or even abortion - it's the fact that there is an continental sized deficit in leadership!

when the leadership crises is resolved, others issues are resolved!

think about it:

• balancing the nation's budget - needs leadership!
• overturning radical judicial zealots - needs leadership!
• raising a family - needs leadership!
• reaching and changing a community - needs leadership!
• making an impact into drug-blanketed neighborhoods - needs leadership!
• rescuing women from sex slavery/trade - needs leadership!
• leading a church - needs leadership!
• leading a small group - needs leadership!
• coaching a child's team - needs leadership!
• making significant changes in one's own life - needs leadership!

all of the above situations are very real areas where their is an obvious and apparent leadership crises because there is a leadership deficit.

so, how do you know if you're a leader?

take a look around!

leadership is NEVER alone...

• who are you leading?
• at work?
• at church?
• as a coach?
• in the school pto?
• in your neighborhood?

leadership is never alone!

if you're alone, you're not a leader - you're a follower...that's ok, just don't try to act like a leader - be the BEST follower you can until you lead again...
