LEADERS DEVELOP DAILY, NOT IN A DAY


In this blog, I’d like talk about leadership principal for a research paper in order to encourage us to adopt a lifestyle of personal growth. Leaders develop daily, not in a day, which means leader doesn’t happen automatically. We cannot build a character or goal within one day, but through a process.

During the session of my work with leaders, I discover that so many of us get hung up on the “ should and shouldn’t “ of leadership by comparing themselves with other leaders. Leaders, who feel the need to compare themselves with leaders held up in public as great business leader, it will leads themselves to a disservice.

We are all human beings with unique strengths and experience that make it impossible to lead exactly like someone else. We should have our own leadership personality that is based on our character and uniqueness. Don't worry on your weakness. Dedicate yourself to fine-tuning your strengths.

For instance, we can work especially hard on personal growth such as lead, comunicate, create and network. When discovering your leadership personality, you first need to recognize what leadership to you. There are as many kind of leadership as there are leaders. The most important thing for you as a leader is to discover your own characterization of leadership. For instance, we can maintaining the easiest to the hardest. Firstly is lead down, where we become influence to people that's looking up to us. Secondly is inspires those around you to execute their very best. Thirdly is lead up, which is very challenging where can become most influential to people that are above or more advance than us.
Lastly, the most significant but yet the hardest one to do is to lead our self. Where we have to maintain our self, know where we are going, and have self- control. Leading our self is the most important skill of being an inspiration leader cause we can't lead others unless we can lead ourself. That's why many people failed being a leader because when they fail, they focused more on being upset and keep trying to change to change people without focusing change from the inside. When people cannot respect us a leader, we first have to ask our self. what I have done wrong instead of blaming them and being upset. 


Lead with protection. Great leaders needs to feel secure about them self. Know her or his purpose, stay and serving to their calling. Expected to change. When change is necessary for us to improve, not changing is damaging. Therefore, we have to anticipate change that many happen rather than being forced to change when we are not ready

Maturity is a key for life. Meaning that we don't have to ask questions all the time. There will be a time where we need to decide our own wise decision without asking for people opinion.

Lastly, it is also important to protect our self. We have to choose whom we want to be surrounded by. Sometimes we have to let go when for example our relationship with certain people hinder us from moving forward. But we have to remember letting go one person in order to grow is not a mistake, cause when we grow, we will be able to attract new and more and more people towards us.





Once you understand your self as a leader, your leadership personality , then you can determine whether you want to make changes as a leader and develop a plan to get there.
