Leadership is ' Service' to the Community.. It's not about 'self'

 Leadership is not about the office or job title.....

If you are not ready to serve the community you are in, then you shouldn't be in Leadership.

 

The major reason why Leadership fail is because the position holder is all about self, self, and only self. Their thoughts for the office is, 'what can I gain from this position? how do I use my office to oppress those with less power than I have? I am in control and know everything? My needs first before anyone else, and the list goes on with an egocentric leader at the helm of affairs. 

Leadership is humility and self awareness including empathy for others. Only with these traits can a leader succeed at the job. As a leader, you are first human and being in that position is a God given opportunity to serve. not to control.  

Food for Thought: Posterity would judge us all. As a leader, what legacy do you want to leave behind when you are out of  office?
