Take Me To Your Leader Or Supervisor

Take me to your leader or another way to say it for me lately has been, let me speak to your supervisor! Since our move back to Tucson i have had to utter that phrase more than once as we have tired to get cable, DSL, garbage pick-up and more things accomplished in our new home. Customer service sucks in our world today because leadership sucks!

I am intrigued by this thing called leadership. I often wonder why some do, and some don’t. Why some learn and others don’t. Leadership is ultimately influence. But I believe great leadership is influence to do good. Too many people in this culture are poor leaders; leaders who influence people for bad. When I was younger, even in my 20’s I had a desire to be famous. I guess I am not alone. Many people I have spoken too have wanted to be a “rock star” of sorts. This explains the popularity of American Idol show. But I have matured, okay maybe not; but now rather than being famous I want to be influential. I want to help people have a better life.

I believe that in each person’s core we want to be a force for good rather then evil. So that thought out; how can we grow our leadership muscle? Become more influential? Truly help people?

One way might be to get find and hang around some good leaders, people that might be a step or more ahead of you.

Develop some relationships and walk in accountability.

Ask God for help in whatever area you are in. Develop a habit of reading the Bible. It's a great book on leadership with many examples of from leaders, both good and bad!

Practice – Do leadership. Start small, and God will give you bigger stuff!

“The key to great influence is being great at whatever you are doing now” – Timmy Gibson
