What defines a leader?
Many times in our lives we hear people openly say they are great leaders and they are right. Because there are two types of leaders as at today that I have seen, followed and been one.
The first type of leader are leaders of themselves. They lead themselves very well and intends to lead others lives as well. They take up challenges and expects the people around him to function exactly the same way. Now the catch is, these leaders do not tolerate failures.
Truth be told, these leaders are not the best leaders because they are so caught up in their own leadership, they forget about the one biggest problem in every plan that leaders face. It is the fact that humans were never made perfect.
Now the second type of leaders are leader that empowers. These leaders are great leaders of themselves but they have already established the fact that humans are imperfect. Hence, they look forward to leadership that empowers their team. They are not afraid to show others how to do things and to delegate tasks. Now, the first type of leaders that I explained before will hate these kinds of leaders because they seem so lazy and incompetent when their team fails them. Yes, they fail but team spirit is so strong within the team, they get back up easily.
Everyone is a leader but not everyone is a team player. You may be a great leader of yourself, you may also be a great leader that empowers your team. But success is not achieve by one person alone. So before you point your imperfect fingers at others, please notice that you do not have full control of anything in the world and you are not that special after all.
Good leaders spend their lives empowering themselves, great leaders spends their life making greater leaders.
