THE PAIN, THE TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR WORTH, AND LEADERSHIP
Leadership is never an abomination for those who are qualified; however, it becomes an abomination when those vested with authority abuse their power. True leadership entails trust, fact-checking, and the ability to differentiate between manipulation and the exalted content of one's authority.
- "A leader is not one who has followers, but one who has leaders following him." – John C. Maxwell
Where do we go wrong? Perhaps it's when we delegate authority to each department, or maybe our emotions, ego, or even lack of wisdom come into play. Everyone has that one person who can influence them, but if you don't have someone who can hold you accountable, you're in a high-tension situation that's ripe for damage.
- "Leadership is not about titles, positions, or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another." – John C. Maxwell
A few months ago, I reflected on how some leadership structures operate. It's a pure dictatorship system in which followers speak ill of their leaders behind their backs but praise them to their faces. They play the game well, but those of us who aren't quick to speak know what's really going on. Once you start speaking negatively about your mentor or father figure, forget about being respected by others.
- "The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things." – Ronald Reagan
In conclusion, as a leader or father figure, it's essential to know your worth and establish it before your followers to avoid chaos and confusion in this season of life. This letter is intended to offer guidance
