The adage, “careful what you ask for, you might get it” might apply here. You wanted to be a leader. Why? There are probably as many answers to that question as there are people reading this. (By the way…moms, dads, teachers, etc. are also leaders!).
Some of you became a leader because you wanted control. Control of your finances, your time, your future. Many who aspire to lead want to be the “go to” person…the person who gets things done, makes things happen.
You wanted to have the answers to the tough questions, be able to make the difficult decisions. Some may have wanted to be loved, looked up to, respected, or admired.
Whatever your reason, you’ve stepped up to a leadership position. People are looking to you for answers. Now it’s time to BE the leader you’ve aspired to be! All around you people are unsure, shaken and frightened…and they are looking to you for reassurance and encouragement. You had a vision. Others chose to follow you because they believed in your vision.
As their leader, you provide direction, confidence, and inspiration. They need to see in you the calm assurance that everything will be all right. Believe in your own vision…believe in yourself…now!
Remember...Tough times DO NOT build character - Tough times REVEAL character!
