Today there is such a big focus on turning people into leaders. What is being presented is the 5 steps and the 7 steps of what you need to do in order to become a good leader.
Reality......you can apply the 5 steps and do all 7 steps, but unless you grow in your entire being to become a good leader those steps will make no difference.
The role of a leader is to Provide and Protect. Until your being grows into this role....you cannot be a good leader. So what does this role look like you may ask? To Provide and Protect includes two areas:
1) Trust
a. Character
b. Competence
2) Security
a. Emotional (attitude) stability
b. Financial responsibility
Just look at the areas where you step into a leader role: marriage, family, team leader, supervisor, manager, director, CEO, minister and president. This list is not complete!
What does your relationships look like within these areas? We are so quick to blame other people and other things when these are not good. Yet if you go and look at these with great honesty in line with Trust and Security.......where do you need to grow? What do you need to ask forgiveness for? What do you need to take responsibility for?
Again I will say, that at the heart of success lies relationship.
