LEADING RIGHT

As a way of introduction, you should know that by default:

-         You were CREATED to Lead

-         You were BORN to Lead

-         You are CALLED to Lead

“Leadership is inherent in the human spirit, there’s a hidden leader in man. Man was born that way, he was born to lead, but must grow into it. Your growth into leadership is essential to leading a great life and make impact happen”  - Dr. Chris Udofia

“Leadership is INFLUENCE nothing more and nothing less”  -  John Maxwell

Truth is everybody is a leader, because everybody has influence, but are we all leading?

“Most people think they want to be leaders, but what they usually want is the rewards of leadership not the responsibilities, they want the fun not the frustrations, they want the exhilarating days and not the exhausting nights”  -  Hans Finzel

Leadership is not what you do,

Leadership is not what you have,

Leadership is WHO you are.

True leadership is seen in service to humanity.

True leadership is seen in selflessness.

True leadership is seen in the display of love, empathy and humility.

“The person of a leader is worth much more than the office of a leader”

PERSONAL LEADERSHIP

Personal leadership is the foundation for success in leadership. If you are a success in leading YOU, then you have the right to lead another.

“If the person of a leader is biased, compromised, corrupt and perverse, his office most definitely won’t be innocent”

- Dr. Chris Udofia

Leading from the overflow of who you are is what makes leadership rewarding, impacting strong and unique.

VALUES & VIRTUES

The strength of your personal leadership is seen in the value system of the leader.

Values are ones belief system. The beliefs that people have about what is true and important to them.

Values influences behavior, it can be improved upon through the different situations and challenging times we find ourselves or allow.

Virtues are behavioral habits, they are what people exhibit fairly consistently.

Someone said; “We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act but a habit”       

Values are not a kind of gift or some honorary award given for a job done, values are developed over time. The strength of your personal leadership depends on it. Your values are what form your life ideologies and philosophies and your ideologies influence your behavior.

Values are learnt, imbibed and cultivated, virtues are what you give out. Virtues are all what people will get from the values of your personal leadership.

Leadership is Learned

Leadership is Grown into

Leadership is Practiced and

Leadership is Lived

When your values are wrong then your leadership will be corrupt.

Personal leadership is you adding content into your person, the content of your person is the strength of your character as a leader

If you must LEAD RIGHT then build a strong value system that can last your life time.
