How To Be A Great Leader
Send to friend | Print Article | Back to Home  RSS Feed
How are we going to define a great leader? There must be something instinctive deep inside of us that rises up and shouts “who’s the greatest?” This question has also fueled the sports industry from the inception of time. If things kind of quite down on the sports scene then the advertising world and sport’s talk show try to stir things up. They start throwing out these questions – are the sports stars today better than the stars of several decades ago? If we could bring somehow bring the two separate generations together where both are the same age, who would be better? Who’s the most valuable player of the year? The decade? The past two decades? Society sets up the comparisons in every area of life. Who’s the best dressed? Who’s the worst dressed? Who’s the sexiest? Who has the most sex appeal? Who’s the richest? Who owns the most companies? Who has the biggest mansion? Who has the poorest decorating tastes? Who’s the best chef? Comparisons without end. So, are these comparisons of any value? I doubt they really mean anything lasting. Zig Ziglar has said “that if you help enough other people achieve what they want, you will achieve what you want.” That quote is used by pretty much all the motivational trainers and coaches today. I have heard Myron Golden, Elle Drake, Gabrielle Whitney, Jeffrey Combs, Dwayne Golden, Artimis Limpert, and others use that statement. That statement is in direct opposition to the world’s definition. It is interesting to note that in the New Testament of the Bible when the disciples asked Jesus that question, “who’s the greatest?” Jesus didn’t criticize them for asking the question. What Jesus did you try to get them to correct their definition of greatness. Jesus said, “whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.” Mark 10:43-44. True greatness is serving others. I don’t think I have to tell anyone that this whole comparison thing is alive and well in the churches of North America. And I’m not just talking about the people in the pews, I mean those who stand behind the pulpits. When pastor’s get together you hear the questions – how many people in your church? How big is your building? How many staff members do you have? How many programs is your church operating? What does serving others look like? Obviously it is going to cover the entire spectrum of the serving definition. But basically it will mean helping others get what they want. Great leaders help others become great. Not everyone will be a leader of leaders but everyone can become great using their talents and abilities. The majority of people have great talents and abilities that they have not developed. Perhaps, because of some words of criticism said by their parents, their friends, or their teachers they are afraid of trying something again. A great leader will help discover, or re-discover, that talent and point them towards greatness. Great leaders are not afraid of helping others become even greater than they have become. We all know those who are threatened by someone else who can ‘do it better.’ A lot of terrible are things are done by those who feel threatened. If they would only learn that helping the other person will also help them in the end. If you want to become great then you are going to have to help others become great. There really is no other way. Anyone who wants to have their own business knows that they must help others achieve success. Dwayne Golden, Jr. knows this and offers to help others. shofro2k1.edcgold com. James Heller Send to friend | Print Article | Back to Home |
