Leadership
is a strange word. Whom one person calls a leader another calls a despot
while another calls them a follower. On our journey we use the word leader
as a person who guides or inspires others. Everyone I know has some leadership
qualities. There are many documented tools that leaders throughout history
have used. If your journey is to be a leader, the more tools available to
you the more effective your journey. Although a leader may be very busy,
the act of leadership is normally a quiet activity. Quiet reflection and
the knowledge of when to not take action is as relevant as when to take
action. Although decisions are not
easy, a toolkit to use on this journey will assist in making a greater percent
of effective answers. Leadership is a learned process. Although someone
may be called a born natural leader, if they depend only their naturalness,
they will probably lead into disaster. The trait of natural leader can be
confused with a trait called charisma. Leading is an art and a constantly
changing activity. The tools of
handling these changes and recognizing change when needed are what are honed
in leadership journeys. Leadership should be studied before we are thrust
into the role as leader. However, leadership is thrust on you, we can assist
on your journey.
The
tools provided can also enhance all parts of the participant’s life.
