The Call Of Leadership

Leadership is an attractive word. However, the implications are not as attractive. One of the requirements of leadership is taking responsibility for leadership decisions. I’ve heard many people say they are called to leadership, but I’ve observed that the call to leadership is validated when a person takes responsibility for leadership calls. Here’s another way to say it: Everyone wants to be a leader until they have to take responsibility for being a leader.

It is not enough to say I am a leader. I have to live like it and own what comes with it.
