They say some people are just "Born Leaders." As a kid, my mom and many others used to tell me that I was a "natural born leader." The manner my mom tells it, I became 7 in Girl Scouts and she came to watch a production that the Scouts put on. She asked the mom in control at the end of the production how it was put together and she said, "Heidi wrote it, directed in it and starred in it." My proud mother quickly proclaimed, "she's a born leader."
Despite my mom's urban legend, I simply don't believe that people are really born leaders. True leadership requires a deep understanding of what others need, want and envision - we are simply not born with this cognitive ability. But I DO believe that there are many leaders in our daily lives, individuals whom we may not recognize as leaders, yet their leadership is clearly present.
John Quincy Adams once said, "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
Who does this make you think of?
I think of a Parent.
Our children do not know what they want as infants, we pave the way of Possibility in front of them to encourage them to DREAM. We give them the resources to go to school and educate them at home so they continuously LEARN. We inspire our children to always DO more. We support our children to BECOME all that they can be. The Leadership Role we have as parents within our homes is more significant than any other role we play.
In searching for a leader in the MLM business I look for people who exemplify what books by John Maxwell said,
"Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them."
Personally, I want a leader who has walked in my shoes, was battling to attain fame and can bask with me in the glory of my accomplishment. The characteristics of good leaders I have experienced at Numis Network are people who inspire me, relate to me and encourage me.
It's not about becoming born a leader, it's really about Seeing It, Believing It, and Walking the walk, Talking the talk, and Leading the Team down the Road into its Future. A Very Bright Future!
Until the Next Time
