What Makes A Leader?
I’m curious on everyone’s thoughts on this question - are you a leader simply because people follow you?
Can you be a leader when no one is following or serving alongside you?
How does one know they are a leader?
I was told I was a leader many times over my twenties and thirties, and it shocked me every time. I didn’t have a following or a business, and I wasn’t managing a team. Why would someone say I was a leader?
One particular example was when I was attending a multi-session, secular “personal transformation” conference in San Diego and there were 75 of us (strangers to each other) in the group. One of the sessions required everyone in the room to vote for the leaders who had made a difference in their experience, and I was one of 5 that were acknowledged as such. Again, it was a shock to me, as I’d never seen myself that way.
I finally decided the only person I was hiding from was myself, and to be the leader God called me to be. It’s been a strange, fun, interesting and difficult journey but I believe He’s brought me to a place where He can use me, now that I’ve submitted to His plan for my life.
I’m bringing this up to ask what YOUR journey has looked like toward being a leader and when did you fully step into it and embrace the calling?
