“Set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” – 1 Timothy 4:12
Everyone talks about it; few understand it. Most people desire to cultivate a high capacity for it; few actually do. I can put my hands on more than fifty definitions and descriptions of it from my personal files. If you google it, you’ll get more than 760 million results for it.
What am I talking about?
Leadership.
When I wrote the first edition of Developing the Leader Within You in 1992, people who wanted to succeed in businesses and other organizations focused their attention on management. Every year another management fad seemed to be in fashion. But few people paid any attention to leadership. It wasn’t on most people’s radar.
I have earned three degrees: a bachelor’s, a master’s, and a doctorate. Yet I did not take a single course in leadership during my studies prior to the publication of Developing the Leader Within You in 1993. Why? Because none of the universities I attended offered a single course on the subject.
Today, however, leadership is a buzzword. And schools and universities have embraced it. If you wanted to, you could earn an advanced degree in the subject at more than a hundred accredited universities. All three of the universities I attended now offer courses in leadership.
Why has leadership become so important? Because people are recognizing that becoming a better leader changes lives. Everything rises and falls on leadership. The world becomes a better place when people become better leaders. Developing yourself to become the leader you have the potential to be will change everything for you. It will add to your effectiveness, subtract from your weaknesses, divide your workload, and multiply your impact….
The bottom line is that if you’ve never done anything to develop yourself as a leader, you can start today. And if you have already begun your leadership journey, you can become a better leader than you already are by intentionally developing the leader within you.
