Leaders shape our nations, communities, and organizations.
We need good leaders to help guide us and make the essential large-scale decisions that keep the world moving.
Our society is usually quick to identify a bad leader, but do we know how to identify a good one? What would most people say makes a good leader?
Everybody defines leadership differently but I really like the way John C Maxwell defines leadership, "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." Irrespective of how you define a leader, he or she can prove to be a difference-maker between success and failure. A good leader has a futuristic vision and knows how to turn his ideas into real-world success stories.
Perhaps seeing the divisiveness playing out in our streets and the huge toll global pandemics can take on our society makes a part of you long to help somehow. If you've been waiting until after your life issues have been handled to contribute or help the people in your community in a bigger way, think again
