About the Author
Excerpt
Every person is a leader of some sort, but what kind of leader they are depends on the qualities that exude from their personality. From the vagabond on the streets to the president in the White House, every person is a leader. The title before a man's name means absolutely nothing, nor does a person's background. Men don't honor titles, they honor deeds. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. labored intensively traveling across the United States fighting racial prejudices and injustice toward African Americans. He was not just a great orator, but a great leader of the people. He rallied men of all races and religious backgrounds together for a common cause which has not been duplicated to this day. Winston Churchill was not only a charismatic leader and spokesman for Great Britain, but he displayed the posture of a great leader and the qualities of a winner. He allied with the Americans during WWII then challenged other European nations to do the same. Former president Franklin D. Roosevelt had such a profound respect for Winston Churchill that even he voiced his sentiments on how they could talk for hours and how he enjoyed every minute of it.
If you were to ask 100 men about their leadership qualities and how they feel they would fare if judged by their contemporaries, 97 out of 100 would probably give themselves a passing grade. Usually men don't have any problems seeing themselves as leaders; the problem is in leaders seeing themselves as men. What a man says he is, is more often than not, different from what he is. When man sentences himself as a failure, he is judging himself by his actions. What you become as a result of your actions in life does not mean that your actions truly dictate who you are. Your actions simply indicate your present state of mind.
Every man has at one time or another experienced a thought of being a captain of men. As young boys playing GI Joe, we would lead the other toy soldiers into battle and capture the land and set the captives free. Yet, as we grew into adolescence we slowly discovered the challenges of a leader. If you played any kind of sports as a lad, you saw the pressures and the glory of the team's star player. With leadership come pressures and choices, glory and accolades, and sweat and tears. I often hear young men say to me, "I would never want your job!" My response to many of them would be, "Then you don't want to be a leader." It's not the job these young men are trying to evade, it is the pressures, the headaches and responsibilities they are not interested in having.
What separates leaders? Good question. Is it the titles such as, CEO, President, COO, Chief, Coach, Pastor, or Quarterback? Titles do not define your leadership qualities; titles describe the perimeters or range of their authority. Leaders are classified in three categories; Bad Leader, Good Leader, and Great Leader.
A bad leader can do good things, just like a good or great leader can do a bad thing, but one or two inconsequential errors do not define your entire career as a leader. Being a great leader is not solely based on how many battles have been won or how many men are being led into battle. In this present day society, people secretly judge others' leadership skills by numbers. This would be quite silly, because an evil leader can lead millions and can subdue nations, but he himself can be completely incompetent in winning internal battles over jealousy, illicit sexual appetite and hatred. Adolf Hitler was such a leader. He was a great strategist and a brilliant military mind and motivator, but he was a very insecure man. Men who walk in insecurity will inevitably try to destroy those who he feels threatened by. The end result to Adolf Hitler's kind of leadership lead to his own generals trying to kill him. One Bible character, King Saul, wanted to be great at the expense of his people. King David, Saul's nemesis, wanted the nation to be great at his own expense.
