We are very much a power hungry society. We place high values on leadership positions, sometimes regardless of how a person is using that leadership. Too many times we see individuals in leadership roles taking advantage of that role and the people they lead, only making decisions for their own personal gain. To me, this is not leadership.
Leadership is about making a change in the lives of other's for the better. It takes a lot of initiative to be able to enact change within your community, but in doing so you are leading a group in a direction that benefits them, instead of using the power for personal gain. |
