W09 Disciple Leadership

     Having a leadership skill is very important. We often talk about how important the leadership skill is but there is not much discussion as to why being a leader is so important. Being a leader in whatever good you do helps not only those around you but it helps and benefits you personally.

    No one is a leader in everything they do. Many times a single person is a leader in one or two different areas but not many. I believe this is one reason why being a leader so so important. You as an individual have certain skills and abilities that come more naturally than they. do for others. The interesting thing is that the person next to you won't always have the skills you have but they have skills or are portrayed as a leader in the area that you aren't. So, while working together with those around you and acting as a leader in your area of expertise it allows your circle of influence, co-workers, family members, friends, etc, to be the most successful they can be.

    My words of encouragement consist of recognizing what you are good at. Everyone likes to humble and say,"I'm not that great" but you should put that mindset away and really look into where, when, what, and how you perform your best. After you have realized what you are good at, become a leader in that area and be the best. All the while being respectfully humble but not shy or ashamed of your ability.
