Leadership is a noticeable exercise of practices and not something
incomprehensible that cannot be understood by normal people. With
feedback and usage, those with desire and perseverance can
considerably improve their skills to do so. A football federation worker.
a team organizer, a middle, manager, an account executive, an athletic
team captain, the mailroom worker, or just about any other individual
we come in contact with can use his drive to learn how to lead.
Leadership has an objective and aim to achieve whatever common goal
brought the members of the group together. Whether deliberate or
unintended a procedure of human communication fosters the objective
and aim.
There can be no leadership without someone to lead. The affiliation is
only fruitful when the coworkers desire to follow the leader. Leaders
need followers. Leaderless societies do not occur. Whenever two or
more individuals come together, there is no such thing as unrestrained,
unobstructed, or uninfluenced manner of behavior.
Leadership involves group effort without conspiracy or flattering. An
indication of its existence is willingness to labor together as a team
rather than alone in reaching goals. There is a process of give and take
with the leader effective when the group achievement is larger than
what could have been accomplished by individuals.
Some individuals exhibit better trends toward leadership than others.
They develop knowledge, capability, and constant exertion to learn.
They exhibit the finest ethics and principles of the group. They do
deeds not just exhibit characteristics. The leader contributes, shares
talents, and imparts knowledge to others.
We need to learn the biblical perspective of leadership. Christ came
with a new definition for Christian leaders set forth in the tenth chapter
of Mark’s gospel. The account indicates how religiously unperceptive
the disciples were. James’ and John’s wish for authority could only be
understood if they succumbed to servanthood. Christ Jesus overturns
earthly values saying:
“Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant and
whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the son of
man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a
ransom for many.’’
This is the new definition for real leadership. God bless South Sudan.
