You Are a Leader

Good leadership reflects the character of the leader. People are aways impressed if the results of a project are good. If not so good it may lead to heated arguments.

The goal of any leader is to motivate  a person, group, or organization for the common good. We, the hard working people that we are, will know them by the fruits of their labor. Like you, I can easily identify with many good and not so good things that will make my blood boil, figuratively speaking. 

Many years ago when I was young and good looking if you believe that,   I worked at McDonald's our local hamburger joint. Everybody wanted to turn over the burgers on the grill or serve customers at the counter. It was fun to operate the cash register. No body wanted to wash dishes or empty the garbage cans.

Whenever I saw garbage cans overflow it reflected poor management. In addition workers liked to bully their peers or manipulate the boss and it showed. 

It doesn't work that way in baseball. Baseball is a team sport and all the players must do their best if they expect to win ball games. The manager must use his players according to their skills and talent. The win/lost record will tell the rest of the story. 

I like to think that 'teaching' goes along with 'leadership.' Both have the capability of influencing people. When I was in Bible school we were assigned to read Jesus, The Master Teacher. It was a good story about the life of Jesus.

Jesus came to earth at Christmas time with one goal in mine. The goal was to teach people about their sinful nature and encourage them to change their way of life. (John 3:16). 

So you are a leader. Whether you admit it or not and your actions will influence other people. Use them wisely. More and surprising opportunities await you just around the corner.
