Step Up as a Leader
- by Gunther Allen
(... cont. from first page )
Some may argue that in the past leaders were always born, but in modern societies leaders can be elected, appointed or rise to office because they have displayed certain qualities. There are also many people who are placed into positions where they are required to lead. Like in Shakespeare’s play, they have “greatness thrust upon them”. These people sometimes lack the qualities necessary in assuming a leadership role at first, but develop the ability and the aptitude to acquire the skills needed to become a leader.
Some of the qualities a leader must posses:
- vision
- strength
- dominant
- extrovert personality
- charismatic
- inspiring
- motivating
- capability to galvanize others into action
- mastery of persuading and convincing others to follow their way
Not all the qualities that leaders posses like charisma and personality are innate; many can be learned and instilled in us as we grow up. Integrity, character, strong mindedness and the will to command respect are definitely traits that can be developed as we start assuming a leadership role.
Budding leaders may be reluctant and first and just need to take a few steps to gain confidence in their leadership skills. Everyday life offers us countless situations where leaders are needed to help shape a community and the qualities needed are as diverse and myriad as life itself. The external world is always demanding change and improvement. A leader has to always be a pulse ahead of everyone else.
To lead you have to be ready with information and practices that can help guide and problem solve daily tasks. The spark of a leader is all that is needed to ignite essential ideas to uplift and revitalize a team, organization, group of employees, practice, community, or any group of people who will respond to strong leadership abilities. Your practice and the chiropractic profession are looking for leaders who will step up to the plate to lead. It is time for the ordinary people to become extra-ordinary and step up as leaders!
