Leadership: Whether to lead or follow is just a choice

Everybody Who chooses Can Be a Leader

Many times, I am disappointed at the sight of people shying away from leadership positions. It is even worse when Kenyans associate leadership with only politicians some of whom are in the positions by default. Leadership shy Kenyans are oblivious of the fact that there is business leadership, church leadership, Social group leadership, organizational leadership and many more. No wonder there are many junior employees in offices that hold top leadership positions in Churches and elsewhere.

Luckily, all types of leadership follow one simple concept – The power of influence – period. The challenge is what power you possess which makes you stand out as a potential leader, capable of influencing others to do as you wish. It does not matter whether you force them or make them comply willingly. Needless to venture into the intricate details, you can start becoming a leader today. Are you charismatic? Do you have any expertise which people recognize and eventually attracts them to you? Keep thinking about the others. Work on becoming the best using whatever power of influence that you are endowed with. You will certainly end up somewhere.
