LEADERSHIP
Leadership –it’s like a tonic.
It could be considered one of the vital elements that was ever created in humankind. Its value cannot be overstated. When you are around it in its purest form it’s one of the most powerful forces in nature.
Leadership can foster a spirit in people which builds a culture in which people actually thrive personally and thus crave being part of the mission. They crave being a part of the team. The thing about leadership is that when you experience it you find yourself within an atmosphere that knows no limits nor acknowledges boundaries seen by others. Those that experience great leadership digest challenges like a sought after meal. And the exuberance that is felt under great leadership is truly a pure joy that is tough to describe. When you experience great leadership in sports or in your professional career or in a social setting, you hold those memories dear. For you were part of a club that will always hold a special place in your heart.
Leadership is not to be confused with management. Management is a task and requires a certain skill. It is somewhat soulless. Leadership, I would submit, is more of an art first and and a skill and makeup.
