Be a Leader, Not a Follower: The Power of Taking Charge
Are you tired of always being told what to do? Are you ready to break free from the shackles of conformity and blaze your own trail? Well then Roar! it’s time for you to be a leader not a follower!
Why Being a Leader is Better Than Being a Follower
Let’s face it, being just another sheep in the herd can get pretty boring. Sure, there may be safety in numbers but where’s the excitement? Where’s the adventure?
Being a leader means that you get to call the shots. You get to set your own course and chart your own destiny. Want to climb Mount Everest or sail across the Atlantic Ocean in search of buried treasure? Go for it! It’s up to you.
And let’s not forget about all those amazing perks that come with being at the top – fame, glory and perhaps most importantly..kudos (that’s right I said kudos).
So why settle for following someone else when you could lead your pack into uncharted territories?
How To Start Your Path Towards Leadership
If taking charge sounds like something right up your alley then congratulations my friend- we’re here with plenty of cheers (hip hip hoorays) because becoming an effective†leader doesn’t have to be difficult.
Here are some tips on how you too can start leading like Tom Brady:
- Communication is key: One thing that separates good leaders from great ones is their abilityto communicate effectively, so don’t hold back.
- Take Responsibility:
When things go awry, don’t finger point or play blame games. A true leader acknowledges any missteps made under their watchand takes corrective action. - Be Proactive:
Don’t wait around for opportunities; make them happen by staying ahead of curve rather than waiting till last minute. - Have Vision:
Great leaders innately know how to stay ahead of trending curves by having concrete foresight into what’s going on around them. Develop and stick to goals that you have set for yourself and/or your team.
The above points are just a starting point but they should give some food for thought about how one can start their path towards leadership (it’s an earned privilege, not a given right).
The Perks of Being at the Top
Leadership has so many perks, I tell ya! Here are some examples if you need convincing:
Pros | |
---|---|
1 | Recognition is like sugar – everybody wants it |
2 | You will develop confidence in yourself |
3 | Room for creativity opens up |
4 | Feeling accomplished knowing that all those whom followed can sit back & relax |
Yes sir-ree-bob this list could go on and on but let’s focus here because no one likes reading a massive (yet groovy) table!
But What If It All Goes Wrong?
Good question – as history would suggest nothing is absolutely certain, which means failures do happen from time to time even amongst the greatest leaders known(thanks Cptn Obvious) That said, effectiveleaders remain undaunted by setbacks because these individuals see obstacles as challenges rather than deterrents.
As legendary basketball coach John Wooden once said:
“Failure isn’t fatal, but failure to change might be”
In other words: dust off your shoulder, learn from mistakes made, grow stronger both mentally/emotionally ,and TCOB(Take Care Of Business).
Being able to correctly identify where things went wrong allows us opportunities to pivot toward success in future once identifying what did or didn’t work originally. Every misstep serves as valuable lesson learned providing wisdom priceless over repeated trials or tribulations.
