The Leadership Principle of Potential

Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. And everyone is a leader – from the stay-at-home mom, to the elected government official, to the big brother/sister, to the CEO. Leadership ability determines a person’s level of effectiveness. The stronger the leadership, the greater the effectiveness. Your leadership ability – for better or worse – always determines your effectiveness and the potential impact you can have on those around you and your organization. A great example of this is the story of the McDonald’s Corporation. Success is within the reach of anyone. But personal success without leadership ability brings only limited effectiveness. A person’s impact is only a fraction of what it could be with good leadership. The higher you want to climb, the more you are going to need good leadership skills. The greater the impact you want to make, the greater your influence needs to be. Whatever you will accomplish in life is restricted by your ability to lead others. Wherever you look, you can find smart, talented, successful people who are able to go only so far because of the limitations of their leadership skills. Leadership ability is always the limit on personal and organizational effectiveness. If leadership is strong, the limit is high. That’s why in times of trouble, many organizations look for new leadership. When a country is experiencing hard times, it elects a new president. When a company is losing money, it hires a new CEO. When a church is floundering, it searches for a new senior pastor. When a sports team keeps losing, it looks for a new coach. The good news is that getting rid of the leader isn’t the only way. You can break through the limitations on yourself by improving your leadership skills. The laws of leadership are immutable, they never change. They have existed for thousands of years. They can be studied and learned. They can be mastered through application. Truth@Life can help you, regardless of your location.
