Before you take a leadership role...

Before people take on leadership roles, they should do an honest assessment and ask 2 questions of themselves:

1. What is the purpose of my leadership? If you answer power, prestige, power, and money you risk losing your purpose and feeling fulfilled! There is nothing wrong with external gratification as long as they are combined with a deeper desire to serve something greater than yourself.

2. What motivates me to lead?

Unfortunately, when you want a leadership role to gain power over others...you look to others for satisfaction and acknowledgment of your status.

If you are having a difficult time staying grounded...look at your external gratification and take an assessment. Have you lost the ability to lead for your own inner satisfaction? Are you looking for supporter to tell you what you want to hear? or Are you honestly trying to make a difference in the world...
