Lead (Jan. 16)

There are numerous books on the market today aimed at leadership and how one can become a better leader. Most of these books will make the claim that there are certain people that are just born with an inate ability to lead, or the aparent ability to lead. Many of the examples we have from the present age are examples that seem to crumble over time and while they lead for a while there is nothing lasting but a mention of their name in a book on a shelf. When you look back at leaders of the past there is a very interesting phenomenon. Leaders from the past who seem to have been able to do something greater than one individual did not lead to impress but lead to serve. It was not about themselves but about the greater good.
