You are a leader ( Wafrica Guest Post )

I don’t think there are some specific kind of people mapped out for leadership. Leadership is a compulsory duty for everyone one earth. So, I believe that everybody is a leader, the difference is the position you exercise your leadership duty.

Let’s take family for instance. A family of five (5), where you have father, mother, first child, second child and third child. The father has it as his responsibility to take care of his wife(mother) and the children. Mother has it as her responsibility to take care of her husband(father) and her children. First child has it as his/her responsibility to take care of his/her parent and his/her younger ones. Same to the second child. The third child has it as his/her responsibility to take care of his/her parent as well as his/her senior ones.

So each department, from father, mother down to third child department, has a method and plan for handling their department. The leader of each department discipline his/herself focusing to achieve the objective of that department.
The leader also directs his followers to move in a specified direction. In any point in time someone somewhere is inspiring somebody. Mind you that nobody is a monopoly of knowledge. That means there will be a time when you lead while others follow.

The question is how and where do you lead others to? A leader rules, guides, motivates or inspires others. You cannot be a leader and a follower in the same department at the same time.

As a leader, you are in complete control and should be willing to step forward to take the responsibility and command of the situation. It is assumed that a leader knows it all (though a good leader will always seek the advice of his followers). A leaders must live to the expectation of his/her followers.

Followers hunger for positive outcome of which a leader must provide. The positive outcome must be the vision of a leader based on the aim of that department. Whatever vision you might have in life, you need to work with others to achieve it. Therefore, do not disobey just because you are not responsible, rather obey just because you are a leader. The people you disobey today might be your follower when you are in charge.

Every department of life has rule of which it is a must for members to obey. The best standard for a leader is the Golden rule, ‘’do unto other as you would have them do unto you’’.
