THE CONVICTION OF A TRUE LEADER


Once a leader discovers his personal gifting and leadership, it ignites conviction in his heart. In the process of leadership development, conviction has a twofold connotation. The first sense of the word is the certainty that you have something essential to contribute to humanity. It is a 100 – percent dedication to your purpose, which is stronger than any opposition you might encounter. As a leader, you must be convinced that you exist for a worthy reason and that you are able to accomplish what you were born to do.

    The second sense of the word refers to conviction (plural), or deep held belief on a commitment to one’s purpose. Conviction gives you a sense of direction in life. They guide your activities and give them meaning. Your conviction is instrument to your characters development. They lead you to become dedicated to specific principles, or a code of ethics by which you pledge to live as you carry out your purpose.

An individual can have the other qualities of leadership, such as influence or passion, without having conviction. But true leader manifest each of the qualities - and in ingredient we are sorely missing among leaders today is personal convictions. Having Convictions is what enable a person to remain stable and trustworthy, even in the midst of difficulties or temptations.

Frankly, if you don’t have solid convictions, you don’t deserve to have followers. If you keep vacillating in order to please people, if you keep sacrificing your belief system in order to be Accepted, you are not a leader you are a compromise. We need leaders who are willing to stand up to the disapproval of their own friend, and the public at large for the sake of something that is noble and true. Today, it is hard to find leaders who have such commitment to their convictions. To be a true and a great leader you must have a strong conviction that you will stand on it and your followers will also follow you because of that conviction.

LOOK IMPORTANT-IT HELPS YOU THINK IMPORTANT

Remember, your appearance “talks.” Be sure it says positive things about you. Never leave home without feeling certain you look like a kind of person you want to be. You can usually spot a wrong kids just by the way he looks. Sure it’s unfair, but it’s a fact: people today judge a young star by appearance. And once they’ve tabbled a boy, it’s tough to change their minds about him, their attitude toward him. Look at your boy. Look at him through his teacher’s eyes, your neighbor eyes, could the way he looks, the clothes he wears, give them the wrong impression? Are you making sure he looks right. Dresses right, everywhere he goes. It cost little to be neat. Dress right, it always pays. Remember: look important because it helps you think important and also it’s help you to think big. Use clothing as tool to lift your spirits, build confidence. An old psychology professor of mine used to give this advice to students on last-minute preparations for final examination: “Dress up fo...

God is about to visit you

Maybe you are tempted to give up on a dream. Things haven’t turned out the way you planned. It was going fine at first, but then you had some obstacles and you think, it just wasn’t meant to be. Here is what I have learned. The enemy doesn’t try to stop you from starting. He has seen a lot of people start. That doesn’t bother him. But when you have a made-up mind and keep pushing forward, doing the right thing, taking new ground, when he sees you getting closer, he will work overtime even he will employ a lot of people to join him try to keep you from finishing. Don’t get discouraged when you have setbacks, people come against you, or you get a negative medical report. That’s a sign that you are moving toward your finish line. When you have a setback always believe in yourself and keep focusing because the best is ahead of you. The enemy was fine when you got started. He was fine when you were far from finishing. No big deal to him. But when you began to make progress that got h...

Your blessing will come to you at the right time

  What God has planned for you is much bigger than anything you’ve ever dreamed. Of God were to show you right now where He’s taking you the favor, the promotion, the influence it would boggle your mind. You may think, as I did, that you’re not the most qualified. You don’t have the personality or the talent. That’s okay. it’s not going to happen just because of your talent, your personality, or your hard work. It’s going to happen because of the commanded blessing on your life. God’s anointing on you is more important than your talent, your education, or what family you come from. You could have less talent, but with the favor of God, you will go further than people who have much more talent. You may not see how this can happen. It doesn’t seem possible. But you don’t have to figure it out. If you’ll just keep being your best right where you are, getting to work on time, doing more than you have to, being a person of excellence and integrity, the right people will find you and the...
