So many individuals ascend to positions of leadership, yet there are many motivations that propel these people to wanting to become leaders, that it is often challenging to create those that really lead.
Every person who has ever made a meaningful difference in this sort of position does so because he commences his service with a well known and considered REASON that he wants to lead, and believes that he is the right person to do so! Unless you begin with this inner and objective consideration and understanding, you will be conflicted between the popular and needed approaches and actions to take, or the eventual direction that you hope to take your organization.

Great leadership is challenging because there is no one way to get things done, but ratherrequires a combination of being rational and realistic, while also focusing on being truly responsive to needs and issues that need addressing.
Being a leader means accepting a wide number of responsibilities, consistently considering relevance, and reaching out to constituents in a manner that fully explains the underlying rationale.

Never merely meet, but strive to exceed expectations.
The only way a real leader earns respect is when he enriches the experience of those he serves and leads.

Are you able to merge your truly positive attitude with the highest degree of actual aptitude, so that you can accomplish things that others merely talk about? What are you willing and able to do so that those items that you attempt will lead to the creation and implementation of a significant, essential, action - oriented agenda? 4.
Can you identify, understand, know and then use your strengths to enhance your performance? Are you ideas sane and sensible, while focusing on enhancing the sustainability of your organization? Will you always strive to do and be the best you can be? 5.
It is not enough to merely possess or express your opinions, even though it is incumbent upon a true leader to do so! Rather, one often needs to understand and realize a variety of options and alternatives, while keeping his eye on the target, or long term goals.
Doing this often requires someone who is willing to be a groundbreaker in the sense that he uses his originality to attract, relate and motivate followers and supporters.

Those with quality REASONS for wanting to lead are the ones that realize that it is consistently about identifying and acting proactively to pursue and address needs.
Those with the right stuff are those that focus on his constituents and the organization he serves, rather than putting himself first! If you don't have a REASON, how good a leader can you ever be? Before you decide to do so, consider why you want to do so.
