Not a position, an actionAn excerpt from the Ignited Pennings article, My Top Tips for Leadership By Victoria Julieann ~ ~ ~ My second point today is, Remember that leadership is an action of servanthood, not a 'throne' position.I have been in positions where I was on a team with a leader who either didn't care about their members, did the bare minimum of the work, or intimidated the group into following them just because they held the 'seat'. It was during those times where I've watched and observed groups crumble and fall apart – all from a lack of action from the leader. People aren't going to follow you just because someone has appointed you leader of something – or worse – you are self-appointed. There is nothing wrong with being a self-appointed leader or having been appointed by someone else, but in those cases, it is more important than ever to show that you are a leader by taking actions to serve and further your team's cause, instead of just shouting in everyone's faces that you are in charge. You can also be a leader without holding the actual 'position' per se. How? By stepping up and serving others – helping to guide them to reach their full potential and achieve the group's goals. A true leader is not one who holds the position, but the one who takes the action. Title is not nearly as important as the action. You can eventually receive the title if you show that you can be a good leader in your group, but it's not necessary – you may even be leading your group more than the actual 'leader' if you are taking action by serving. Leadership = action. Leadership = action. Oops, I repeated myself. Well, I can't emphasize this enough anyway, so, Leadership = action. Leadership ≠ title. Want to read the full article?
