My Leadership Perspective

I was requested by Bro. Ruben Licera to make a talk about on Leadership for the Christian Youth Meeting in the Locale of Alaska.

I couldn't afford to neglect the opportunity to share my ideas to my brethren in faith. Because I believe the more I share my ideas learned the more I would internalize and live it

During the meeting, I told them that all of us are leaders at the different arena of life. Like for instance, if you have a younger sister or brother, you are then a leader to them, a model to follow. But a good leader in an organization is a different thing in relation to the type of responsibility.

Every leader must be a good follower. No leader or no one is not a follower. All of us live as a follower and a leader. For example in a situation you have younger brother/sister and you set to be a leader to them at the same time a follower to your parents.

In organization most oftenly a leader subordinates will look at you being a good follower to others. In church aspect being a good follower to God commandments.

Being a leader is not an overnight task its a journey. You must equipped with good characters. Above all ingredients for good leadership, the one I considered most is the proactivity attitude of a certain leader.

Because proactivity is taking a good initiative of what should be best attitutde that conforms to values or principles in life.

I stressed out also the difference between a proactive and reactive people. Proactive people know that in a stimulus and response and in between there's a little gap - your freedom to choose what kind of response based on your values.

The best determinants in identifying a proactive and reactive person is true their language. Proactive people tend to be optimistic or positive in their language while reactive people always look at barriers or negative side.

Proactive people focus on opportunities while reactive people focus on obstacles.

Thank you!
