Introduction

Leaders are born; leadership skills are developed.

“True greatness and true leadership are not achieved by reducing men to one’s service, but in giving oneself in service to them” … Dr. Myles Munroe

Leadership is generally taught by providing guidelines, principles, rules and resources to draw from when needed. Our leadership development is done in somewhat of an opposing perspective. Leadership cannot be taught; it can only be learned. Leaders either create or respond to situations. It is important that leaders learn their intuitive capabilities and how to behave by using those basic skills. Leaders must be aware and identify both proactive and reactive opportunity. 

Leadership is formed from an individual’s inherent nature, designed through character and then is grown and developed using those attributes as their foundation. Our choices define our character and drive our leadership. Our passion, persistence and disciplines determine where and when our leadership occurs. 

Strong leaders understand and accept all responsibility that accompanies their role as a leader. It is important to understand leadership expectations from an individual, corporate and cultural perspective. 

Many who serve as leaders have obtained leadership authority yet lack refined interpersonal skills. This limits their potential and effectiveness as leaders; as well as limiting the potential and effectiveness of those they lead. Our approach to leadership is to recognize and affirm your present leadership ability and to discover and learn additional attributes that will enhance your effectiveness.
