How can your weak areas

How can your weak areas affect the ways other peopleperceive you?

If a leader lacks conviction, commitment, integrity,
consistency, curiosity, loving-kindness, drive or
determination, credibility or mercy, that leader will most
certainly be seen as weak, domineering, wishy-washy, evil,
mean-spirited, or conceited,... well, I think you get the
idea.

Leaders must, in general, present a public image that is
full of positive attributes or admirable worthiness. Of
course, all human beings harbor doubts, act with
compromised values, and are held captive by other dark
thoughts or feelings.

So what is a leader to do?

The successful leader holds on and remains faithful to a
strongly held belief system that advocates a mission of
service - leaders make themselves useful in varying ways.
Typically, they can serve:
=> as a solution,
=> as the facilitator who empowers people,
=> the specifc needs of some group,
=> a greater good,
=> a higher power or purpose.

Why Use a Strategy of Service?

Strategies help you to define your approach, position or
direction. Your leadership strategy should reflect the tone
of your intention. In other words, your strategy should act
as a guideline for your leadership style, role, behavior,
agenda or patterns of work.

We know that great leaders have always demonstrated a
strong commitment to serving others. In fact all enduring
acts of leadership have been based on a service philosophy
- witness the impact of Abraham Lincoln, Marie Curie,
Nelson Mandela and so many others.

Will you strive towards 'greatness'? Will you rise to the
challenge to be 'the servant of all'? Will you transform
your vain weaknesses into proud displays of humble service?
