The Objective of Leadership

Our society makes leadership something an average person can't reach. We undermine our own accomplishments every day like waking up, getting our work done, and being present in life. Our society normalizes our daily achievements, thus it's hard to get to the level of being a leader. People should be proud of going to work and getting everything done and even if they didn't do what had to be done that day they should be proud of waking up and doing what they could. We scrutinize ourselves, and everything we do is put under a microscope where we observe every detail and focus on what we did wrong. This was Drew Dudley's idea of how society categorizes leadership.

He further explains how we could change our perspective on leadership and that it could be viewed as evolving someone's life and changing them to be the best they could be. The simplest actions can make you as great as a leader. He tells the story of how he changed a student's life without even knowing, that he made this girl not quit university, made her feel at home and he gave her the push to persevere through this difficult transition in her life. Now I want you to notice something look at how someone's most straightforward words or actions can affect an individual or how a lesson that someone gave you changes their life. Equally important is that the person that helped you by doing so should know, he never knew about how he changed this girl's life until she told him.

Lots of us have these moments when someone can say or do something that can change the way we think or the decision we take for the better. Making the person responsible aware of that is important thus you are giving them the power to say that they are a leader and that they lead you to a good path. Lots of us do good without knowing and we deserve to know thus we can know how great we actually are. Along with going against the scrutinies that you say to yourself every day and replacing them with positive words that will help you with believing in yourself.  I have never experienced this experience I don't think anyone has actually changed my life by saying something to me or they could have but they are very minor changes.

For example, I was talking to my mom about how I was annoyed that I couldn't go out because my father had said no and she said that if you don't get something, that you want, then it was never going to benefit you so don't be sad when you don't go out or when you don't get what you want since it was never going to make you happy or benefit you in the first place, see it as a good thing that god made that bad thing go away. This made my view on life change a lot and most of the time when I don't get something that I wanted I always go back to that moment and remember that doing what I thought I wanted was going to hurt me in one way or another. There was also another time when I really wanted to go out with my friends and my dad said no but I kept nagging him and telling him that I wanted to go and it turned into an hour long argument but I went in the end.

That day was the worst day ever, that day I broke my phone because I fell off of a golf cart with my friends and I scabbed my knee and elbow, I have the scars to this day. The memory makes me and my freinds laugh alot. This made me think though that this experince was a lesson that taught me that I should always just listen to what my parents tell me and how when there are things that are stopping me from getting this thing that I want I should probably look at these as signs before I go do it. That doesn't mean you should chase your wants but chase them wisely. Therefore you should tell the person that helped you, just like when my mom gave me a peice of advice that changed my prespective on situations to the better, she desevred to know her positive impact on me and the same for people who positively impact you.
