The Leader with no title

Leadership entails service, a leader is someone who is in the capacity to serve others, leadership entails influence. You can't claim to be a leader and yet all those around you will not feel your impact. Leadership entails sacrifice, sacrifice is the true test of a Leader, how much of your time, effort and resources are you willing to sacrifice so as to render a service to those around you or to humanity? Mother Theresa is a great leader I love so much, she lived a selfless life of service to the poor and less privileged, she will be long remembered by the lives she has touched one way or the other. Same goes to Martin Luther King, he lost His life to fight against racial discrimination what a Leader, same goes to Nelson Mandela who was imprisoned for 27years for a good course, if he had not sacrificed those 27 years in prison, probably South Africa will still be under the whims of apartheid. Leaders are extraordinary people with the mindset of servant hood and humanitarianism.
This brings us to the last phase, leadership entails legacy, if you don't establish a lasting legacy anywhere you are then you are not yet ready for leadership. Anywhere you are, try to do something exceptional, serve others around you and you will be long remembered after you have gone. After all it is easy to create a first impression but difficult to create a lasting impression in people. Abraham Lincoln once said ; " whatever you are, be a good one" so if you are favoured to be a leader, be a good one for good leaders are not defined by their titles but by what they have done that have effected change as well as created solution.
