The Inner Secrets Of Leadership: Return And Rebuild

On the list of inner secrets of leadership is that they understand to return and rebuild

. Occasionally, you might have to go back again to all individuals folks that laughed at you, to people who criticized you and to those that said you would never make it. Yes, it is tough, but leadership demands us being generous in heart.

I did this. I went back again to people who discouraged me and to those that laughed at me. I told them, "I made it, I have achieved my goals, and now I want to help you do the same." There is a time to leave them behind. When your destiny is exploding in your heart, you've to walk away from the negative voices. As a responsible leader, you've to ignore those who would tell you to abort.

True leaders will return to those same people to offer them a chance. This is a huge test. It requires LOVE and FORGIVENESS. You see, real leaders aren't selfish. They are not in it for number one. They have a vision, commitment, heart and love that is larger than themselves. Otherwise, they wouldn't be leaders.

So, look around at those who are holding you down. You might have to walk away from them - mentally and emotionally - so that you can become the leader than God intended you to be. That's only for a season. True leaders are always ready and eager to forgive and share. Those people folks who hold you back again, who criticize, and who laugh at you aren't evil folks. They're within the dark. They can't see.

But, if you're a leader, you've a candle! Take that candle back again to them. Return to them. Let them have the benefit of your light.

It's not enough to just return; you have to rebuild. I quote the Bible because it is one of the world's greatest repositories of wisdom and life. And, the Bible says a great deal about rebuilding. For example, Isaiah 61:4 gives a beautiful description of true leaders: They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.

Think of that! One of the things that mark true leaders is that they rebuild and restore what has been destroyed.
