THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP and THE LEADERSHIP'S SPIRIT - PART 1

 THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP and THE LEADERSHIP SPIRIT - PART 1

I will like to start this week's article with the analogy of a seed. When you look at a seed, what do you see? If one can look well, one will be able to see a tree in that seed. You will wonder how possible this is. It's jus figuratively. Every seed has a potential tree in it. In any orange seed, there is an orange tree ready to germinate. A seed does not just grow when you see the tree it produces, but as a seed itself, it will become a tree if right environment is in place. This process of becoming is what exposes the real identity of the seed. 

The concept above is much related to our topic this week. Inherent in every man is the spirit of leadership but we must become leaders for this real identity to be exposed. This means if you have not discovered your real identity, you are not becoming a leader; also if you are not a leader, you cannot discover your real identity. It is paripassu.This identity is what is termed the spirit of Leadership. 

Therefore, there is a difference between the spirit of Leadership and a Leadership spirit. The leadership spirit was planted into man from the beginning. It is dwelling in every man, that was why God gave us the instruction to dominate. To dominate means to rule the earth, not over any human being but over the resources of the Earth. The act of becoming a leader is what is now termed the spirit of Leadership . In this series, we will be dealing with what makes a man a leader.To get this, we must understand that God created every living things differently but the manner of growth is the same if we look closely. Let's take for an instance; every living thing needs food to grow; without us eating, certain nutrients necessary for our development are not gotten hence, malnourishment. The same goes for the seed of leadership. It has to be nourished to make a tree of it. To know how a seed become a tree wil give us a clue on how an ordinary man (NB: with the potentials already put in by God) can become a leader.

How does a seed become a Tree?

1. Planting

2. Environmental condition

3. Fruiting

✓The planting or placement is the soil;  i.e. where every seed is planted. As a man, where are you planted? 

✓The Environmental condition has to do with every other thing that makes living possible or the soil habitable. Factors like the sunlight, rain etc. As a man, what really affects your area of location which is our Environmental condition?

✓The fruit is the beginning of a new life of every tree. The proof of a tree is the fruit it produces. It is the launching phase of the tree to its world.  As a man have you discovered the beginning of your life?

 

The above questions are what I will like us to answer in our comment section box so we can move to the next session.
