Aspire To Transform Yourself

So many leaders today look to the next rung of people above them as the ones who are responsible for their development. They expect their boss or their pastor or their supervisor to hand development down to them. This, however, is a false notion. You and you alone are primarily responsible for your development as a leader.

Extraordinary leaders hold themselves accountable for constantly upgrading their competencies, strengthening their gifts, growing in their spiritual walk, and maturing their relationships.

To become a truely extraordinary leader you must have a desire, a passion, and an aspiration to do all that it takes to be one.

Chose to be an extraordinary leader today by being intensely focused on growing spiritually and talking with the Lord on a daily basis. Be the leader God intends you to be!

You are right, but I would like to add that everybody needs a mentor. While it is true that my growth is my responsibility, I also need to select mentors and role models who will challenge, guide, inspire and partner with me as I become the person God means me to be.
