On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Aimee Mosco, Kristin Johnson and Martin Leifeld to talk about the topic of leadership in action, especially with regard to the work they all do in the World Game-Changers organisation as well as in their personal lives.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Every human being is a leader, you can’t help but lead, even if you lead people in the wrong direction. We all have the gift of influence and by exercising our personalities and talents, whether we’re aware of it or not, provides leadership, direction, or presents choices to people. What do we do with it?
There are certainly lots of people leading the world in wrong, mixed or confusing directions today and there’s never been more of a need for extraordinary leaders that lead virtuously as servant leaders. Servant leadership puts the primary on developing people and accomplishing goals together as opposed to old school, autocratic leadership, leading with an iron fist, it’s a different model that empowers people to lead as you serve an organisation or a mission and so on.
We are all leaders in our own way. We are leaders within our families, places of work, communities, local sports team, church, what have you. There are all kinds of leadership, not just being elected to office or who raises enough money, sometimes the person with the most influence is not the person with the biggest title or loudest voice, sometimes they’re someone you wouldn’t expect. They are the people that people look to and trust. When people trust someone that’s everything. Real leadership is about trusting yourself, which is a very hard thing to do.
Leadership is so important because we thrive when we’re in a structured environment. That’s not to say that we need to map out every single detail before we step forward because we’re creative beings. But, we feel more comfortable with some sort of structure or container within which to operate. And there’s a different between that autocratic structure where you can’t think for yourself and challenging the status quo is not welcome, we talking about a space for people to grow because real leaders aren’t threatened when people grow.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Leadership starts with a commitment to accept that you’re a leader or that you can influence the world for the better and then to develop yourself so that you can have virtuous or great impact.’
‘There are degrees of leadership; responsible and mindless and all of us are really looking to develop ourselves. To become a responsible leader, it requires that you expand your level of awareness.’
‘To trust ourselves and more importantly to trust other people is a huge leap, it’s one of the most simple and complex things that we’ll ever do.’
‘Great leaders want their people to grow because that’s good for everyone. You can always tell someone is really insecure in their power because they are threatened by the slightest dissention.’
