John.C.Maxwell


So I haven’t told you about my varsity plans they are a bit big but I’m ambitious. I have been planning on joining my varsity SRC (Student Representative Council) it will be hard because I will have to get myself out there but that’s not what I will be talking about I started reading these leadership books my dad has the first one is DEVELOPING THE LEADER WITHIN YOU it‘s by John C. Maxwell  it talks about what people has misinterpreted as leadership this is something he wrote

“A real leader is more than having authority; it is more than having the technical training and following the proper procedures. Real leadership  is being the person others will gladly and confidently follow. A real leader knows the difference between being the boss and being a leader, as illustrated in the following:

·         The boss drives his workers; the leader coaches them.

·         The boss depends on authority; the leader on goodwill.

·         The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm.

·         The boss says ‘I’; the leader says ‘we’.

·         The boss knows how its done; the leader shows how

·         The boss says ‘go’; the leader says ‘lets go’                        

 

I hope that three books down I will know how to tackle leadership but if I was a true leader a whole lot of you who are reading would have subscribed LOL I hope playing the insecure card will help me.

P.S  you guys are about to watch me grow.
