The ability to step out and do something that no one his doing or that no one has done is one great attribute of turnaround leaders. Leadership is about taking important step when no one else is willing to do so. Every leader that left a mark in the sand of time at one point or the other stepped out to do what they needed to do.

If we will come into sincere and effective leadership we must commit ourselves to the emergence of one. True leadership is borne out of deliberate effort and commitment of a people to right values from a heart willing to serve and a hand equipped to deliver results. Always keep in mind; true leadership is not a product of chance.<br />
<br />
<br />
Steps in Becoming a True Leader<br />
<br />
1. Develop a leaders mind<br />
<br />
2. Develop a leader’s attitude<br />
<br />
3. Develop and establish right values<br />
<br />
4. Develop your leadership skills<br />
<br />
5. Begin to take up responsibility<br />
<br />
6. Focus on serving and not reward<br />
<br />
Any leader that is driven by reward rather than service will fail the people he is called to serve.<br />
<br />
Leadership is more about your sacrifice than reward<br />
<br />
If you are willing to serve (even if you are not rewarded) then you are on your way to becoming the leader who will make a difference.<br />
