If a leader is able to develop genuine love for the people he leads, it becomes even easier to take only those actions that benefit the people every time. This will ultimately help him or her succeed and leave a lasting legacy. The wonderful thing is that the self-sacrifice required of leaders, if embraced and sustained, will not only yield great results but broaden the leader’s humanity, perspectives, and acceptance among the people. Leadership can lead you into some lonely places where you may have to stand on your own. You may avoid taking such a stand if pride and ego are the only things at stake, but once it involves principles or the interests of your people, do it nevertheless. Hopefully time will show that you were only being a changemaker. Even if it does not, you still get to have and keep a clear conscience. Leadership is therefore the means to a lot of potentially awesome ends, but it is not an end in itself. It gives you a platform to do good and effect change. I am determined to give it my best now and always.
