WHAT is LEADERSHIP?

According to the dictionary, leadership is the office or position of a leader; guidance. It is synonymous to precedence, the act or right preceding, priority in place, time, or rank. Adolf Hitler may killed hundred-thousands of Jews but he was a good leader. We all do have different perspectives. Some may looked at Hitler as an evil man who slaughtered a lot people and who desired for fame and power. If we changed our perspective and looked at Hitler as a good leader, you’ll appreciate his effort. He was a good leader, intelligent and respected. He made firm decisions; his decisions had its reason. He didn’t decide for no reason or without basis. Jesus Christ was a good leader too. He was a prophet, a priest, and a preacher. He leads according to right and just. He was not selfish unlike Hitler. He knows what is best for us. A good leader is willing to suffer for his/her followers. Like what Jesus Christ did, he suffered and died on the cross just to free us from our sins. Leadership is all about perspectives. For example, roses; Roses have thorns or thorns have roses…I depends on how you looked at it. you looked at every opportunity a problem or every problem, an opportunity—to grab.
