THE BOLDNESS OF A LEADER
THE BOLDNESS OF A LEADER.
I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.
Alexander the Great.
In life, it really, really matters who you follow. It matters who leads you. Followers are a reflection of who they tenaciously and faithfully follow.
John C. Maxwell said " leadership is influence". Through his attitude, you can easily tell who a man is following or who is his mentor. It is that powerful. That is why an army of sheep led by a lion will be very dangerous. Such an army will be made up of flesh eating, blood drinking and bone cracking sheep, compared to the grass digesting lions. With time you become like who you harken to.
In football for example the team with the best players don't always win the tournament. Most times, It is the team that is in harmony with the manager that wins.
How do you explain this? No member of the entire French FIFA world cup winning team in Russia was among the three last nominees for the FIFA best player of the year award. In fact the award went to the captain of the loosing team in the final. They may not have Christiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi
, yet they won because they played according to the instructions of their manager who by the way was a former world cup winning captain.
Whoever is leading you is very crucial to your destiny.
Always remember this who you follow as a leader determines your achievement.
