FUNCTIONALITY OF A LEADER --- Part 2

A Leader Conviction;- A leader conviction is always ignited in his heart when he discovered his natural gift. A leader must be totally convinced that he/she exist for a worthy reason and he/she is able to accomplish what they were born to do. A leader conviction gives him a good sense of direction in life. It also helps to protect a leader action and give it a meaning. Convictions are vital instruments to the building of a solid character. It leads any genuine leader to become very dedicated to specific principles by which he pledge to live as he performs his God given purpose. When a leader lacks strong convictions, followership is never attained. If a leader keeps manipulating his believe system in order to be accepted and to please people, such a person is not qualified to be a leader.

A Leader Vision;- A vision can also be define as seeing your natural purpose and gifting so clearly in your mind’s eye that it is already a reality to you. The importance of a leader’s conviction enables him to build a strong personal vision, and then he begins to map-out a definite way in which he plans to carry-out his contribution to his future generation. A leader vision should influence his entire life and priorities.

When we begin seeing our dreams and realizing how our gift can be contributed to the world, we will begin to map-out a clear vision for our lives and practical steps in accomplishing our life’s inherent purpose.

A Leader’s Passion;- Passion provides the internal motivation for a leader to diligently carry out his purpose. Apparently, it is a leader sense of importance that enables him to guide his passion from becoming worse and transforming into a hunger for power. For this reason, a leader passion can be described as a desire stronger than death.

There are numerous evidence of leaders that posses such kind of qualities in their lives. Mahatma Gandhi won an excellent political victory over British Empire, leading India free from their colonial master. His vision of equality and justice for the India people and a strong conviction about peaceful protest. He was imprisoned for no just cause and he was willing to die for his vision. His imprisonment and strong passion for his people stirred up thousands of millions of people and that brought about sweeping change.
