The goal of a leader is to contribute to the improvement and growth of the organization he leads. If your knowledge and attitude rather impedes the growth of the organization you lead, you are a misleader.

As a co-operate leader, ensure that the organization you lead does not remain as it was when you were given the mandate to lead it. Make it better than it was. Improve and increase; don’t demote and destroy what was rather working already.

Leadership is about action, never about position. While you occupy the position try to find an opportunity to make a change. A person who would not make a positive change is not fit to lead. If what the group you lead achieved last year is what it maintained this year, where are your skills?

To change the world, decide to change yourself first. If you change, your family is changing. If your family changes, your community is changing. If your community changes, your nation is changing. If your nation changes, your continent is changing. If your continent changes, the world have changed. Look to yourself first.

Remember, the real work depends on you. “Be the change you wish to see in the world”, said Mahatma Gandhi. I believe when you begin to be the change, everyone will want to learn from you about how you are doing it. There and then, you teach them to know and you are called a leader.
