“Put one foot in front of the other and soon you’ll be walking across the floor…You will never get where you’re going if you never get up on your feet.”
Do you remember these lyrics from the popular Christmas animated show? It’s such a simple song that we believed in as children but as we get older this simple act sometimes seems insurmountable.
So many of us are given the opportunity to lead and we don’t believe we are ready. I guess we’re waiting for the “magic” date on the calendar that says “Leadership Day.” Unfortunately, that magical day never comes when you continue to look for the magic instead of following your passion.
The call to leadership is often presented when others begin to notice your skills, talents and abilities. But it is also presented when people recognize your passion.
Leadership does not have to be a daunting endeavor. Once you get started, your skills will begin to develop over time. All you need to do is take the first step and accept your call to leadership!
