Leadership is Earned

Greetings Pattern Realm, 
 A lot of the wisdom in this discourse is wisdom derived from lessons I received from my mother. In my audio podcast and on YouTube, I have started a miniseries within my series Pattern Enterprise known as "Lessons from Mama." This Christmas I had a chance to sit down and have a lovely discussion with Mama about how I wanted to expand my role with Odessa Toastmasters. Even though Mama is in poor health, her words ring true through all the years. "Honey, if you're gonna be a leader, make sure you are wise and do it for the right reasons." Yes that's right. Leadership is earned. I hope in the annals of history that people after I'm gone can look back and say that I was a great leader, but I also agree with Mama. Keep it real, and keep it humble.. I started wanting to be a leader in elementary school, but especially in junior high my grandfather and mother took over in teaching me about leadership. Mama made sure that I know was that leadership was not about this reactive power kick of "Listen to me or else!" Enough of that is going on in political circles these days. In Christ, Jimmy Hendrick EYP
