LEADITUDE.

When it comes to having an effective relationship skill between you and other people (be it your spouse, your co-worker, friends and colleagues), a lot has to do with your attitude and disposition. I dare to say that it is impossible for you to get the best out of any relationship if the people involved aren’t keeping a very good attitude and displaying a teachable spirit, because the truth is your perceptions about life will always clash at one point or another. What then acts as a lubricant to the friction is the right attitude.
I love to describe Attitude as a person’s disposition, action and reaction to life, and without the right qualities a leader cannot function perfectly in a relationship. If he is not careful, he’ll discover that people usually leave him (or desert him) and he’ll just be taking a stroll – like John Maxwell called it.
Some of the attitudes a leader needs to develop are:
• The delete-it attitude – this simply means not holding people’s offences in your heart. You need to realize that once you get offended by someone, you begin to exude negativity towards that person, which could cost the relationship so much.
• The caring arms – when you show that you can go the extra mile for people, they will always be willing to follow and respect you.
• Advance forgiveness – try forgiving people before they offend you [and make sure you really do]. These attitudes marvels people and will always bring them back to you refined specie.
• The giving attitude – a leader must always be ready to give himself to people. It’s a medium by which you show how much you care.
Finally, you need to understand that LEADERSHIP is all about making your problems other people’s by making other people’s problems yours. (note that a hundred people can solve a leader’s problem, but you are to provide solutions to the hundred… and more people)
This is what I call LEADITTUDE
