Part 1: Significance
After reading part 1 of "A Leader's Legacy", I started to think about all the positive leaders who have affected my life. One common aspect jumped out at me: "passionate leaders are willing to suffer." For example, when thinking of the president of a sorority, you would hope that they are a passionate leader. I know in my organization they are not allowed to vote in elections, which I see as a way they must suffer in order to be effective. Not only does the president sacrifice their vote, they also sacrifice their time, effort, and general life to make sure that the chapter is running smoothly and efficiently. If this means they must answer a call from a sister at 2am, she will so, because sacrifice is the key to success.
I think that the sooner we, as individuals, accept that we are never going to be "perfect" at leading others, the faster we will realize that each one of us is capable of amazing things, and we just have to learn to utilize out individual abilities. What are you passionate about? Find out, and let that guide you. " We'll all be remembered for something. The question is, what?"
