RESPONDING TO THE WORLD’S NEED AS THE CALL TO LEAD
In the current era, all the good and the bad things that have happened were all under the
influence of the leaders. From the definition of leadership, we can basically understand that it is the
ability of an individual or a group of people to influence, give vision, guide and coordinate a
particular group of people having a common goal by comprehensively and justly understanding the
interest of all members and striking a balance among the conflicting interests of the followers. With
this incite, it is significantly important to have realistic and generous leaders who are able to
positively guide the development and attainment of an organization goals and objectives rather than
their self-interest
With reference to my personality traits, I can considerably say that I hold the required
leadership skills. This includes but not limited to being flexible to changes, conflict management
skills, honesty, and fairness. As an individual preparing for future positive leadership, it is within my
conscience to imperatively acquaint myself with the leadership skills. It is however important to note
that there is no one single method/ technique of leading and thus, I keep leaning new and innovative
ideas to boost up my skills and ability. In other words, I possess the necessary requirements of being a
good leader and still open to new ideas contexts and experiences (Pearson 2012)
In life, there are uncountable many times that I have undergone situations that needed
influencing, guiding and directing a group of people towards achieving a common goal. Amongst the
many times included the time when I was a student leader at high school. Being a student leader gave
me the ability to understand and deal with people from diverse cultures while maintaining harmony. It
further helped in attaining relevant skills in conflict management. This was typical when the students
wanted to strike and I was meant to mediate the administration and the students of how to reach a
mutual understanding. These skills can further be rebuilt and applied in other vast contexts of
leadership and daily living in the society. To become a good leader, it requires the emulation of role
models, accepting advice from collogues and the people who are already in the system. However, to a
greater extent, one should work on shaping their psychological behaviors which include the Id, ego
and the super ego mind.

Making a conscience shadow element in my psyche is an important aspect even when I have
all the required techniques. As it was noted earlier, there is no single way of doing things and for such
a solid reason, it is always important to make conscious elements in my psyche. This may involve
copying the desirable qualities of the successful leaders while considering the ethical codes of conduct
in the prevalent community. It can further be attained by sharing experiences with inspirational
leaders (Vogelgesang Clapp and Osland 2014, p.178)
As a way of promoting support in larger contexts or systems, a general advocacy can be set
up in the context in question. A specific target group may be chosen for example the youth age or the
elite class and the necessary skills imparted to them through empirical training and practices.
Additionally, it must be emphasized that the current leaders in the context must be able to reflect an
exemplary and desirable leadership. This can help the locals in taking the leaders as role models thus
making better followers and leaders to be.
BECOMING ACQUAINT WITH THE INNER TOOLBOX
Since time immemorial, religion and Christianity in particular has played a substantial role in
making the society a better place to be, through encouraging and emphasizing peace in the community
and beyond. As a leader acquaint with the religious norms, following the bible is an important
strategy as the leadership will be in line with the commandments of God. a leader engaged in the
spiritual norm has a lot that is expected from among which may include; peaceful resolution of
conflicts amongst the followers; whenever there are issues in among the members, the leader should
be able to encourage harmonious living with no rivalry among the factions. Furthermore, the leader
should be focused in making people have a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm; this involves
condemning crimes, loving one another, and helping whenever necessary. The religious teaching in
leadership mainly emphasizes on maintaining the ethics in society and observing the will/ command
of God. Therefore a spiritual leader is expected to adhere to the same (Pearson 2012)
