Have you ever been upset after not getting the food you ordered? Have you ever been the one person that always ends up doing other’s work? Do you ever wish people would just do their job?

We’re all familiar with leaders such as the traditional manager, clergy or politician. Other types of leaders are those that may be the most knowledgeable about a new computer software program. How about the next door neighbor who is known to be the best baker on the block? Volunteers also take on leadership roles such as in Toastmasters when you volunteer to be a club officer. Leaders are role models in all parts of our lives; however good leaders these days seem to be in short supply.

Toastmasters is a wonderful organization that helps you master being a leader whether you lead yourself, one other person, groups or communities.

Before you lead anyone you must be able to lead yourself. Can you see your goal and make it happen? Toastmasters empowers people with skills such as listening, managing time, organizing, accountability and responsibility...just to name a few. Using those skills exercises your ability to conceive a goal and achieve that goal!

 

The very essence of leadership is its purpose. And the purpose of leadership is to accomplish a task. That is what leadership does–and what it does is more important than what it is or how it works.
~Colonel Dandridge M. Malone

You can help another transform their life. Can you visualize what is possible for a new member? Toastmasters mentoring program is the key to making sure our new members get what they want and need from our organization. You are able to expand their vision of what is possible and help them accomplish dreams they didn’t know existed.

 

 

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
~John Quincy Adams
