Be on higher ground

Leaders' Lounge. 

The position of leadership is one which demands commitment, dedication and service amongst other things. In fact, leadership makes all manner of demands on the ones who have chosen or have been pushed to tread its path, constantly and ceaselessly. 

Leaders must therefore learn to dig deep within and be brutally honest with themselves in what they believe and what they stand for. It requires humility and transparency to acknowledge one’s strengths, as well as one’s weaknesses. 

Armed with this introspection, leaders must endeavour to lead with positive practices for the right reasons of which includes virtuousness or an abundance culture.

Be informed.
Build yourself up.
Find replenishment for when you suffer burn outs.
Stack up a wall of knowledge and applicable wisdom.

As a leader, you can only bring people up if you are standing on higher ground first.

Leaders And Teachers: Same Boat.

Once you get involved in education, you are directly connected to leadership. Making decisions that will affect learners, raising leaders, supporting leaders and providing a leeway for them.

Then, once you become a leader, you will be again directed back to education. Making decision that will affect others, working to build both brand and your team, assisting both peers and subordinates.

The challenges might sometimes differ, but, no matter what anybody says, teachers are leaders and leaders are teachers.
