MY Ideal Leader...

I'm struggling to write about a famous person that I view as a leader because I was taught to never idolize and the only person that comes to mind is Jesus. I think he's a perfect choice because in order for him to truly lead, he had to go through some situations. Believing in an entity that you believe to be "real" allows room to have faith and trust that no matter the task, the leader is capable. I think that the greatest part about God's leadership is that he has many followers and he's always putting others in a position to exceed expectations. An essential part of being a leader, is that you are able to listen attentively. Who better a leader then to talk to then someone that will listen without interruption, interfere without warning, and make a way when you thought there was in fact none. Someone I know from one of my Leadership Course stated that " a leader is anyone who makes an impact on your life and influences you for the better. They might not always be prominent, or have a huge title, but they never stop making a difference. They never stop trying to figure out what they could be doing to give back.  This led me back to the fact that Jesus does what he does for our lives, involuntarily, and that even though we may ask for his help, he let’s us bump out heads so that we can learn.  Jesus,  lets us bump our heads sometimes so that we’ll learn from our mistakes and apply what we learned to future situations, just like any other good leader would! Jesus is an inspiration and the reason why I always want to make an impact on the ones around me. The best leaders lead in silence.
