Follow the Leader - If

I'll be the first to admit that sheep are not the most intelligent creatures on earth, but from time to time I wonder about some of us people. When sheep herders wish to move their flock from one pasture to another, if there is a slight obstacle in the path they let a goat lead the way and he will be the first to jump over the obstacle. The sheep follow dutifully. Interestingly enough, you could remove the obstacle and the sheep would continue to jump over an obstacle which no longer exists.

To a degree, people are the same way. A major cross country race in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, was to cover a seven-mile course. Two hours after the race began there were no runners in sight and the officials became concerned that something had happened. They set out in their automobiles to find the runners and discovered that all were six or more miles away, running in the wrong direction. Some had actually covered over ten miles. A. J. Rogers, the Association secretary, said the mix-up

apparently occurred when the runner leading the pack took a wrong turn at the fifth checkpoint and the rest followed him.

Dr. John Maxwell from San Diego, California, says that in a lifetime the average person directly or indirectly influences ten thousand other people. Those who are in leadership positions influence many, many more.

That's the reason leadership carries such an incredible responsibility - namely, that of making certain you're heading in the right direction, that the decisions you make are character-based and the route you choose is a good one.

When you make a decision, that decision is going to directly or indirectly influence countless other people. Right decisions by the right people can impact people positively, so make good decisions and I'll SEE YOU AT THE TOP!
