    About this ebook

    Are you wondering how great leaders who died many and thousand years ago are still remembered for their leadership impact?

    Are you desiring to create great impact in the world and to set a legacy that will be spoken of, last and be admired by millions? Are you desiring to be an influential person? Are you struggling to inspire others with your visions? Are you desiring to bring your vision into fruition? This book is yours if yes.

    I believe that trapped inside you is an undiscovered leader of great value to your generation!

    Are leaders born, made, developed, created, cultivated, or products of circumstances? Is leadership reserved only for an elite few, a specific gender, people of a particular social stratum, or those of advanced intelligence? Is leadership the prerogative of a rare breed; is it a by-product of the superior DNA of a super-race? Or can anyone from anywhere at any time emerge as a leader? In some form, these questions have been around for thousands of years. This book is written to challenge the limitations of your conception of your own abilities and hopefully ignite in you the conviction that you were born to lead.

    The world is filled with followers, supervisors, and managers but very few  leaders.

    History has produced a legacy of distinguished and outstanding leaders who have impacted the world and furthered the development of humanity. They were both men and women, rich and poor, learned and unlearned, trained and untrained. They came from every race, color, language, and culture of the world. Many of them had no ambition to become great or renowned. In fact, most of the individuals who have greatly affected humanity have been simple people who were thrust into circumstances that demanded the hidden qualities of their characters, or they were driven by personal, passionate goals.

    Leaders are ordinary people who accept or are placed under extraordinary circumstances that bring forth their latent potential, producing character that inspires the confidence and trust of others. Our world today is in desperate need of such individuals.

    In his renowned play Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare wrote, "There is a tide in the affairs of men." With these words, he was expressing his observation that the waves of history have an influence on our lives. It's as if we as individuals and nations are caught up in a tide of providential events.

    There have been eras in the history of the world in which multiple tide-like

    influences have impacted our civilizations and cultures at nearly the same time. These historical incidents are known as "crossroads of history." I would suggest that we are now at a confluence of historic tides.

    The 20th century saw maybe more upsetting advancements than any earlier 100 years, including annihilating conflicts, tremendous new weapons, incalculable cataclysmic events, and lethal infections. It was likewise perhaps the most eccentric, politically fascinating, and progressive of any hundred years ever. Over the most recent a very long while, a generally limited capacity to focus time, the world has encountered numerous noteworthy changes in the domains of science, innovation, medication, and space investigation, as well as many other purported progressions. We should concur that our age lives in a twirling tide of occasions, dreams, commitments, dangers, and changing thoughts regarding the present and what's in store. The states of our reality press the current age to ask once more, "What am I doing here? What is the motivation behind life? For what reason are life and reality how they are?"

    What will you be remembered for when you are no more?

      To the leader in every follower. To the millions who have resolved that they will always be subjugated to the whims of others.

      To all the individuals whom I have had the privilege and opportunity to   inspire to strive to be all they were born to be.

      To the millions of great men and women who presently occupy the wombs of their mothers, children destined to change the world and become the leaders of destiny.

      And to the Third World peoples around the world whose potentials were, and, in some cases, still are, oppressed and suppressed by the opinions and judgments of others.

      To all aspiring leaders for whom life holds such promise.

      Acknowledgments

      This work is a synergistic product of many minds. I am forever grateful to the inspiration and wisdom of the many great men and women who, through their commitment and passion for releasing their potential, have left a legacy   to motivate me and my generation.

      And finally, to the Source and Supplier of all potential, the Omnipotent One, the Father and Lord of all creation; His Son, my elder Brother, Jesus Christ; and my personal Counselor, the Holy Spirit. Thanks for the privilege   of serving You.

      Introduction

      Great leaders do not desire to lead but to serve.

      Everyone has the capacity to be a leader. Despite this innate power that exists in everyone, relatively few people are aware of it, and even fewer have successfully answered the call. As a result, there is a shocking leadership gap in our societies, countries, and communities.

      The real leaders—where are they? Where are the people who are prepared to accept accountability for the state of the world today?

      Why should prepared take on the test and figure out it while keeping up with their ethical respectability and set out to make the world a superior place? Our homes are needing authority. Pioneers are desperately required for our childhood. The congregation is encountering authority issues. The shortfall of pioneers is subverting our state run administrations. Our reality needs bearing, our kids need mentors, and our networks major areas of strength for need models. The globe is needing genuine pioneers, from America to Australia, Croatia to the Caribbean, and Uganda to Uruguay.

      This isn't whenever that there first has been a worldwide deficiency of superior grade, viable initiative. In any case, a short survey of history uncovers that the best chiefs have arisen when moral, social, monetary, profound, and political commotion has overwhelmed social orders. Qualified, just, and ethically upstanding pioneers are the answer for our issues in general.

      CHAPTER 1

      Mentor Your Successors

      Every person, from his or her own perspective, desires to be successful.

      What is success? Success can be defined as the efficient and effective completion of an assigned task to the level of expectation of the one who gave the assignment. In other words, true success is the fulfillment of original purpose. Success is not measured by what you have done compared to what others have done, but rather by what you have done compared to what you should have done. Consequently, the true
