If you want to be an inspiration to others then you want to be in the field of Love. In my view one cannot inspire without having a sincere desire to help and/or love people. If you want to be a leader then at some point you will need to be in a position whereby you will need to motivate others. That motivation will need to involve: enthusing, others, guiding others, teaching others, monitoring activities of others and the list in leadership will continue to manifest. When you talk about leadership, it typically will also involve directly or indirectly include the whole scope of management and the elements of organizational behavior, there usually is no way out of it; it will involve some form of “organization” even if you want be a leader in your very own domain (a leader at home).

I am sure by now you are probably asking yourself; okay yes I understand, but how do I inspire through my leadership. Well, let’s take a look; first let’s get this out on the table. One does not need to be a CEO of a major corporation, nor a University/College President or an elected official to be a leader. But, you do need to be involved in some form or you need to be involved in a movement that drives you to inspire others. Inspiring others through leadership comes innumerable ways but generally, it includes action.  Action is a requirement to inspire others while leading, there is no way out. Helping others build to themselves for the future is important to many. Many individuals are got up in a world of confusion and intimidation and feel completely inundated with their existence.  Inspire through leadership by providing those in need with the tools to excel in their chosen career aspirations or their particular predicament. Inspire through influence intellectually and with the techniques of practical applications. A leader needs to be resourceful and needs to have the foresight to assess and ask the question what can I do and what do I need to help those people who need help.  Then the leader needs to teach by demonstration the act of selflessness by being there when the need is so desired.

Inspiring others through leadership is not something that you apply for or take a class that will now make you the guru in inspiring others. The reward comes when you give, when you are of service, when you offer to be there always to help. That is the reward, which is leadership; it is the call for unconditional services to others in need.
