CALLED TO LEAD


Called To Lead

My Hypothesis

Leaders are born. Everyone is called to lead. Not everyone “hears” the call. Heeding and pursuing the call is

determined by choice. The right choices result in leadership

development. Leadership development is a process. There is a PATTERN to it.

Called To Lead

What do I mean by “Call”

A call is your “human will” moving you in one direction.

Calls are invitations from “life” to serve, to activate your life toward a cause worthy of you and the human family.

– John Schuster, “Answering the call”

A Spiritual Undertone – Replace “human will”, “life” for Manufacturer!


Called To Lead

The Defining Moment

“Who am I?”

“What is my purpose?”

Eureka

Whether by accident or design, there are moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously appraise ourselves and the condition under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives.


Called To Lead

An Underlying Order

The Human Life Cycle: A Sequence of seasons – struggling through various degrees of self knowledge and self invention.

And at the “Noon” of Life: Coming to terms with the Meaning of Life. The Call to Greater Wholeness.

- Levinson/Jung etc


Called To Lead

The Whole Person Paradigm Physical needs - for food/ shelter/ work/ clothing

Social needs - for loving and being loved, inclusion, recognition, self identity

Mental needs - for developing the mind through mental exercise; through study/ learning

Spiritual needs - for taking care of one’s soul, for doing something that really matters, something that has meaning, for being at peace with one’s God

A balance of all the needs is what gives a fulfilling life


Called To Lead

Self Actualization

"What a man can be, he must be.This need we may call self-actualization…It refers to the desire for self-fulfillment,

namely, to the tendency for him to becomeactualized in what he is potentially.

This tendency might be phrased as the desireto become more and more what one is,

to become everything that one is capable of becoming.“

- Abraham Maslow


Called To Lead

Perspectives on the Defining Moment

Warren Bennis & Robert J.Thomas All of the truly effective leaders they studied,

regardless of age, had undergone at least one intense, transformational experience” that set them on their “desired, even inevitable” leadership paths.

Daniel Goleman Sudden shocking discoveries about our lives shaking

us into action,”wowing” us with a stark truth about ourselves and offering new clarity about our lives.

John Maxwell Leadership Defining Crucibles


Called To Lead

Leadership Defining Crucibles

Ground breakers – these experiences literally thrust one out and enable them to break new ground.

Heart breakers - those painful, unwelcome events that stop one in their tracks and force them to re-evaluate priorities.

Cloud breakers – the encounters allow one to see the big picture – suddenly & clearly – like never before.

Chart breakers – those defining moments allow one to soar with confidence.


Called To Lead

“The voyage of discovery depends not on visiting

distant shores but on seeing the world with new eyes”

– Proust

True leaderscome from self-actualizing

individuals who are motivated to grow, to be efficacious,

and to achieve.

- James M. Burns


Called To Lead

Response to the Call

Those who don’t hear it – very many

Those who don’t heed it – majority

Those who drop out – quite a few

Those who plateau – many

Those who continue to grow and finish well - some


Called To Lead

A Final Word

So, friends, confirm God's invitation to you, his choice of you.

Don't put it off; do it now. Do this, and you'll have your life on

a firm footing….
