Answering the Cry for Leadership
There is leadership potential in every person. Yes—you included. Leadership is not reserved for a few people with fancy titles or public platforms. It is a seed planted in every human being at birth. But like any seed, it must be discovered, nurtured, and activated. Sadly, very few ever respond to this power and call within them.
Take a moment to look around your community, school, or even your family. You'll see needs, broken systems, discouraged people, and untapped possibilities. These are not just problems—they are invitations. Every crisis is a call for leadership. The real question is: where are the genuine leaders?
"What makes an individual a leader is not popularity, it's purpose. It's the decision to serve, solve, influence, and show up when others step back."
Who will take responsibility for the situation and conditions we complain about every day? Who will rise to the challenge of building a better world instead of just wishing for one?
The essence of leadership is influence—not control, not domination—but the power to move people toward vision, change, and hope.
What makes an individual a leader is not popularity, it's purpose. It's the decision to serve, solve, influence, and show up when others step back. A leader doesn't wait for permission. A leader sees a need, hears the cry, and says, "I will be the answer."
So, who becomes a leader? Anyone who chooses to. When do they become one? The moment they stop waiting and start acting.
Right now, there's a cry for leadership in your nation, your city, your school, your church, and your family. That cry is not asking for someone else. It's calling you.
