3 Signs That Your Leader May Be Leading You Astray
Leadership is one of the most important and delicate things in every society and the lives of everyone within such spheres.
It is not something to be trifled with or decided with any form of bias, undue influence, or sentiments. If you follow or subject yourself to be under bad leadership, your end may not be as delightful and successful as you hope it would be.
A person that cannot be corrected when they’re wrong, and is so set on their ways is a disaster waiting to happen, as Gen. Sani Abacha was to Nigeria!
When a blind person acts as a guide on the road to other blind persons, we all know that it’s only a matter of time before they all end up in a ditch, don’t we?
Leaders have the power to determine the way the destinies of everyone under the sphere of their influence would end up. Hence, it is very important that you don’t follow or choose to be under any leader who exhibits or has any of the following traits:
(1) They have no one they follow or submit to.
One of the most outstanding traits of a good leader is that they are superb followers first, before anything else.
You cannot lead if you can’t follow, and anyone who refuses to subject themselves to any authority above them and follow diligently is not fit to lead others. Beware of such people and friends around you, and never allow them to suck you into their circle.
Virtually every leader that has ever ruled and shaped the affairs of this world has one thing in common – they were diligent, exemplary, and loyal followers of someone else before the mantle of leadership was passed on to them eventually.
(2) They are incorrigible.
No matter what your relationship may be with anyone, if you ever notice this trait, you would do well to start taking steps to cut them off from your life entirely.
A person that doesn’t listen to others, cannot be corrected when they’re wrong, and is so set on their ways is a disaster waiting to happen!
Such people would keep making terrible and uninformed decisions because they refuse to heed the voice of reasoning around them. Following a leader like this can only result in disaster, as they will surely lead you astray.
(3) They lack self-control.
Any good leader must be a master of their emotions, will, desires, and reactions. They must not be someone who has no self-control regarding money, anger, or the opposite sex.
A person that aspires to lead and have rule over others must first exhibit concrete control over themselves before the destinies of countless other people can be entrusted to them.
If any of these signs are present in whoever it is you’re currently following, we would advise that you have a rethink and start cutting off from such leaders.
A leader should inspire, build, motivate, and show you how to be better and do better every day. Do not settle for anything lesser than this.
