a friend told me after she took the Personality Color Test last week. “It looks ugly on me to act that way, ” she said in response to the video of the sharp dressed guy throwing cash around. Well, that character in the video isnt me either, yet I scored very high in the RED.
“I have read of men born peculiarly endowed by nature to be a general,” remarked General William Sherman. “But I have never seen one.” Great leaders are made, not born.
The vast majority of us have done little in our lives to mark ourselves as leadership material. In fact, I cringe at how utterly meek I was in high school. Yet, we all have the capacity inside of us. All we need is a sufficiently compelling reason to switch into high gear.
For more and more people that reason is the form of economic hardship. Corporatations are downsizing and/or merging. Inflation is out of control, and in my real-estate based desert town, the unemployment is overwhelming.
No matter how old you are or what you have or have not accomplished thus far in life, it is never to late to develop the capacity to lead. The first step is to be proactive and work on yourself. Most people are reactive, thus the attitudes, habits and emotional reflexes that make up their personality come from outside. These personality traits were impressed upon them early in life by parents, siblings, and so called “friends.” Just as we learned one way of dealing with the world through others’ rose colored glasses, we can learn a different way. If you do not yet have the characteristics of a leader, you can still acquire them if you want to.
