One of the most common
costs of leadership is the experience of rejection. I can
list all day on how many rejections I get over the years. From bosses,
colleagues, students, families, friends, churches and others. If you are
willing to accept the call to leadership in your generation, you must be
willing to be rejected and misunderstood by all (Btw, don't play the victim
games, sometimes the rejection is fair).
It is said that no man
is ever fully accepted until he has first of all been utterly rejected. If you
depend on or need the agreement of everyone around you in order to feel secure,
you will never be an excellent leader. Why? Because true leaders affect change
and change by its very nature will 'spark' conflict and resistance. Rejection
does not mean you are wrong (again, sometimes you are wrong. So, apologize),
but it does indicate that you are challenging others to change 😉🤗💪
