Leadership attracts opposition. When you are unknown nobody really cares about you. However, when you occupy a leadership position everybody wants to pick on you. All eyes on you.
Why? Because leadership initiates change and change threatens the survival of those who have thrived on existing structures. This naturally breeds opposition. My advice: Expect opposition but plan to overcome it with persuasion and the right attitude. Opposition can fuel a leader’s performance when received positively but could bring distraction when handled inappropriately.
Learn from the apostle Paul. When he faced opposition (read 2 Corinthians 11:23-27), he stands firm in his faith, attitude, and integrity - and so God sustained and made him an example for all leaders #ServeToLead #GrowingLeader
THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.
