Leadership Ability - A Hallmark of Success

A man once worked himself up so much until he was fagged out. He was being strong I suppose. Save for the advice to delegate authority, he could have achieved just next to nothing. Leadership is the inherent ability one has to transfer skills, knowledge, and otherwise to another. It is invariably a hallmark for resounding success. “Leadership is not about title, position, or flowchart. It is about one life influencing another”. - John C. Maxwell. Great and successful leaders are those whose lives and actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more.

Career Success- Starting Small, Growing Big

Career success is not just a destination but a life journey built over time, embellished with hard work and crowned with financial returns. It most times involves starting small and growing big. Unfortunately, many miss out this salient point. People have met waterloos in businesses though they set great standards stemming from big dreams, but never had the opportunity to start out in the first place. One major setback is the resource - human and financial, to start up with the high standards envisioned.

Push to Success- Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone

While it is true that some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouths, the greater part of the people are not. Being born with a silver spoon also does not tell success. Success is a product of self-realization, principles, and hard work. It can be shown that more of the people that meet success in life and career are not favorably disposed. Not many had the privilege of already prepared grounds. “Great men are not born great; they grow great.” – Mario Puzo. I have seen and heard people blame upbringing for their ill fate. Coming from disadvantaged backgrounds, people have been able against all odds to break even. On the other hand, people with extensive reserves of fortune have ended up without achievements or influence. It then leaves me with the option to agree no less that background does not determine success

What then is the key?
