The one thing about leadership
power, and perhaps the thing that defines the leaders from the
followers is their ability to seize an opportunity. Those
people, who can recognize an opportunity when they see one, and take
advantage of it at the right moment, are the ones who are using
their leadership power. This tip outlines the importance of grabbing
an opening when it first presents itself.
It is all very well for people to
say that they did not succeed because they did not get opportunities
in life. Life did not give them the breaks that they deserved and
which other people were lucky enough to get. But the truth of the
matter is that all these are simply excuses.
Being in a country like America,
which is regarded as the land of opportunities, it is all but
impossible not to get at least a few opportunities in life which can
make you a successful leader. But the reason why true leaders are so
rare is because people do not take all the opportunities and chances
that come their way. As Josh Billings once said, "Occasions are
rare; and those who know how to seize upon them are rarer"; leadership only comes to those who know how to seize
opportunities.>
The only way you can take advantage
of opportunities is to have the ability to recognize them. Most
people miss out on chances in life simply because they cannot see
the opportunity in any given situation or circumstance. The one
certain thing about opportunities is that they never seem to come
when you want them to and almost never in a form that you expect
them to. But if it were so easy to identify a lucky break and grab
at it, wouldn't this world be filled with leaders?
Thus, to be able to seize an
opportunity and enhance your leadership, you have to always be
prepared for an opening. And that can only come when you do not fear
hard work and are ready to put in the immense effort that it takes
to be successful. If you can do that - toil without worrying about
the fruits of such labor - then you will be surprised to see that
not only are you getting many more opportunities to be a leader, but
are also able to create opportunities where there did not seem to be
any.
As Edward De Bono once said, "If you
wait for opportunities to occur, you will be one of the crowd."
Thus, if you wish to be a true leader utilizing your power, not a
follower, you need to put your energies into working hard,
continually learning, so that you are always ready to, not just
seize an opportunity whenever it arises, but create new
opportunities of your own. Seize an Opportunity and Unleash
Your Leadership Power!
