Leadership in the family

Men should take leadership in the family as head of the household. In every leadership role its about Moving from Vision to Reality. Moving from vision to reality is the title of my book. You can pick it up at Amazon on the following link:

This is true in the family also. We should lead with a clear vision for our family. A big picture that you would like to accomplish. Also individually we should recognize the potential in each of our children and our spouse and allow them to accomplish their purpose based on the potential.

Everything rises and falls on leadership. Our leadership will make the difference in ensuring the accomplishment of the family vision.

Servant Leadership

A friend of mine Tyrome Garrison sent me this information about Servant Leadership. Here it is:

A servant leader is a person, regardless of positional authority, who has a serve-first orientation. Their focus as a leader is betterment of those whose lives they seek to influence. 

Laub (1999) states: servant-leadership is an understanding and practice of leadership that places the good of those led over the self-interest of the leader. Servant-leadership promotes the valuing and development of people, the building of community, the practice of authenticity, the providing of leadership for the good of those led and the sharing of power and status for the common good of each individual, the total organization and those served by the organization. (As cited by Horsman, 2006, Pg.1)
