Leaders are Problem-Solvers.
Success and happiness in life depend on willingness to help
others to solve their problems. Successful people are problemsolvers.
Lawyers solves legal matters. Physicians solve physical
problems. The automobile mechanic solves car problems. Jesus
Christ was a problem-solver. Jesus forgive sinner. Many were
spiritually starved. He said, “I am the Bread of life” (John 6:35)
Leaders have something others people don’t have. They solved
others people problems. Take an inventory of yourself. What do
you have to offer someone? What do you enjoy doing? What
would you attempt to do if you knew it was impossible to fail?
To be a leader is not an accident. God planned your birth and is a
gift from God. “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and
before thou carries forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I
ordained thee” (Jeremiah 1:5). “There are so many gifts still
unopened from birthday, there are so many hand-crafted
presents have been sent to you by God. The beloved does not
mind repeating, “Everything I have is also yours.” There are so
many gifts, my dear still unopened from your birthday.
The power to discover our voice lies in the potential that was
bequeathed us at birth. Latent and undeveloped, the seed of
greatness were given magnificent “birth-gifts-talents, capacities,
privileges, intelligences, opportunities-that would remain largely
unopened except through our own decision and effort. Because of
these gifts, the potential within an individual is tremendous, even
infinite. We really have no clue what a person is capable of. A
baby may be the most dependent creation in the universe, and
yet within a few short years, it becomes the most powerful. The
more we use and magnify our present talents, the more talents
we are given and the greater our capacity becomes.
Author Marianne Williamson beautifully expressed how
oftentimes we are awed, even fearful, of our native endowmentslargely,
I believe, because of the sense of responsibility they lay
upon us: our deepest fear is not that inadequate. Our deepest
fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not
our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I
to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are not
to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the
world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine,
as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God
that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And
as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
Leaders are solution to a problem. Think of your contribution to
another as an assignment. A lawyer is assign to his client. A wife is
assign to her husband and a husband is assign to his wife. Parents
are assign to their children. Employees are assign to their
employers.
Your assignment is always to a person or people. Your
assignment will always solve a problem. Your life is a solution to
someone in trouble. Find those who need you and what you have
to offer.
At the end of the day ask yourself these questions: What
specific- problem have you recently struggled with but
successfully solved.
How can you help others apply to their own situation what you
learned in solving your problem?
How can you make a positive contribution during the coming
week in the life of someone to whom you are assigned?
Build your life around that contribution.
Leaders are problem-solver.
