Are you a leader? Can everyone be a leader? I personally believe that everyone is not called to be a leader because leadership is very hard and can be a burden. Without the ability to understand, overcome and step-up, a lot of people do not have the capacity to be leaders. Leadership can be emotionally draining and stressful. Sometimes doing meaningful work does not allow you to be happy all the time and a leader has to be able to reconcile with that.
Here are some burdens of being a leader:
1. Other's don't care as deeply as you.
2. People question your motives all the time
3. People mostly think about themselves, while a leader show up thinking about everyone else
4. Little to no appreciation
As a leader undertaking all these challenges, it can be depressing at times and overwhelming. It is important to remember your WHY (purpose) for doing the role as leader. Take solace in knowing that you are touching lives, affecting change and creating an impact in the lives of others and your community.
