Being a leader is not as easy as it sounds and looks, but we have to face many challenges and sacrifices.
Leadership has also been greatly misunderstood, and many who claim to be leaders are not great leaders but rather manipulators.
Many people do not understand what true leadership is, and blindly follow “leaders” who wield power, manipulate people, and focus on titles and not integrity.
Dr. Myles Munroe said:
“ If you don’t know what something looks like, you can’t tell it when you see it.”
In other words, if you don’t know what a leader is supposed to be, you cannot discern the difference between a true leader versus a fake leader.
And anyone who calls themselves a leader, you will blindly follow that person.
Leadership is all about empowerment and the service of others, and not about power and control.
True leaders inspire people with their purpose and vision and lead others to greatness.
If we want to be leaders who transform others and make a change in the world, we have to learn from the great leaders who have walked this earth.
And one of the greatest ones who have walked this earth is no other but Mahatma Gandhi!

Conclusion
As leaders, we are obligated to live a life that will serve others. Live a life of integrity, compassion, and purpose.
As leaders, we have to commit our lives to grow every day in wisdom, skill, love, integrity, and becoming the persons God intended us to be.
Some may ask if this applies to all of us, for some think that leadership is only for certain individuals.
Although we are all leaders at some point. If we are influencing, we are already leading.
As John C Maxwell said:
“ Everyone is a leader because everyone is influencing someone.”
If you are a parent, friend, housewife, husband, wife, employee, or entrepreneur — the responsibilities of a leader apply to you.
Therefore the best way to become an effective leader is to learn from other great leaders.
Imitate the great and become great yourself. Mahatma Gandhi has truly shown us how to be a true leader through his unforgettable life lessons.
