Is a formal title required to be a leader? Not at all. True leadership comes from a person’s character.
Leadership is helping and serving other people. A leader thinks more of the people he is serving than himself.
A true leader doesn’t seek for praise and doesn’t seek for power. He seeks results.
Leadership without a formal title respects leadership that does have a formal title.
When Lehi’s family was close to starvation after their tools to secure food were broken, some members sat around complaining. One got up, made a new tool, then asked the formal leader where he should go to get food. That simple act of leadership saved a family from starvation.
We can be leaders without a title in our families, in our groups of friends, in a public place where no one knows us. Focus on helping and serving others in all aspects of your life without regard to praise, power, or reward and you will be an effective leader.
