Having probe, the writing several times back and forth. The sequence of the event runs off the page with a deafening screech as it collides with my thought. The Lesson that is being put forth by the writer:<\/p>\n
but more importantly, that leadership requires self-confidence.<\/p>\n
Henry lost sight of what it is that he was doing. He was assessing or basing his results on the external things \u2013 the Lifestyle, the greed etc. of those he was leading. He wanted to impact the environment but lost his confidence because\u00a0of the assessments.<\/p>\n
The impact of this is on a P1 critical state for me. It is a reminder for what I was told during my undergrad studies. During one of our classes, our professor\/principal spoke about being your own hallelujah corner, as there are days when you would be preaching and no one would be responding. He encouraged us at such point to continue preaching and when you get home pat yourself on the back and say well done.<\/p>\n
Your self-esteem had to be at a level that would bolster the confidence needed to get the job done. Northouse (2018, p24), reminds us \u201cself-confidence is about being certain about one\u2019s competencies and skill\u201d. He went further to argue this would help the individual to feel that \u201ctheir attempts to influence others are appropriate and right\u201d (p.24)
\nAuthor Crawford W. Loritts, Jr in his book Leadership as An Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Wield Lasting Influence, noted “what inspires us to take action is an irresistible picture of either what\u00a0should be done or what could be done. We then focus our determination to make it happen” (p115) he further laments that for Christian leadership” is all about doing what God wants to be done” (p.115)<\/p>\n
I can see Henry\u2019s portion and therefore challenge myself constantly not be caught in the position of losing my confidence.\u00a0 but, in obedience\u00a0to the masters call forge forward.<\/p>\n
