The need for 1-ader.hil) in all walks of life
is greeter today then ever before. Every as-
pect of living .i'•tuallds guiding hands: govern-
ment. 1.usine,,s, 11 t- t''sio us, lite tine arts
and the mechanic arts.
The `stats w ho would be a leader trust Pay
the diseip1iuttry ceet involved, says The Royal
tank llontlily Letter. Continuing-, it says:
This sloe, not /ilea!' that he lutist withdraw
from the world, hitt it does entail restraint,
control and ntoderat ioo . wherever these are
neeessary to achieve the ends he seeks.
L•_`aders need to submit themselves to a
stricter discipline 1 hart is expected of others.
Those who are tir-t hit place {mist be first i11
merit.
Int view of this: it is not surprising to find
that the great number of persons who have
been acknowledged as leaders were people who
themselves learned the art of obeying.-
man
beying.-man who has not' earned to render prompt
and willing service to others will find it diffi-
cult to win and k.04op control of his followers.
Toting people who aspire to reach positions
of leadership would be doing themselves a
favour -if they were to drill themselves its
faeitt disagreeable things. A philo5ophelead-
vises all of us to do something occasionally
for no Other reason than that we would rather
not do it.
Besides doing well what he ha:sets.esslo, the
leader has initiative, which is the ability to
think and to do new'''things.' Ile is shooting
A LEADER
at a moving target.
11 is essential in leadership to stay ahead.
The leafier cannot set up a. procedure and
then linger -lazily watching it work. HIe can-
not be content merely to see new trends and
take advantage of thein. Ile must, rather,
keep his, imagination vividly alive, so as to
riginate ideas and start trends.
Matey a sad story is written in the annals
of business every year by leaders who are
falling into the routine of being managers.
`Vhen they start to coast .they. have reached
the enol of the line of their own development
and their contribution to the growth of their
business.
Leaders are so -eager about their work that
they can hardly wait for morning to get started
at it. But they are not impetuous. Thity"ke
a balanee between emotional drive and sound'
thinking. Their excess ,of effort testifies to
their belief that unless a man undertakes more'
than he possibly can do he will never do all
that he. can do. Their enthusiasm stimulates
their ent'rgy.
That is why business leaders are found so
universally in the forefront of social endeavour.
Leadership is essential in all .social life and in
every form of social organization, and because
of their experience and their flair the corpor-
ation head, the plant executive and the shop
foremast ere pressed into service to lead com-
munity or national campaigns for improvement
of services and the raising of money.
