Follow the Leader

This week I was able to remember certain things I learned in pathway, and they are the importance of being a positive leader. I have seen how crucial it is to show to those under your leadership how committed you are, by showing them through your actions the significance of whatever you are leading. In the Church, for example, my responsibility as a Young Men President is to be there, providing and ministering to the youth in whatever they need. I need to be able to show them how the gospel must be lived. The Lord said we need to be like Him, so when you are a leader, you are His representative, and that means to reflect His light, His example in others, thus people follow you by following your actions and at the end, they are following the Savior. This means leading by example is the most effective way to teach anyone in your path. In Communication I learned about persuasion and how it is done. But, to follow the model given by prophets and apostles, first I need to live the principle and then I will be able to tell others how to live it. That is the Lord’s way to lead His Church. I love the fact on how you can feel the truth when you hear a sincere, righteous Church leader calling to repentance. You can do it because you can feel hi/she is living the principle, and that is ultimately what a true leader needs to do to in order to take others to a higher ground.
