Most people in life are happy to follow the lead of other people, to sit on the

fence in a debate or have the attitude of hiding at the back of the class. The

most successful people are leaders and make things happen for themselves by

taking a positive attitude and through working very hard to reach their goals.

We are all able to become leaders and this article may help you to achieve this

status.

I grew up as a very nervous person, who had very little self-confidence and who

was very shy. I was not happy being this way and often felt jealous of other

people who were happy to speak up and take control of tasks and situations. I

wanted to be one of these leaders and not the follower that I certainly had

become.

In my early twenties, I decided that the time had arrived to make a series of life

changing decisions. I was determined to have a happy and successful life and

was aware that I needed to change my whole attitude and approach to life.

I was not happy at where I worked and joined an employment agency in an

attempt to find alternative employment. In the reception area of the agency, I

started speaking to a man who was also their hoping to find a different job. His

name was Mark and we got on well and wished each other the best of luck in

our quest to find work. We even exchanged phone numbers and vowed to keep

each other up to date with our progress.

I was then interviewed by a man who explained his plan to help me to find this

new role of work. He was very bright, clever and positive and had many

interesting ideas. He seemed very confident that I would soon be employed for

a different company more suited to the skills which I had.

At one stage of the meeting he described the scenario of a group interview. He

suggested that we may be ushered into a large room with a big table. As we sat

down there would be a sheet of paper asking the group to debate a particular

subject. He stated that all of the people in the room would be in the same

position, all looking for work, all nervous, however that in that room I could be

whoever I wanted to be. He said that I needed to stand up and take the lead by

stating that I would act as chairman and that if anyone had a comment that

they wanted to make, that they could raise their hand. If I did this I would show

my prospective employer that I was a leader.

I went home and thought about this and did not believe I had it in me to act in

the way that he wanted me to, as I was not a leader. Later that evening Mark

phoned and all he was talking about was the group interview scenario. He also

stated that there was no way that he would be able to stand up either in the

way that had been described.

I did not have to ever attend a group interview, but Mark did. He surprised

himself by carrying out the advice and stated that after he had said his initial

statement about being the chairman, that he had never felt so powerful and in

control. For the rest of the day other members of the group had been regularly

asking him questions as if he was some sort of team leader. He was very proud

of himself and I am happy to report that he was successful at that interview

and is very happy in his new position.

He has also taken the success and learning experience into his social life and

states that he has never had a higher self-esteem. I am very pleased for him as

he is a genuine person who works very hard. He is also one of only a few

friends that I can honestly say that I trust.

I have taken inspiration from Mark and have entered into a career of helping

people who stutter, to achieve fluency. This is something which I really enjoy

and which gives me a large amount of job satisfaction. I am also far more

confident than I ever have been and have at last found happiness.

In conclusion we all have it in us to be a leader. We need to be brave and

determined to take control and remember that all we can do in life is to try our

best. We are only sure about living one life, so lets be happy and not accept

second best. Be a leader in life, not a follower.
