You may realize that you need to take charge of your business environment today in order to regain control. As you step into the authoritative role you may have been avoiding, you can feel your confidence build. Not everyone has the ability or desire to be a leader. Sometimes we may not realize that employees and support staff actually appreciate having clear direction about their jobs. It relieves them of the need to make decisions and take responsibility, which is what leadership roles are meant to do. Today, you step up to fulfill your role as a leader and leave the support staff to focus on their specific jobs under your direction.

In this climate of political correctness, we tend to think that everyone ought to be treated equally. But when each person does their job within a hierarchy with pride, there is no true inequality. You can give equal respect to people while also understanding the different roles each person plays and their responsibilities. Organizations without clear leadership are like people in a rowboat rowing in different directions. Though all of their input can be taken into consideration, they will ultimately need a captain to make the final decision, point them in one direction, and help them synchronize their movements. By stepping into the role of commander today, you focus the energy of your organization in one direction and can move forward confidently.
