You may feel responsible today and more apt than usual to accept a leadership role at your workplace or in your personal endeavors. If you are presented with an opportunity to take charge of a project, mentor others, or supervise those in positions of support, consider that you have likely been preparing for this moment for some time by learning to work closely with people. Though your new role can be jarring at first, you may discover that you settle into it quickly today. Since you likely recognize that you are now accountable for the performances of those under your charge or the success of one or more undertakings, you may approach your headship seriously and with an eye toward ensuring that your decisions help others meet their goals.

When we take leadership roles seriously, we empower ourselves to make a positive difference in the lives of the individuals under our charge. Many people find the notion of accepting a position of authority discomfiting because they fear they are not capable of successfully guiding others toward achievement. As we do our best with the tools we've been given and act as willing mentors to those in supportive roles, our efforts on behalf of the group are more likely to meet with positive outcomes. Our focus on personal accountability and our commitment to seeing that others succeed ensures that our charges never hesitate to approach us with questions or solicit our advice. You'll equip others to realize their ambitions today when you realize the importance of good leadership.
