You may be asked to assume a leadership position today at your workplace, in your home, or in a volunteer capacity. While you may have little experience guiding others, you'll likely find you rise to the challenge admirably. Adopting an authoritative attitude--even when you do not feel commanding--can help you adjust to your new role. If you feel ill-equipped to head up a project or coordinate complex schedules, consider that acting decisively and assuredly can help you become a more poised leader. Others will likely feel more comfortable seeking you out if they feel confident allowing you to make choices that will affect their lives. You may discover today that you grow more commanding as you see how your charges thrive under your leadership.
Taking on a position in which we are expected to guide and supervise others can help us become more commanding individuals. Few people are presented with opportunities to exert themselves authoritatively, and thus most never learn how to thrive in a supervisory or leadership role. When we are given the responsibility of command, we evolve into our new roles gradually while helping our charges evolve in their supporting roles. Since it is impossible to act as a mentor to another without learning ourselves, the positions of authority we undertake afford us a unique opportunity to open our minds to a wide range of possibilities and to observe firsthand how others assimilate wisdom. When you accept a leadership position today, you'll learn to command others with ease and dependability.
