The Leader's Legacy (ePub)

Are you wondering how great leaders who died many and thousand years ago are still remembered for their leadership impact?

Are you desiring to create great impact in the world and to set a legacy that will be spoken of, last and be admired by millions? Are you desiring to be an influential person? Are you struggling to inspire others with your visions? Are you desiring to bring your vision into fruition? This book is yours if yes.

I believe that trapped inside you is an undiscovered leader of great value to your generation!

Are leaders born, made, developed, created, cultivated, or products of circumstances? Is leadership reserved only for an elite few, a specific gender, people of a particular social stratum, or those of advanced intelligence? Is leadership the prerogative of a rare breed; is it a by-product of the superior DNA of a super-race? Or can anyone from anywhere at any time emerge as a leader? In some form, these questions have been around for thousands of years. This book is written to challenge the limitations of your conception of your own abilities and hopefully ignite in you the conviction that you were born to lead.

The world is filled with followers, supervisors, and managers but very few leaders.

History has produced a legacy of distinguished and outstanding leaders who have impacted the world and furthered the development of humanity. They were both men and women, rich and poor, learned and unlearned, trained and untrained. They came from every race, color, language, and culture of the world. Many of them had no ambition to become great or renowned. In fact, most of the individuals who have greatly affected humanity have been simple people who were thrust into circumstances that demanded the hidden qualities of their characters, or they were driven by personal, passionate goals.

Leaders are ordinary people who accept or are placed under extraordinary circumstances that bring forth their latent potential, producing character that inspires the confidence and trust of others. Our world today is in desperate need of such individuals.

In his renowned play Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare wrote, "There is a tide in the affairs of men." With these words, he was expressing his observation that the waves of history have an influence on our lives. It's as if we as individuals and nations are caught up in a tide of providential events.

There have been eras in the history of the world in which multiple tide-like

influences have impacted our civilizations and cultures at nearly the same time. These historical incidents are known as "crossroads of history." I would suggest that we are now at a confluence of historic tides.

The 20th century saw maybe more upsetting advancements than any earlier 100 years, including annihilating conflicts, tremendous new weapons, incalculable cataclysmic events, and lethal infections. It was likewise perhaps the most eccentric, politically fascinating, and progressive of any hundred years ever. Over the most recent a very long while, a generally limited capacity to focus time, the world has encountered numerous noteworthy changes in the domains of science, innovation, medication, and space investigation, as well as many other purported progressions. We should concur that our age lives in a twirling tide of occasions, dreams, commitments, dangers, and changing thoughts regarding the present and what's in store. The states of our reality press the current age to ask once more, "What am I doing here? What is the motivation behind life? For what reason are life and reality how they are?"

What will you be remembered for when you are no more?
