LEADERSHIP IN ROTARY.
Leadership begins with attitude which we all have
as Rotaractors basing on the positive friends,
leaders, mentors that we all have. looking at
the attitude Rotaractors have it will surely push
you to look further into who they really are, not
only do they have the attitude when it comes to
service, but also when it comes to the youth
leadership trainings that groom and mould them
into professionals, possessing energetic and
effective leadership.
However, someone will ask, how do I become the
best leader?

Before I started out in Rotary I would always hear and see
people support and vote those they say know how to speak,
know how to interact with others and those that exhibit the
highest level of confidence. But when I joined Rotary it was
a different story. I was amazed to see to it that everyone in
their different capacities is given the opportunity to stand
out and develop their leadership skills and in the end they all
become efficient leaders.
As I became fonder of what Rotary is all about, I discovered
something amongst these leaders and that’s the Attitude.
Not the arrogant and disrespectful behaviour but the settled
way of thinking and doing things. Most may say not everyone
can become a leader but I believe, each and every one of us
has a small seed within even when we look like followers and
that’s leadership. You simply need to get this seed in the
right environment for it to grow.
The first thing that I will point out is letting
that seed within you grow within your club,
it all starts with small things like welcoming a
guest with that you go on becoming someone
better and outspoken. You do not have to wait
for problems, the bad conditions of the club
to boast your leadership. Act when you feel
your actions will make a change in the club
and the community as a whole.
Change your attitude and your mind set
towards things, look at things differently. In
short, look at the world with a new eye. Be
empathetic towards others.
• Discover who you are as a person. Someone
always tells me that we as people we shall
never stop discovering who we truly are
because our interests as humans keep on
changing. Hence use the abilities that you
have at the moment to serve humanity.
• Serve others any chance that you get.
Leadership and greatness begin with service.
My mother always says, ‘’ the small things
that you do are always noticed.” When you do
what is right, you feel good about yourself and
you develop a sense of pride and integrity.
Once you join rotary your beliefs about life, your
perception about how things should be done,
how people should be treated and how the world
should be made better all change completely. By
the time you decide to move on to rotary there is a
lot you have in store for the community out there.
ROTARY CONNECTS THE WORLD.
