Do People Need Title to Lead?

People believe they must have a certain title to lead.  In reality, there is no need to possess a specific title to exert influence and become a successful leader.  Such people might wait for a more senior leader to empower them with authority, instead of building relationships with others to influence naturally. These people will only follow within the boundaries of a leader’s job description.  However, people can move beyond the boundaries of their position by building respectful relationships and valuing each person as a unique individual who gives something positive to the organization.

if a person can inspire people to do something they thought they couldn’t do, demonstrate how the impossible is possible, believe in someone when they didn’t believe in themselves, then he is already a leader.

The person’s qualities and achievements will encourage people to follow him. His contribution to other people to develop their skills and grow them will propel him to be regarded as prospective leader.

Potential leaders do not need to be at the top of their organization in order to develop relationships with others and motivate people to work with them.  Leaders should be  able  to  exert  their  influence  from  anywhere  in  the organization.

People don’t set out to be great leaders, they set out to make a difference. It’s never about the role or the title, but about influencing others, helping and supporting them.
