THE PIONEER LEADER

Pi o neer: A person who helps create new ideas, methods. Someone who is one of the first. To prepare for others to follow.

Innovative Leadership

As a pioneer leader you serve as a beacon for those who will come after you. As a pioneer you pave the way, clear the brush and blaze the trail for a new way of doing things. To be the first, to explore and to be the originator of a new era in your organization, team or social group is no small order. There are risks involved. But trust that there is no greater calling than that of leading. The world needs more people like you. It needs trailblazers of truth.

If you are first, who provides the light for you? How do you make sure that you can see the path that you are trying to clear for others? This is where the work begins. There will be no one to tell you what to do or how it should be done. You must provide that light for yourself. You will find it within.

To prepare, ask yourself – What is my personal code of ethics? What are the virtues that I must uphold no matter the circumstance? What do I value most in my life? What happens when my virtues and values come into conflict with the new path I am creating? Which will I sacrifice?

As a pioneer leader you will need:

  1. A strong Will – The part of you that has declared to be different, the part of you that has chosen to be awake in your actions every day, and has decided to be a man or women of virtue. Your Will is something that needs to be exercised daily. Your Will is a reflection of self-discipline and can be conditioned, or ignored.
  2. Love for what you do – Your Love of truth and calling is what will energize you to do the work you have set out to do. It is what will keep you going when you are unsure which way to turn.
  3. Courage to endure – There is no greater calling than that of leader; there is also no task more difficult. Every day, you may want to quit. Courage is what will propel you forward; it will lead you into the unknown.

The world needs more people like you. Companies need more people like you. It is the Pioneer Leader that will shine a light ahead for those who follow.
