What does it take to be a leader? Does leadership means inspiring and motivating people through our speeches or writings? Does it mean bringing ourselves to the top or to the position where we can be ahead of many people? Leadership is more than just motivating people. It’s more than just making people realize their mistakes and make promises to do better. Leadership is transforming people. And that’s not all that, leadership is also ensuring that this transformation will be in completion.
Leaders should not only focus on giving the right direction. They should not even just give the right destination. Leaders should go along with their people in walking the right direction. They should be there to cause acceleration. And when they reach their destination, leaders should put this success into reproduction. Success should not just be achieved, but it should also be multiplied after achievement. These are only some of the principles we always teach on this blog – which we also consider a leadership blog in the Philippines.
There are few leadership blogs in the Philippines that are visible on the Internet, and I’m very thankful and impressed with their intention and dedication to create more leaders and promote our country’s great common goals. Our blog publishes articles on business, entrepreneurship, marketing, management, personal development and leadership. Here, we also apply leadership on business and entrepreneurship. We also tell that marketers should become leaders to provide change and solutions to different consumers. We also emphasize leadership as an important key to effective management. And when it comes to self development, we encourage everyone to learn how to lead themselves. Some of our stories and resources published in this blog are the following:

I know that those articles are still few in numbers. That is why in the next days to come, I’ll give more time in writing and publishing more stories that are related to leadership. There are still many topics that I want to discuss. This includes leadership in my own land – the Philippines. We still have a long way to reaching total economic and social progress. That is why we need more leaders who are not just talented and intelligent, but leaders who can make a significant difference. We need selfless and servant leaders who are not after for the money, fame and self-interest, but for the justice, righteousness and common progress.
We know that corruption in the government is one of the major reasons why most Filipinos are still suffering from poverty. However, self-corruption is also one of the major causes why many of us are poor and are not living a better life. This kind of corruption is even more difficult to overcome because it is a hidden and a silent problem which people don’t usually realize. This is only one of the topics I want to deeply explore and discuss in my next blog posts. So I want to invite you to keep on visiting our blog. If you have any questions on everything about leadership, please feel free to make a comment below. You may also suggest any leadership topic that you want us to write and publish in our next posts. To end this post, please remember that the days that will come to you may be nice or not, but you always have the choice and the power to make them all great! Thank you.
