In Part I of New Mountains to Climb, we compared mountains with challenges and needs of our community. The more mountains we climb, the more people we serve.
But most of us don't wake up in the morning and decide to climb a mountain range! So how do so many people get served?
Good leadership.
According to International President Bob Corlew's theme paper, "Leadership is vision, knowledge, drive, confidence, optimism, openness, humanity, and caring. It is direction and guidance that inspires dedication, confidence, and achievement. Leadership is required to inspire and bring out the best in people..... A leader must inspire others, and instill passion and direction to an individual or group of individuals."
As we lead, we inspire others to learn and become leaders. The more leaders, the more mountains we can climb. "One key to our future is succession planning -- ensuring an adequate pool of knowledgeable, capable, enthusiastic, forward-thinking Lions leaders who will guide and support us for years to come."
"To climb to the top of a mountain, you need the right tools. You also need the right tools to become an effective leader."
LCI has many different training programs and resources to help us get the training we need to be that leader to take members over the next summit. If you haven't already, check out the list of Webinars LCI has to offer or the Lions Learning Center. Our District also offers training and attending the Mid-Winter Conference or Multiple District Convention might be just what you need to climb the next mountain. Remember, the more mountains we climb, the more people we can serve. #Lions100
