I believe that Mother Teresa was one of the best leaders of all time because, simply put, she was not a follower. She was a woman who, no matter what the consequences, chose her own path and made her own decisions. She was not afraid to point out flaws in cultures or countries. She was truly pure at heart and was extremely goal oriented. She never became the person who needed to be recognized or praised for her work. She truly worked and accomplished her goals simply because God called her and she felt in her heart it was the right thing to do. She is my leader because I feel that she was truly out for the good of others and her heart was filled with goodness and love. One could be a great leader but have no compassion. We mentioned Hitler's leadership skills and how he could draw the crowd into his speeches. It can be determined that he was a leader with the ability to have millions call his name. Mother Teresa was a great leader who opened her heart to everyone. She not only drew a crowd but she worked for good and loved everyone that she touched. In my profession if I could tap into her ability to be a strong leader yet understanding I will have succeeded.

Mother Teresa is a great leader, even after her death her work goes on through others to help the needy. I see Mother Teresa as a promoter and supporter. Mother Teresa had passion that was contagious, another sign of a great leader. Her words came from the heart and she practiced what she preached, a great role model. Personally I admire Mother Teresa's deep faith and convictions. She gave up material comforts to live a life of service, demonstrating her vision of how we should be there for each other. Mother Teresa is a unique leader whose life was self-sacrificing teaching and supporting.
ReplyDeleteMother Teresa's work humbles us all. She was one of the most selfless people ever to walk the planet. I feel that looking outside of your self is a critical part of being a leader. There are few people who could even hope to achieve what Mother Teresa had in her lifetime. I love your comment "She was a woman who, no matter what the consequences, chose her own path and made her own decisions." My blog is on Elizabeth Cady-Stanton and this is really true about her as well.
