Five matters of leadership you need to address

"Then he [Elisha] arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." ~ 1 Kings 19:21

In order to accomplish tasks successfully, it is essential to have the right team around you. This is why effective leaders are always seeking out quality individuals. However, the individuals you attract are often a reflection of your own qualities rather than just your preferences. Typically, you tend to draw in people who share similar traits with you. Just like Elisha mirrored Elijah, desiring a double portion of Elijah's spirit. Your own character will attract similar individuals. While it is possible to seek out individuals who differ from you, it is important to understand that these individuals may not naturally gravitate towards you. If you find yourself dissatisfied with the type of people you are attracting, it might be time to work on self-improvement. It is crucial to be mindful of certain tendencies within yourself and address them when necessary:
1) Arrogance: People are unlikely to follow someone who displays a superior attitude.
2) Insecurity: If you are not confident in yourself, it will affect how others perceive you.
3) Unpredictability: If others cannot anticipate your behavior, they may disengage.
4) Perfectionism: While excellence is respected, setting unattainable standards can deter others.
5) Pessimism: Nobody wants to be around someone who always sees the negative side.
These five traits can be detrimental to your leadership effectiveness, so it is wise to surround yourself with individuals who can identify any negative traits and help you improve as a leader.
