"As you grow in leadership, your weaknesses will be revealed to you. In the development process, that thing you feel others are getting wrong that you can't do, you will see yourself falling for it. Leadership training runs under the exercise of temptations and trials. The pressures from these tough battles bring upon you much heat. You may see yourself do things you believed you couldn't do. You will see how weak your strength is and how poor you are in discipline.
You will be asking yourself: 'why is my life going opposite of how I want it?' This is your weakness crying for greater strength. In the development stage of leadership, you will be exposed to all the desires of your flesh. You could be seen as a person of discipline by many people around you but within you, you know that you are in a private war against indiscipline. When you grow through the heating stage of leadership, the aim is to strengthen you and deal with your weaknesses. Your weaknesses will be transmuted to strengths. Knowing your weaknesses brings you to a point where you understand the one single quality of leadership that helps you to learn. HUMILITY.
It is humility that makes you know that you are not actually a leader, but a follower learning from God. In your training to grow as a leader, you have to submit yourself to God and in doing this, you must be ready to remove self and give up the desires of your flesh. Then, you will be transformed by the true way of life. Leadership demands the cleaning of your spiritual and mental dirts. Leadership development is the process of removing 'self' and thereafter, leadership becomes to you an opportunity to give life to others."
