HOW DO I KNOW IF I' M CALLED TO LEAD?
This is a question that doesn’t come with a neon sign or a booming voice from the clouds but it is a question worth asking.
Leadership isn't just about having a title or standing in front.
Sometimes, it’s about being the one who shows up, the one who listens, the one who steps forward when others hesitate.
Here are a few signs that might point to a calling to lead:
✅ You notice what needs to be done, and you feelrestless when no one is doing it.
✅ People naturally come to you for direction, even when you're not in charge.
✅ You care deeply about outcomes, people, and purpose,not just control.
✅ You’ve walked through pain or growth that gave you something to offer others.
✅ You're willing to take responsibility, even when it’s not convenient.
✅ You see potential in others and want to help them rise.
Truth is, leadership isn't about being ready, it's about being willing
If you’ve ever asked, “Am I called to lead?”… maybe the better question is:
“Am I willing to serve others with what I’ve been given?”
Leadership starts right where you are. In your home.
In your community, in that room where everyone is waiting for someone to go first.
Maybe that someone is you.
What do you think?
How did you know you were called to lead, or that you weren’t? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
