You are focusing on building your leadership skills and competencies, now what? You now must decide how you want to be viewed as a leader, what style will you develop? Do you know someone who has a leadership style that you admire? Are there different traits from different leaders that you want to model? What do you want others to say about you and your leadership style when you are not present? What do you want your employees, your peers and or your superiors or other designated followers to think about you as their leader? These are all important questions to ask yourself. Like anything that is meaningful, you must have a vision; a goal; and a plan to assure you will reach the level or position you desire.
Now, don’t get me wrong, leadership is not necessarily all about positions in the workplace. We are leaders to our children, our family, in our community, and at the workplace. Even, the self employed must lead themselves to success.
Leaders are always developing and supporting others to build leadership skills. Leaders’ help others develop problem solving skills, and help them to become contributors to the cause; home, community or family. Are you helping others grow, by challenging them; by delegating things that are of importance to them? Are you communicating to them that you trust them? You will experience firsthand that delegation with trust goes a long way to gaining immeasurable loyalty and support from others. Do you give your people the latitude to work and act independently?
Leadership skills are necessary in any business or life situation. You may or may not have formal leadership authority, regardless of what you do or where you are providing a role, be it at the office, with the family or in the community; you will be recognized and appreciated by the value of your contributions. People will choose to follow you when they recognize your good leadership skills and attributes.

Is the GOP still a big tent party? Or do you have to believe what party leadership believes to have a voice?

No, he has adopted the Bush line, in all important respects. And the GOP has been trying to shorten the primary since just after Florida, to avoid ‘appearance of division’. Apparently they’d rather just have those not given a voice leave all together.
“Tiny but United!” may be the new battle cry….
No it is not. The GOP has been hijacked by big-government, big-spending, war-mongering GLOBALISTS.
Do conservatives wish to reclaim their party? If so, the time to get behind Ron Paul is now even if you don’t agree the whole of the platform.
Interesting links about the recent GOP leadership antics in Nevada. This should sound an alarm bell for all conservatives.
