One of the inner secrets of leadership is that they learn to return and rebuild. Sometimes, you have to go back to all those people that laughed at you, to those who criticized you and to those who said you would never make it. Yes, it's difficult, but leadership requires us to be generous in heart.

I did this. I went back again to people who discouraged me and to those that laughed at me. I told them, "I made it, I have achieved my goals, and now I want to help you do the same." There is a time to leave them behind. When your destiny is exploding in your heart, you've to walk away from the negative voices. As a responsible leader, you've to ignore those who would tell you to abort.

Legitimate leaders will return to individuals exact same people to provide them a chance. This is a large test. It requires Love and FORGIVENESS. You see, real leaders aren't selfish. They aren't in it for number one. They have a vision, commitment, heart and love that's larger than themselves. Otherwise, they wouldn't be leaders.

So, look around at those who are holding you down. You might have to walk away from them - mentally and emotionally - so that you can become the leader than God intended you to be. That's only for a season. True leaders are always ready and eager to forgive and share. Those people folks who hold you back again, who criticize, and who laugh at you aren't evil folks. They're within the dark. They can't see.

But, if you're a leader, you have a candle! Take that candle back to them. Return to them. Let them have the benefit of your light.

It's not enough to just return; you have to rebuild. I quote the Bible because it is one of the world's greatest repositories of wisdom and life. And, the Bible says a great deal about rebuilding. For example, Isaiah 61:4 gives a beautiful description of true leaders: They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.

Think of that! One of the things that mark true leaders is that they rebuild and restore what has been destroyed.
