5 Places to Find New Leaders

One of our recent blog posts centered on several qualities that you will find in a real leader. Once you’ve determined what you are looking for in a new leader who might potentially run for office, you need to think about where you will find the people that have those qualities. Here are the best places to start:

1. Your Organization: Most of the people who are working hard to plan rallies or organize efforts to lobby your county commission have leadership qualities such as being able to create and communicate a vision, inspiring people and utilizing their strengths, and uniting people behind a common goal.

2. Small Businesses: Along with having determination and a commitment to hard work (required for campaign life), successful entrepreneurs know how to manage a budget and work with people. Add to that an already established network (i.e., potential donors and volunteers) and a good perspective on how government impacts small business, and you have a leader with a lot of potential.
