Ok, I know how that sounds. No, I’m not going to talk about the different types of legs (i.e. – bony, stubby, lanky, and ghostly) 
I believe all who come into leadership, whether by position or circumstance, have to find their leadership legs. Some find them sooner than others, oftentimes because that is the way they are wired. All, however, need to spend some time leading in order to discover who they are as a leader. It is when you find those legs that you begin to be able to take strides to fulfill that which you were meant to do. Some leaders have public confidence and private fear, while others seems to have the opposite – private confidence and public fear. Fighting the extremes and striking a balance is the key to finding the legs to stand on. For example, some leaders stand strong when in front of others, and yet when alone they constantly second-guess themselves. Others have no problem saying just what they are going to say and do when the time comes, and yet when the rubber meets the road, they become indecisive and unsure when challenged.
The key is to allow the Holy Spirit to develop you into the leader He wants you to be – to not try to be someone or something you are not. If you can’t sing to save your life, they most likely God didn’t call you to be a worship pastor – and yet, some people will spend their lives trying to be something that they never will be. There are some leaders that I admire – and can learn from, but I should never try to emulate them. God made me who I am and them who they are – and I should stand on the leadership legs God gave me to stand on.
