Spot the Leader
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. John Quincey Adams.
Real leadership is about inspiration – not motivation.
He or she understands that real leadership is not about a position or a title, but an outlook on life; how they see their place in the world and how they relate to those around them.
In an era that demands innovation, persistence and a view longer than the next quarter, the role of a real leader is to foster a work place that unleashes human spirit and creates an environment in which people can excel and thrive.
Real leaders are authentic. They derive their direction and focus from an inner, spiritual purpose. They are very clear about their life’s purpose and direction. They know who they are and speak with their own voice.
They have integrity. They are trustworthy and have a strong moral base. They are totally engaged. Their head and heart are as one.
Real leaders build and support a strong business environment They define their organization on shared ideals and values. At the same time, they are demanding, have high expectations. They give their people the tools to do the job but in return, hold them accountable.
They are committed to personal growth and learning. They are open to reflection and can change strategies if required.
Leading is never easy task, but as our world continues to shrink and competition is hammering so many industries and individuals, we are in serious need of real leaders.
