Leadership


Peter Drucker famously stated that "management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things." Great leaders possess dazzling social intelligence, a zest for change, and above all, vision that allows them to set their sights on the "things" that truly merit attention. Whether you are leading your family, work group, non-profit, or  sports team, successful leaders do things differently. They keep the vison and misson or their organization. They..........
  • communicate
  • build strong teams
  • put relationships first.
  • know that meaning matters.
  • use humor.
  • lead and live with their strengths.
  • are positive (and manage pessimistic thinking)
  • make their own luck
  • bring energy
  • have vision
  • are passionate
  • have integrity
  • inspire achievement
What steps can you start taking today to make your leadership style a success?
Joel Baker said it best: “A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.”
