I hear four questions asked about leadership often
. This article gives a
short answer to each of these important questions.
Why Does Leadership Matter?
Parents universally hope that their children develop leadership qualities.
They know that leaders are people who are effective in what they do, are
respected by others, and typically rewarded for those skills in a variety of
ways. It is in these formative years that, through our parents, we first see
leadership as desirable and important.
All of these experiences and thoughts help us define why leadership matters
it matters because leaders make a difference and can shape the future. It
matters because leaders are valued and valuable. In everyones mind
leadership, especially when it is good, matters.
What is a Leader?
A leader is a person who sees something that needs to be done, knows that they
can help make it happen, and gets started.
A leader sees opportunity and captures it.
A leader sees a future that can be different and better, and helps others see
that picture too.
A leader knows they cant do it alone.
A leader is a coach.
A leader is an encourager.
A leader views change as their ally.
A leader is willing to take risks today for something better tomorrow.
A leader is a learner.
A leader is a communicator.
A leader is a coordinator.
A leader is a listener.
A leader takes a long view letting their vision keep their daily steps on
track.
A leader is passionate.
A leader motivates and inspires.
A leader values results.
A leader cares about more than results though; she cares about those who are
following her lead.
A leader makes a difference in the lives of others.
A leader is all of these things and much more.
Are People Born Leaders?
Lets examine that difference of opinion...
When people describe someone as a born leader they typically mean that the
person is motivating, a good communicator and charismatic. And it is true;
some people are blessed at birth with more natural ability in these ways.
But leaders can be great with different innate characteristics as well.
And there is no single small skill set that defines the perfect leader or
guarantees success.
Everyone is born with a unique set of natural abilities. And all of us can
develop skills and styles to complement those natural abilities.
Who is a Leader?
This question on the surface is the easiest question Ive asked so far. After
all, Ive already given some examples.
People in certain roles are leaders, whether theyve studied for the role,
like a doctor, lawyer, teacher or minister got elected to the role, like a
county councilman, mayor, Senator or President... or worked up the through the
organization like a supervisor, manager, Vice President or CEO.
Leaders arent leaders because of a job title.
Leaders are leaders because they lead.
We were all born to lead, in our own way.
We may not be the Chairman of the Board. We may not be the person on the
stage.
We may not lead with oratory or flair.
We may lead by compassion.
We may lead by example.
We all can lead.
We all have the ability to be remarkable leaders.
Leadership isnt about position.
Leadership isnt about power.
Leadership is about potential your potential.
You are a leader. Claim and believe this to be true, for it is. Stake your
claim and make a difference in the world around you.
Your opportunities for leadership are endless. The rewards are boundless.
Where will you lead?
