The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Though there are lessons that can be learned about becoming a great leader, most exist inherently in the bellies of those who lead.
It's through a leader's actions - what he or she does and says on a daily basis - that the essence of great leadership becomes apparent.
Great leaders help their people see how they can directly impact the company's objectives and their own personal goals.
Great leaders understand that historical success tends to produce stable and inwardly focused organizations, and these outfits, in turn, reinforce a feeling of contentment with the status quo.
In the past a leader was a boss. Today's leaders must be partners with their people... they no longer can lead solely based on positional power.
True leadership lies in guiding others to success. In ensuring that everyone is performing at their best, doing the work they are pledged to do and doing it well.
Actions, not words, are the ultimate results of leadership.
All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.
I think one of the keys to leadership is recognizing that everybody has gifts and talents. A good leader will learn how to harness those gifts toward the same goal.
Great leaders have a heart for people. They take time for people. They view people as the bottom line, not as a tool to get to the bottom line.
