What makes a Leader?\u00a0 Some perspectives need to be in place…<\/p>\n
I start with this one, but it is not necessarily the first or most important concept. It might be, but I don’t really know. You might think it is and you may not.<\/p>\n
Leadership is not about you.<\/strong><\/p>\n Leaders are not in it for themselves.\u00a0 This does not mean that there are no personal rewards for leaders, but that the main focus of a true leader is not on themselves and what they can gain.\u00a0 A leader looks to make progress in several areas and the premiere one is not themselves.\u00a0 They may look to progress a movement or a cause.\u00a0 They may look to advance understanding of an issue. They may seek to encourage others to excel.\u00a0 All of these can be part of a leaders motivation, but self aggrandizement should not be at the top.<\/p>\n People who move into a leadership position with an attitude that they will\u00a0 reap personal rewards may be in for a shock. The rewards are great as you see the team succeed or plans unfold with success.\u00a0 But leadership is often a tough, thankless job.\u00a0 Leaders are often misunderstood or thought to be focused in the wrong direction.\u00a0 Those who disagree with them may become more vocal.\u00a0 Anyone who thinks that leaders have a great job have not been in their shoes.<\/p>\n Leaders are “others” focused.\u00a0 They look for ways to promote others.\u00a0 To help others succeed.\u00a0 To move others along in their quest for leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What makes a Leader?\u00a0 Some perspectives need to be in place… I start with this one, but it is not necessarily the first or most important concept.
