Leadership is the process by which a person influences others or directs an organization Leadership is inspiring others to know, to do, or to be.
Successful leaders realize they cant do it
alone. They create a shared vision Teamwork can only be sustained when leaders promote mutual reliance. Successful leaders act as a coach They enable others to act They realize there will be bumps in the road, but a team can overcome those obstacles
The best example of a
shared vision is the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team!
Leaders actively seek out
ways to increase choice, providing greater decision-making authority and responsibility. They develop the capabilities of their team and foster selfconfidence through the faith they demonstrate in letting other people lead. Leaders help others learn how to use their skills and talents, as well as learn from their experiences.
We all have weaknesses,
which is why we need each other To address weaknesses, a good leader builds on strength A good team is one which offsets each others weaknesses A good leader puts together the right team, and then lets the play!
If each player executes his or her assignment, we will win! A true leader doesnt just talk team, but truly believes its the teams energy and ideas that make things happen.
The secret to success in life is staying in love.
Its hard to imagine leaders putting in the long hours and hard work without having their hearts in it. The best kept secret of successful leaders is staying in love: in love with leading, the people who do the work, with what their organizations produce, etc. Leadership is NOT an affair of the head. It is an affair of the heart! Remember the Titans - 'Let Him Through'.avi
