Being a great leader does not mean having to win at any cost.
There is a difference between being a great do-er and a great leader. Great leaders grow and inspire others to do the doing so they can focus on higher level activities like breaking political log jams, getting resources for their team, and setting aside time to think about the big picture.
Great leaders know:
- That great results come from building their team into a highly effective tribe
- When to step in and guide their tribe, and when to let the tribe struggle to find its own answers
- How to prepare for meetings, speeches and presentations that engage the creativity and motivation of their audience
- The importance of developing their leadership presence so them come across with authenticity and confidence
- How to brand themselves and make sure their value is known
- How to recruit a network of mentors and contacts
- When to stay in an organization, and when to leverage their network find a new position
Being a great leader doesn’t stop at the office. It encompasses your whole life. The great leader of today:
- Leverages his or her relationships to create success at work, and a sustainable life at home
- Nurtures his or her creativity and broad interests outside their chosen field
- Take active steps to manage his or her stress, health, and mental well being
- Gives back to his or her community
- Has a life long commitment to personal growth and development
- Seeks to make an impact on the world
