Who do you

think is a good

leader?

A unique ability that sets humans apart from animals is self-awareness and the ability to choose how we respond to any stimulus.

Leadership
An influence process directed toward groups goal achievement.

Leadership is firstly the ability to motivate self, and secondly, to motivate others.
It is the ability to obtain the maximum support and effort from the group. It is the ability to see a problem, recognize it, plan a solution and execute that solution without having to be prompted by someone else. Leadership is the lifting of a persons higher plans, the raising of a persons performance to a higher standard and the building of a persons personality beyond its normal limitations. Leadership is the ability to make people want to do things they would not ordinarily think of doing, and the ability to make people want to accept on their own, the objective of the enterprise of which they are a part.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT LEADER

Values

Attitude

Vision

Responsibility

Greatness is not determined by what is achieved, But by what is overcomed.

-Yehuda Berg

Leadership: The five things that make the biggest difference Lead Authors: Wendy Brooks, Kerry Johnson
Principle One Leadership can be taught and learned
successful leadership can be observed, described and that core principles and practices can be distilled in a form which can be taught and learned.

Principle Two The Core of Leadership

Setting a clear and compelling strategic direction Building momentum and capability/capacity to get there - human, organisational systems and processes and metrics Balancing near term and longer term results

Principle Three Leadership is contextual The key is that effective leaders are skilled in interpreting the context and knowing how to adapt and prioritise.
Principle Five Leadership at all levels Leadership, as described in our point of view, is the key to building high performing organisations, which have the ability to adapt and sustain performance over the short and long term.

Principle Four Credibility and Integrity, the Bedrock of Leadership The foundation (or bedrock) of leadership is that of personal credibility and integrity. It has always been an essential foundation of leadership, but has probably assumed greater global significance, during the latter part of the 20th century to today. People will follow leaders that they trust they will even forgive them shortcomings.

Great followers make great leaders

No matter what a leader does, if followers dont respond, then the leader fails.
