So, what qualities distinguishes a great leader? How is leadership evaluated? Why bother learning what leadership entails? Here are my thoughts.
- Leadership, in my opinion, is not synonymous with being a celebrity. Leading is simply influencing, and by this standard, all pompous ideas and ideologies fade.
- All good leaders welcome criticism and teaching.?Unteachable leaders breed narcissistic behavior with a caring front.?History has taught us that such leaders do not last.
- The number one factor that makes simple people great leaders is that they know what they want to accomplish. They have a specific goal in life. It is for this reason that they influence those around them to achieve higher highs than others. Purpose drives people to conquer difficult times and challenges.
- The legacy one leaves behind is how one is judged as a leader. We can all recall at least one mentor who had a significant impact on our lives.?Legacy is remembered in the hearts of those who have been surrounded by?greatness, inspiring others to follow in their footsteps.
