Eliciting Excellence
|
the essence of leadership… Effective leadership elicits excellence from people. It's not so much about what we do or what we've accomplished as much as it is about who we are and how we do what we do. Effective leadership starts with becoming mindful of how we're perceived by others and acting in a way consistent with who we are; in other words, acting in integrity. If we act the way we feel a leader "should" act, we may initially be effective, but eventually our facade breaks down and our "act" is revealed. In order to be perceived accurately, a leader must communicate cleanly, have a set of values which act as a compass, and be transparent as an individual. A leader who has developed these traits, skills, and competencies can then be effective in developing a team as coach and mentor, influence the thoughts and actions of others, be inspiring, and garner the respect necessary to resolve conflict as it arises. |
