So where do you start?

When building a leadership pipeline in a company or organization it is wise to first determine what leadership in your environment actually means.
Yes, there are standard definitions of leadership however there are always some competencies, skills or talents that are very particular to how your company operates, its vision and its mission.
Here are just a few that you can consider and then add on your own:
  • Instills Trust
  • Thinks creatively
  • Takes action
  • Achieves results
  • Cultivates Individual Talents
  • Displays Commitment
  • Listens to others

What's the difference between a manager and a leader? My opinion is that a manager deals mostly with processes and systems and builds fires under people's chairs.

A leader may also do this however when it comes to making the fire it comes from igniting the spark in the heart.

Do you agree?

Postiively and successfully,
