A Leadership Revolution
There are many theories on what makes a leader great and even more models on how to become one. Regardless of the method or methodology, there is one element common throughout great leadership.
Great leadership is the power to ignite the spark of inspiration within others. It is about creating the opportunity for someone to feel compelled to take a step outside their comfort zone to be or do something that they haven’t previously been able to. Leaders have the ability to trigger in others the wonder of transformation. To redefine one’s belief in what is possible.
A leader with a high degree of emotional intelligence wants to get things done by igniting and inspiring people from within. Such leaders are able to engage the interest and motives of others to create conditions that enable them to succeed.
Now imagine the revolution if everyone could inspire in others a transformational moment in time; one in which they unleashed someone else’s inner super power to conquer what they once deemed the impossible — to tackle a new issue with confidence and passion with the feeling that they have conquered the world. Transforming “what if” into “what is”. Moving from “I can” to “I have”. Now imagine that is not just people in formal leadership positions.
Consider this a calling to all people to engage, encourage and inspire in others the opportunity to become more. That would prove an incredible achievement for individual, team and organization.
What do you hope to ignite with your leadership revolution?
