Personal Philosophy of Leadership.
Most people in business have their own opinion on the important skills, values and characteristics that make a good leader. Many books and articles have been written on the subject.
There are numerous definitions of leadership, my personal choice is “leadership is a privilege that should not be entered into lightly, the ability to lead, inspire, direct and influence people to follow in the achievement of a common vison, objectives and goals.”
Leaders are vision creators and this is not limited to a political or business situation. At one point in our lives, everyone attempts leadership by influencing or persuading others. The situation may be in a business, education, political organization, relationships and families.
In mentoring leaders I ask the mentee to reflect on the “role models” who have influenced their career, either in business or their wider community, then draw from each “leadership tools” to grow their own “leadership toolbox”.
I add to my leadership toolbox weekly, when I meet business leaders and other influencers in my network. It is a never ending process.
