A leader initiates most of the time to make things happen; accepts challenges and stirs his (her) inner strengths and resources to get it done! Such a leader has a full range of knowledge, skills and abilities to meet challenges head on without fear or favor..with resolution and enduring strength. He (She ) accepts that their challenges may take time to be resolved and overcome. It may also take everything they’ve got. This fuels their resolve even more.
We are born to lead. Whoever we are and whatever we do. We are leading the greatest and most important being, our lives. We are where we are because of the decisions we made ie how we have led our lives. Be accountable and own up. Blame no one. Just ask ourselves everyday “how can we do better today?” everyday! Set our minds right every morning when we first waking moments and the rest of the day will take care of itself.
At work, a leader manages processes and leads people. He (She) does it in a balance way between the two critical roles to function as an effective leader. Be clear about this, there is a huge difference between managing and leading. Managing is directive whereas leading is non-directive; eg ensuring compliance is managing and coaching people to perform better is leading.
Be the leader we all are meant to be. Break out from status quo. Be different. Innovate even in leading people. Most of all, lead ourselves excellently.
