We Are Better Together

Leadership is a thing. It has real tangibility and stuff. People know it when they see it. But what exactly are they seeing? What exactly are you bringing when you bring your leadership into play? These nine points will help you discover what you have and what you may be missing.   

Be honest with yourself as you answer these questions. Your answers may be the beginning of becoming that leader you can become with the necessary work and dedication. 

Leadership is often discussed as a "verb." In other words, it is not a just "position." Meaning, that you have to "do" something in that position. The title alone does not make you a leader. You must do something with that leadership "position" or "power." Understanding the necessity of "doing" or action, next comes some questions.

• What exactly do you do in your leadership position?
• What are your responsibilities?
• What exactly are the required skills for your leadership position?
• What is the level of those leadership skills?
• What is your leadership style? Do you have more than one style?
• How do those leadership styles and skills match the team(s) you lead?
• Are you producing or exceeding expected results?
• Are you building cohesive, collaborating teams?
• Are you deliberately develop the talent and leadership in your teams?

Do you have the confidence and skills to communicate powerful messages that build bonds of trust, loyalty, and innovation?

Do you have the confidence, insight, and skills to make the right decisions with the strength and knowledge to stand behind them.  

Do you have the confidence and skills to work with anyone inside or outside your organization to create better win-win wins?

Leadership is not something that happens, except very rarely. Even then, it requires training, honing, direction, and accountability. 

The bad news is, whatever that "thing" is, only 5% of the CEOs in the Fortune 500 were rated as top leaders as appraised by those in their organizations. You see, you can make it to the top of the organization and still not have the stuff of genuine leadership. If you don't "have it," what do you do? Fake it till you make it? Studies show that it is a losing road for most people who take it.
