What Is Leadership?
This discussion is centered around the idea of leadership in general, understanding what it really is. True leadership extends beyond mere authority and titles. Leadership extends to the realm of influence. The conventional notion of leadership is a hierarchy or a path to a higher title. True leadership focuses on the impact and influence that a leader has on those around them.
Key Points:
- True leadership is not confined to job titles or positions in an organizational chart. It is more about the influence exerted on others.
- The measure of leadership is not in the authority or power one holds. Leadership depends on the ability to positively impact and influence those around them.
- Leadership is demonstrated not only in formal roles. It is also demonstrated in everyday interactions. This includes being a volunteer or taking on family responsibilities.
- A leader’s impact on the atmosphere and environment shows their true leadership capability. It can be positive or negative. This shows the importance of positive influence.
- The distinction between skill and leadership is this: Being commended for skills or performance on a platform is different from being recognized for leadership qualities exhibited Monday through Friday.
- True leadership is about influencing and guiding others. It's about doing this irrespective of being in the spotlight or holding a prominent position.
- As a leader evolves, they often shift focus from seeking recognition. They genuinely guide and care for others. Personal growth in leadership is about caring for and guiding others, not seeking recognition.
