I love leadership and leadership principles.  There are many things that leadership IS, but many things that leadership IS NOT as outlined below:<\/p>\n

Leadership has nothing to do with seniority or one\u2019s position in the hierarchy of a company. Too many talk about a company\u2019s leadership referring to the senior most executives in the organization. They are just that, senior executives. Leadership doesn\u2019t automatically happen when you reach a certain pay grade. Hopefully you find it there, but there are no guarantees.<\/p>\n

Leadership has nothing to do with titles. Similar to the point above, just because you have a C-level title, doesn\u2019t automatically make you a \u201cleader.\u201d In all of my talks I stress the fact that you don\u2019t need a title to lead. In fact, you can be a leader in your place of worship, your neighborhood, in your family, all without having a title.<\/p>\n

Leadership has nothing to do with personal attributes. Say the word \u201cleader\u201d and most people think of a domineering, take-charge charismatic individual. We often think of icons from history like General Patton or President Lincoln. But leadership isn\u2019t an adjective. We don\u2019t need extroverted charismatic traits to practice leadership. And those with charisma don\u2019t automatically lead.<\/p>\n

Leadership isn\u2019t management. This is the big one. Leadership and management are not synonymous. You have 15 people in your downline and P&L responsibility? Good for you, hopefully you are a good manager. Good management is needed. Managers need to plan, measure, monitor, coordinate, solve, hire, fire, and so many other things. Typically, managers manage things. Leaders lead people.<\/p>\n

This forum contains miscellaneous leadership documents that I have created or have been involved with presenting.  This forum will continue to grow as I delve more into it and gain more experience…<\/p>\n<\/div>
