Recognizing Leadership Qualities
Leadership comes in many forms. In the family, a father is considered the leader of the home; in team sports, the captain or skipper is considered the leader of the team; while the CEO or manager is considered the leader in a company or organizations. The leaders in all three examples have something in common, which is that they guide, manage, and direct others to accomplish different tasks. In the case of the father, his work is to ensure everybody is taken care of in the family financially and otherwise. That of the captain of a team sport is to ensure the other members of his or her team effectively carry out their jobs, and the team wins every match they play. While the job of the CEO or manager is to ensure all employees do their jobs properly and the company is always making a profit.

Quick View
In general, a person with strong leadership qualities has the capability of making planned and visionary goals and convincing others to pursue these goals. A leader does this by setting specific goals and then motivating others and instilling in them the desire to succeed and achieve those goals. A good leader does not only talk the talk, but he also walks the walk by ensuring he steps up in periods of crisis, and can think creatively in dire situations.
Increase Your Leadership Skills
There are individuals who are what they call natural born leaders; probably due to the fact of where they grew up or their past experiences, they developed strong leadership skills. However, the good thing is that everybody can learn and improve their leadership skills through proper mentoring, guidance, and coaching by individuals who have vast leadership skills. These individuals are known as leadership speakers; they lecture people on various leadership skills and how to become effective leaders. They also help people hone their leadership skills so as to become better leaders.WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
"I have seen dozens of Olympians speak at off-sites in the last 19 years, and Adam was by far the best. He was relevant to our business, and had a fascinating story. He wasn't spewing business dogma. He spoke to the people in the room, leaving a lasting and positive impact that traveled through our office. I have heard nothing but rave reviews from all our employees."- VP Marketing, General Mills
"We were very pleased with Adam Kreek's keynote at FCL's Path to Performance event for 280 of our management employees. Adam took time, in advance, to get to know our organization, meet our leaders, and build relationships with our employees. He also incorporated our organization and its vision into his presentation. This went along way to making the presentation unique and personal-we felt as though it was meant for us.Adam's message about asking ourselves, "Will it make the boat go faster?" is a concept that really resonated with people and has been repeated by our CEO. Another concept that people took from Adam's presentation and have been using is, "we need to focus on the things that we can control and not on the things that we can't".We would recommend Adam Kreek to others because his keynote set a wonderful tone for rolling out our new competency model. Adam inspired our management employees by sharing his own journey on his personal Path to Performance."- Vice-President Human Resources, Federated Co-operatives Limited
“Andy – THANK YOU so much for sharing your message with our team. It was timely and very-well received and fit in nicely with the day’s agenda! We have received lots of positive feedback on your presentation and our staff is already implementing ways to “de-stress” their lives! Thank you for making your message relevant while being FUN and entertaining at the same time!”

"In a word; your man was fantastic, topical, hilarious, poignant, energized and energizing. Oh…. Right…. That's six words There were 275 or so in the audience . I would have said they were 275 people seated for the performance but he had most of them on the floor. Bill's ability to weave his humor with the Rotary message was impressive. I wouldn't simply want to recommend Bill to a future group I would want to insist upon it. He was the man and the message we needed and he delivered. Thanks for all of your help." The Rotary Club
