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
"Robyn, you presented recently at an ExxonMobil GREF conference in the Woodlands Conference centre. I was the somewhat star-struck Brit that came up to you afterwards to ask about Project Athena. I was very impressed by your story, your enthusiasm and the way you had channelled your experiences into such an effective team building message. When I got home I bought your book and finished reading it last night. It had two immediate impacts on me; it made the talk that you gave come flooding back into my consciousness (which was great); but it also give me inspiration on how to run a workshop I have with my team coming up soon. They are going through a tough time (not like your tough times, but in the context of our work they have too much to do, with too little time, and they are not sure how to start). Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for the pleasure of listening to you, thanks for finding out that I am a "We" thinker (I didn't know that), and thanks for how I know the workshop is going to go."ExxonMobil

"You were enthusiastically received by nearly 1,500 remodelers who were eager to hear what you had to say, then return to the worksite to put your words into action… I wish I could say that all of the over 200 speakers I work with annually were as conscientious and fun to work with as you. "National Association Of Home Builders / Remodelers Council
"Scott Kress addressed our conference with his 90 minute keynote message followed up with a workshop designed to apply his presentation content directly to our work environment. In terms of pure entertainment the presentation was well worth the money we paid. Scott's stories kept us riveted. It was not only what he was saying but it also had a slight physical effect with many of those in attendance. We really did "feel" what Scott was talking to us about…listening, hearing AND seeing it…his presentation completely touched on a few senses!!However what I also found very beneficial were the number of takeaways that were perfect segues into vibrant group discussions immediately after. These discussions led to solid actions that my team and I will be plowing through in the weeks ahead.I will also say that the way Scott Kress delivers his presentation is really first class. He does remind me of the "guy next door"…your friend next door…that has a blockbuster not so next door story for you!In sum…great for the entertainment alone…throw in the group work after and it is a one plus one equals three presentation! Highly recommended. (except to my competitors…oh what the heck they should experience it too…will make us all better!)"
