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.
Most Requested Leadership Speakers
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
"Sharon Wood Spoke to over five hundred RE/MAX sales people at a sales rally. I have helped organize these events for seven years, and she had the greatest positive response we've have ever had. She left the audience feeling ordinary people can do extraordinary things, and they were as charged up as if they had gone up Everest themselves." ReMax
"We have used Shawn globally to deliver workshops for our Managing Director and Executive Director audiences (both individuals and intact teams); as an estimate he has presented to close to 1000 people at this level at UBS. We are pretty selective about whom we would put in front of this level of audience but Shawn never disappoints. The feedback from the seminars he has run for us is amongst the best across any of the training courses we deliver (from memory over 95 per cent of this audience would recommend the training to peers). Shawn has partnered exceptionally well with UBS to tailor his materials and research to our needs. He is always open to feedback and ideas."UBS
"Preparation and execution were flawless."Thrifty Car Rental
"We are pleased to say that Susan exceeded our expectations and provided an excellent presentation. Susan's discussion on the Seven Summit experience, culminating with climbing Mt. Everest, was presented in a fashion of setting a seemingly impossible vision and then breaking down the task into manageable steps and activities. Susan integrated the highs and lows of making progress and experiencing setbacks and rewarding experience of maintaining focus on your goals, hard work and perseverance. The feedback from our customers was over-whelming positive citing both an entertaining and aspiration experience. From our perspective, Susan exceeded what we expected — being able to kickoff our global customer symposium by drawing the connection of Survival of the Fittest with industry challenges and strategic objectives. Susan has the highest recommendation from us and would be expected to deliver an excellent presentation for future events."
