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 am the CEO of a nuclear operations concern of the U.S. Department of Energy at its Hanford Site in Washington state. Our job is safely managing 56 million gallons of high-level radioactive waste. The work is complex, hazardous, strictly controlled and highly regulated. It's critical that we work as a team and watch out for each other. This is why I brought in Dan Clark as a nationally recognized expert in Safety and Team Building. Prior to his presentation Dan met with several members of my team - both management and labor - and did his homework. He also arrived early to the presentation so he could mingle and talk with employees. I spoke first and Dan listened intently to my presentation. He then used the information from my talk and all the information he had gathered to tailor his talk to our team. Dan really hit the mark. He touched many of my employees' concerns and issues, and he did it with passion, humor and exuberance. I have never seen our 1,600 employees more engaged in a presentation. I know we are now a safer and more unified team because of Dan and his much needed message. I highly recommend Dan Clark for any business that is trying to enhance teamwork and instill safety in its workforce."URS Corporation
