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.

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

“Thanks so much for delivering our keynote address last week to open the 84th Annual Meeting of the West Virginia Credit Union League. It was the first time in our long history that we didn't hold the meeting in-person and it was our first venture into the world of virtual meetings. A lot was riding on the opening presentation and we couldn't be happier with the message you delivered. Not only was your story captivating, it was truly an inspirational message that resonated with all of our folks. Immediately after the meeting and continuing a week later, we're hearing compliment after compliment on your remarks. One CEO shared this with me: "I was inspired by Dave Sanderson’s presentation and his recollection of his Mom’s words that propelled him in that moment and throughout his life. It resonated with me because my Dad never allowed my sister or I to say ‘Life’s not fair’. His response was yes, you are correct life’s not fair so what are you going to do to make the situation better." Many very similar responses have been received. It was a real pleasure working with you. No doubt you've delivered a similar message many times since that fateful day in 2009, yet your message was fresh and moving as if it had just occurred. Thank you for doing such a professional job for us.”

The feedback on your presentation from the attendees was overwhelmingly positive. You are a true Canadian success story and no doubt inspired our audience with your grit, determination and infectious enthusiasm. I have attended many conferences and have listened to far too many 'motivational' speakers. Although there are many interesting public speakers and 'coaches', it was refreshing to hear someone who, not only 'talks the talk', but rather someone who has truly accomplished many significant goals and who has 'walked the walk'."Quelmec/McLarens Toplis Canada
