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
“I just wanted to personally convey, on behalf of Suncor, how pleased we were with the "triple crown" speaking engagement you did for us. All the individuals who heard you speak found your presentations to be both engaging and relevant. In fact, your talks have created such a "buzz" around the company that individuals who didn't get a chance to hear you speak have been emailing me and asking if I can provide them with your presentation or speaking notes. Is there anything I can provide to these individuals? I would appreciate any assistance you can provide in this regard. Through my participation in the Oil Sands' 3 day Journey to Zero Future State Visioning workshop that straddled our President's Awards, I know that your messages hit a mark with the workshop participants. On Tuesday and Wednesday following your Monday night address, many of the participants incorporated your messages (courageous self leadership was a favorite) when they reported back to the plenary session on the work of their respective breakout teams.” Suncor Calgary
"Everything about our time with Mike Staver was perfect. The message was appropriate for our needs, well presented, and well received. The agents have asked when he is coming back! For me personally having Mike present to the company has been at the top and of my list of goals since I first heard him speak at the LeadingRE conference a number of years ago. Always special for me!"
