__+?=Leader
Is there a set formula for being a leader? I would argue, no. President Obama has a degree from Harvard, does that qualify him to be a leader? Then we ask, how about Mother Theresa? She had no degree, but has inspired so many. She had compassion. Is that a requirement? How about Hitler then? No compassion! How about Ghandi? We can go on. Is it money, or power, or status that gives one the opportunity to lead/influence?
Do you have what it takes?
Analogy:
[Ring Ring]
Me: Hello
You: Hi...could you tell me how to get to Vegas?
Me: Sure, where are you coming from?
You: I don't know.
Me: ......
Questions to ask:
What are my weaknesses?
Look in the mirror and do not be hard on yourself, but be realistic.
What are my strengths?
There are different ways to lead, so who are you and which ways can you lead?
Are you leading now (unconsciously or consciously)?
Do you have the capability of it?
YES! But on the road to leadership, it all begins with where we are.
The journey begins…
PLEASE COMMENT ON WHO YOUR FAVORITE LEADER IS AND WHY?
Bibi Netanyahu because he's a mentsch!
ReplyDeleteNo but really, because he has one of the most difficult positions in the world and he has handled it with grace and professionalism even in the worst of times. He is intelligent, inspirational, and stands up for the people of Israel even when it's unpopular.
