Did you know that your career success is based on your
mastery of one important skill?
Failure to apply your leadership power usually prevents you from
realizing success in the workplace.
The organisational chart may not show you as a leader but you can act
like a leader if you choose to do so.
Leadership power is the primary cause of successful outcomes, great
achievements and evolutionary progress.
Most people think only executives, presidents and generals possess
any leadership power but the facts reveal another truth - power is held
by those who know where to obtain it and how to share it with others.
The problem with many of us is this - we need to learn how to empower
our skills, enhance our competence and energize our leadership power.
Power Principle 1 - Invest in your Infrastructure!
Your infrastructure contains the elements that will make leadership
power available to you. You must invest the time and effort needed to
build a strong, capable infrastructure.
- Element-1 - MODEL SUCCESS - study the leadership methods of
great leaders
- Element-2 - BE EAGER TO LEARN NEW THINGS - purchase leadership
skills coaching, training courses, materials or books
- Element-3 - APPRECIATE YOURSELF - start recording your thoughts,
feelings, desires and experiences in a journal or diary
- Element-4 - HARMONIZE YOUR MIND - meet with like-minded people
who want to improve their leadership skills, talents and behaviours
- Element-5 - BE WILLING TO SERVE - begin to act like a leader by
serving the needs of others through community service, teaching or
by taking responsibility for removing someone else's burdens
Power Principle-2 - See Hope in Visionary Ways!
You can inspire people to act out of their fears or hopes. It is your
choice - you can use worry or faith to make people respond to your
leadership.
However, I put it to you, which path do you think is more effective,
more likely to lead to good things? History has shown us that the best
course of action is always based on hope, faith or love.
Leaders must craft a vision of what hope will look like when it
becomes a tangible reality. Your statement of hope should include
something tangible, specific, measurable, attainable, realistic,
hopeful, enthusiastic and empowering.
There are many examples of visionary leadership at its most inspiring
best. Your vision should strive to be positive and vivid to others and
worthy of pursuit by them, otherwise they might not be moved to follow
your lead.
