Leadership is NOT

March 6, 2019

Leadership is NOT about holding a position with a fancy title in an organization.
Leadership is NOT about being in charge and telling people what to do.
Leadership is NOT about having a loud voice and being right all the time.
Leadership is NOT about finding weakness in others and shifting accountability.

I will call you a leader if you stay relevant to the people you serve and work with, by engaging them regularly, listening and validating their needs carefully and creating a culture of collaboration by working on building trust and respect with everyone involved.

I will call you a leader if you work on empowering employees who have the needs, answers, knowledge and expertise in their field to make the decisions on how to get their job done, and done efficiently to best serve the need of our customers. You believe that best idea must always win regardless of your position, background and experiences.
