Leadership is Action, Not Position | CIO Look Magazine

Leaders are those who inspire themselves and others to do the right things at the right time. They build an inspiring vision, set direction and create something new which is capable of changing the gridlocked beliefs. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go and “win” as a team or an organization; and the approach is quit dynamic, exciting, and inspiring.


Yet, while leaders set the direction, they are also expected to use management skills guiding their people to the right destination, in a smooth and efficient way. Leaders must lead by an example along with overriding vision and purpose. They possess an unquenchable passion for successfully implementing the vision of the company regardless of the disapproval of those individuals who fail to see the bigger picture.


Productive leadership shows optimism and provides positive energy for staff. Leaders are helpful by nature and truly concerned about others’ well-being. Leaders find answers to challenges and are the first to reassure and inspire workers when things do not go according to plan. Leaders find ways for staff to work together and achieve maximum results in an efficient and effective manner. Optimistic leadership sees where the company is headed and plans the steps needed to get there. Visualizing what is possible, following trends in the industry, and taking risks to grow the business are all required of leaders.

 

Great leaders never quit. They embrace and overcome any obstacles, personal or otherwise, that stand in their way. Thus, they need to do the necessary work on themselves to prevent anything from holding them and eliminate habits that are keeping from being the best leader possible”.
