Keys to Leadership that Breed Success - Every Time

Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the needs of those who would be affected by it.

~Marian Anderson

Your effectiveness as a leader will be tied solely to this statement made by Marian Anderson. Leaders know that to lead well, you must understand the people you are leading. It is therefore imperative that you take time to invest in those people. To understand not only their needs, but how they view you and your leadership style. And once discerned, to use this knowledge to connect with your people.

This requires a level of maturity that cannot be taught. This requires a level of humility that cannot be understated. Most importantly, it requires leadership skills that cannot be underestimated.

To understand the needs of others requires that you stop and think. Stop AND think. Stop thinking about yourself and how important your role is in the process AND start thinking of how you will connect with the needs and emotions of those whom you will lead. In so doing you will meet your people where they are and NOT where you want them to be. In addition, you will attract and validate their loyalty while adding unlimited power to your messages.

"The leader has to be practical and a realist, yet must talk the language of the visionary and the idealist."

~Eric Hoffer

Remember, it is your outcome to take those that follow from where they are to where they want to be. To motivate them to achieve results beyond what they thought possible. To create synergy for the vision and the logical reasons behind the pursuit. Therefore, keep your people as your priority. Realize that leadership is a servant's role. You are the servant. Serve your people well.

Re: Business Women Peer Mentoring Spotlight - Hi Everyone, Gosh, I REALLY appreciate your concrete feedback. This was far more than I expected and I'm glad you said what you thought straight out. Each of you have shared something of value and I want to take some more time to think and really go over what each of you have said. However, I can see there are some things I need to change right away. What an interesting point about a NEW program perhaps making people think they are guinea pigs! This is NOT what I want to convey! It's funny how we can see some things so clearly in others while not always seeing it for ourselves! I must admit there are a few things I've been meaning to change (like my bio which is very outdated). Obviously, these things need to be higher on my priority list. You caught me like the plumber who puts his clients first and doesn't get around to fixing his own tap! As far as my target market, I do feel quite strongly about working with Women Leaders and doing Leadership Coaching with them. It's non-negotiable in my books. In my Executive Coaching training, the terms "Leaders" and "Executives" are interchangable. To me, an Executive is a Leader and so is the Business Woman or Entrepreneur who is CEO of her own business. I love working with decision makers! What I did learn is that I need to avoid opening up the Leadership term beyond what I described above. I'm also wondering if there is a misunderstanding with the general public as to what Leadership Coaching really is. Leadership Coaching is all about developing your leadership skills, both as a people manager and in more effectively running and growing the business. There is ALWAYS room for growth in some way. As well, sometimes, we just need a sounding board to clarify what our next BEST step is. In fact, if a woman thinks she has nothing to work on, then we aren't a good Client/Coach fit anyway. How can she grow if she doesn't see the value of expressing ALL of the great ability within her? How can her company grow if she doesn't see the value of strategic planning for the next best level? Thanks again to you all! I will go back to my website and really question whether I am conveying the right message. I got more than I bargained for in this Spotlight... you generously offered way more than I was asking. I think we could be on to something great for the Forum. Now it's time to let someone else have the spotlight. It would be great if everyone took a turn! In gratitude, Tami
Re: Has anyone a good idea to sort this problem? - HI Michelle....... Keys and cellphones always end up at the bottom of the purse! That happens to me and other woman most of the time, for sure. So I would say put it in the side zipper area inside of the purse. Most Purses have that compartment. That usually helps it separate from all the other bulky things we carry in our purses, like make-up- bag, day minders, hand santiizers (whatever!)
