Great Leaders Inspire
The film clip below shows how a great leader can inspire his team to give everything they have to win. To be a great leader, you must be able to lead in a way that motivates others willingly towards a common goal or vision.
Many people confuse managing staff with fear as leadership. You can motivate people with fear by threatening their job or making pay cuts, but the results will be short-lived and the environment and culture will be unstable with limited respect.
Great leaders know how to earn respect, they know when to be firm and when to be fair. They know how to empower and grow others for greater leverage, they don’t micro manage.
Some leaders are just born leaders and can inspire and move people with little effort, but leadership is a skill and can be learned.
Leadership will be one of the most demanded skills in the next decade as companies and people lose their way with the myriad of complexities in today’s social and corporate structures.
Life is a game of inches … how very true
And sometimes in life you really have to fight for the inches. It is those that want the inches the most that will achieve their goals.
The right leadership can drive people to achieve anything in life. It’s how hungry they are to make those inches to acheive their goals is the hardest part as giving up is so easy!
Great comment.
Even the best idea without enough follow-through will end in failure, but a poor idea with total commitment to follow-through will get good, or even great, results. Hence business success is so often 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration.
