What is good leadership? Is it achieving numbers at all costs? Is it spouting off commands and skillfully manipulating situations so that they always turn in your favor? Is it demoralizing opponents and proving you have authority and control?
There seems to be confusion all around us about what constitutes good leadership.
Good leadership always builds. It improves practices, develops people, increases connections, grows value, strengthens bonds, enhances reputations, and elevates the organization.
Generating goodwill and producing an overall positive effect on the lives of people encapsulates what good leadership looks like.
On the other hand, poor leadership consists of behaviors, attitudes, and actions that damage people, ruin reputations, decrease value, and cause mistrust and divisiveness.
All of us are leaders in our own sphere of influence. The question is, what kind of leader are you currently and what kind of leader do you want to become?
Let’s all strive to be good leaders.
