The Art of
Leadership
You can't tell a real dancer from the
dance.
Similarly, you can't tell a real
leader from his quest for positive change. |

Not the cry but the flight of the wild

Demonstrate that You Practice
What You Preach
→
Behave in accordance with the
values you preach or support
→
Take action to change things
that run counter to what you
preach
→
Attend significant events
→
Visit various workplaces and
talk to people in small groups
and one-to-one

Because the prospect of complex
change can overwhelm people and
stifle action, you must set
interim goals and provide
direction so that people can
achieve small wins as they work
toward larger objectives.
You must inspire people, create
opportunities for victories, and
unravel bureaucracy when it
blocks the way to your strategic
goal.

Leadership is done from in front.
Never ask others to do what you, if challenged, would not be willing
to do yourself. |
Xenophon |
 |
To govern is to be correct. If you set an
example by being correct, who would dare remain incorrect? |
Confucius |

When it was wet, we bore the wet
together, when it was cold, we bore the cold together. |

A
leader sets an example. He or she is
someone on whom people – especially younger people – model
themselves. |

Leadership by example is the most
contagious way of leadership. That's why
there's so much corruption everywhere. |

Creating a
Culture
for
Innovation
Leadership
behavior is arguably the single most important factor in driving
corporate culture.
Leadership is certainly a shared responsibility –
not simply the role of a single
senior executive.
While Apple’s
Steve Jobs
is an example of a visionary, innovative individual who possesses inherent
traits that inspire, motivate and create new value on an ongoing basis, it would
be a poor strategy to pin an organization’s hopes of success on having such a
person at the helm.
To succeed in the long term companies must foster
the right kinds of
innovation-focused
skills with leaders who operate at various levels in the organization.
