What is leadership? The website Wikipedia
defines leadership as "both a research area and a practical skill encompassing
the ability of an individual or organization to lead or guide individuals,
teams or entire organizations." With so much information online and companies
using leadership as a buzz word, the big question is "How do you become a leader?" Purpose One cannot lead without knowing what the
purpose is and understanding motivation. The purpose can be many things; at work it can be a vision for the future, or it can be personal achievement to an
individual. For motivation, a person must ask questions and build relationships
to understand the people around them. When someone has a purpose and motivation,
the sky is the limit. The most recent leadership book that I have
read was The Servant by James Hunter. The book was eye-opening, it
discussed several scenarios and how they relate to everyday life. I have now
read it twice and probably will again - every time that I have read it, I
take another little piece away that helps with daily life. However, I am still
a work in progress. The principle of compassion and giving was one that I have
never struggled with in my personal life, however I must admit that I have
struggled in the work forum. I kept a different outlook at home than I did at
work. The book depicts situations that assist in giving trust
and attention, and also work on hearing versus listening. It stressed giving feedback, being non-judgmental and most importantly being honest
with others and one's self. Topics on giving, compassion and humility led
me to understand that I needed to work on accountability. I could tell myself
that I had made an error, but pride would stand in the way of my being able to
admit to others the situation, and it would impede my progress in resolution. A
few years ago, I had a great mentor at school that helped me realize that if
I did not understand or break apart the how and why, then I would never be able
to be truly accountable.
