The subject and practice of leadership has focused my attention all my life. I have been fascinated by men and women who exhibit the behaviors that motivate others to follow their vision. I have also been astonished at the many situations in which leadership was desperately needed and so obviously absent. I have engaged in scholarly pursuits of leadership and in practical applications. Though the dissertations were informative, it is the engagement with leaders in the process of enhancing their leadership impact that has most motivated me. In this blog I invite all those with similar concerns and observations about the presence and absence of leadership to share your insights.
Leaders may have any number of technical areas of expertise, but it appears that the qualities of their humanness is what sets them apart. Leaders in whom I have deep respect exhibit an integrity that is palpable, a humility that is endearing, and a courage to move themselves and others to do what needs to be done.
I hope you will share with me what you experience as the most essential criteria of leadership and your experiences of becoming one or working with other leaders. I cherish the opportunity to learn from you.
