- INTRODUCTION
Can you train someone to be a leader? Can you develop leadership qualities within yourself? The answer is yes. In fact, we must – as individuals, organization and a nation. Across the country, people are reassessing priorities and reevaluating policies, procedures and people resources. The next century will be the most challenging the world have ever faced. Without effective leaders at every level of our society, we will ill equip to meet those challenges.
One of the most exciting prospects in the next century is a new definition of success. We will still want to be successful, but that concept will include the necessity for making a contribution, a personal difference in building our organizations and our country.
Effective, value-based leadership has two parts. First is the desire to serve, to be a servant leader. (The Chinese philosopher Lao Tza defined a leader as “one who serves). Second is the understanding that we lead first by example. Everything we say or do sends a message, sets a tone, or teaches people what to do or not to do. With this foundation firmly in place, you can focus on the 12 essential qualities for serving more effectively and setting powerful examples that motivate and inspire others – the qualities that make you a leader who makes difference.
