The Power of Leadership Development

Whilst leadership is easy to explain, leadership is not so easy to practise. Leadership is about behaviour first, skills second. Good leaders lead from the front and are followed chiefly because people trust and respect them, rather than the skills they possess.

The Management process relies on planning, organisational and communications skills. Leadership also uses these skills but they must be integrated with qualities such as integrity, honesty, humility, courage, commitment, sincerity, passion, confidence, positivity, wisdom, determination, compassion, sensitivity, and often a degree of personal charisma.

Today “ethical leadership” is more important than ever. We have seen the Government and the MP’s challenged by the public about their unethical practices. Through the internet, mobile networks and increased connectivity, the world is more transparent and interconnected than it has ever been and an important aspect of leadership is the company’s fundamental purpose or vision. For leadership to work well, people (employees and interested stakeholders) must be able to connect their expectations, aims and activities to a single basic purpose.

Reputation = Behaviour x Communication

The vision is the foundation on which to build strategy, management, operational activities, and all that happens within an organisation. Your reputation is determined by the communication both internal and external together with the actual behaviour of your organisation and the individuals within it.
