Leadership Wisdom

Leaders create environments and relationships where others change themselves.

We are transitioning from a knowledge-based to a wisdom-based economy.   It’s no longer about what you know, but what you do with what you know.   When leaders lack subject matter expertise, they fail to develop the wisdom to communicate effectively.

Leaders who lack confidence are poor communicators. They may have a tendency to overcompensate by being loud and obnoxious. They create a lot of noise and say more than what is required to appear important – in an effort to hide their insecurities and self-trust about the subject matter.

Most leaders will not admit to their vulnerability – but it becomes quite apparent through their poor communication skills.

When leaders are inconsistent communicators, it makes it difficult for others to rely upon their leadership and take action.

When leaders believe they can change others they adopt strategies and behaviors that create resistance in others. Leaders don’t change others.

 

Ineffective leaders spend too much time thinking about changing others and not enough thinking about changing themselves.

You Are NOT A Leader If:

You’re waiting on a bigger staff and more money to accomplish your vision.
 
You think you need to be in charge to have influence.
 
You’re content.
 
You tend to foster division instead of generating a helpful dialogue.
 
You think you need to say something to be heard.
 
You find it easier to blame others for your circumstances than to take responsibility for solutions.
 
It’s been some time since you said, “I messed up.”
 
You’re driven by the task instead of the relationships and the vision.
 
Your dreams are so small, people think they can be achieved.
 
No one is following you.
