For a variety of reasons, far too many individuals who ascend to leadership positions tend to seek personal glory and platitudes, rather than pursuing the optimum scenario for their organization. Having been intimately involved in the leadership process for over three decades, training, qualifying, counseling, advising and consulting, I have always attempted to convey to the more than a thousand individuals that I have worked with, that in order to be an effective and thus successful leader, a leader must involve others in the process, planning, and also any compliments or platitudes received. The professional football coach, Jim Harbaugh, stated this phenomenon perfectly when he said, "Winning as a team is better than anything. It's great to share success."
1. It is essential for a leader to realize that he can't succeed if he does not receive the support of others. Hillary Clinton acknowledged that necessity when she penned her book, It Takes A Village, when she underscored the need for people to work together to obtain real improvements. Ms. Clinton was specifically referring predominantly to the educational process, but it is as true for any aspect of leadership. Therefore, effective leaders focus on communication and motivation. They realize that they must communicate their vision, and why it is important, in a compelling and transparent manner. They must motivate others to join their team, and to adopt their vision as their own. It is this feeling of belonging that creates an atmosphere of doing something positive and long lasting, for the common good. Teamwork, when real, creates a strong moral and ethical fiber, that joins people together, and makes obstacles become mere challenges, and challenges something to overcome and to become stronger because of. It builds up self- confidence, as well as creating a common feeling of belonging to something larger and more important than themselves.
Reference And Education
2. True leaders recognize the need to acknowledge and thank others for their efforts. It is important to remember and to understand that not everyone is either well suited for nor wishes to be a leader, but many are willing to volunteer to assist in a good cause or vision. It is almost impossible to succeed as a leader without the concerted and directed efforts of others, and thus leaders, by definition, must have loyal followers. In order to maintain followers, leaders must make these people feel good about their efforts.Human nature is such that most people enjoy acknowledgement, and that most followers will continue to follow, and thus to assist a leader successfully pursue his vision, if they are thanked. Therefore, grateful leaders are almost always the most successful.
It is not easy to be a great leader. There are so many factors that impact the success of one's leadership directives, plans and goals. When a leader gathers a loyal team, he multiplies his opportunities for everyone to be successful!
