What is Leadership?

The leader seeks to communicate his vision to his followers. He captures their attention with his optimistic intuition of possible solutions to their needs. He influences them by the dynamism of his faith. He demonstrates confidence that the challenge can be met, the need resolved, the crisis overcome. - John Haggai

The positive thinkers sees the Invisible, feels the Intangible,

and achieves the Impossible..

What is Leadership about ?Leadership is essentially about helping people to achieve a better life.

Effective Leaders

• Maintain a positive attitude.

• See change as an opportunity.

“It is the mark of a leader to welcome change and take advantage of the opportunity it presents”

Communicate– “Leaders set the example for open communication. They use their heads, say what they feel, and speak from their heart -- not from their policy.”

Delegate and empower. “Leaders share responsibility and they set examples for others to follow. Leaders encourage growth in others by challenging them to take new responsibility, encouraging them to succeed, and supporting them if they fail.”

“Understand others, yourself, and your situation. Leaders understand the importance of an open, inquisitive mind.”

“Leadership involves setting goals, and then encouraging the business towards them. It’s about creating positive change to achieve long-term objectives, while making the best use of resources, including people’s potential.”

Surround yourself with optimism

Give lifting that person your best shot, but don't hang around long enough for his or her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people. --Zig Zigler
