What exactly is leadership? What qualities does a person need to have to be able to say they are a true leader? Many people say they are a leader, but how do they know? Who made them so and what makes them so special?
There have been many books and articles written on the subject of leadership. Many focus on the need for leaders to be confident, knowledgeable, effective communicators, patient, dedicated, persistent and focused.
Many believe there is some magic formula that makes people born to lead. There are those that think they never will and those that think they always were. I take a some what different view. I believe not everyone will take up the challenge but that everyone is capable.
A good leader in my eyes is someone who wants to help others also become leaders. Someone who helps others become the best that they can. Someone who helps others grow and cultivate the gifts they were born with and to then let them go off into the world to be the best that they can be.
But how do you get selected for leadership in the first place. Sometimes leadership will be thrust upon us; we will have to take the reign because there just is no other way.
But TRUE leadership comes from standing out on the ledge, being outside your comfort zone, stepping up to the challenge and trying out something new.
The only real training for leadership is leadership.
~Antony Jay
To take it a step further. TRUE leadership is where an individual steps out into the unknown, unafraid to try out something new. Especially in the world of social media and internet marketing there are ample opportunities for people to step up and test something brand new. The kinds of leader I love are innovative, dreamers, inspired, creative and positive. What kind of leader are you?
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Are you willing to step up to the challenge, to show yourself as someone who is willing to try new things, to think new thoughts?

Hey Beth
As you know I am part of the FREE part of TSA. I haven’t had time to look into this properly (and I know you have
) so I’m just wondering what it’s going to mean for me personally to be recognised as a leader in TSA? You mention - “will position themselves to be the leader’s in future intensive courses they deliver”, can you please elaborate a little on that?? Or show me where I can find out the answer for myself??
thanks so much luv
cheers

Leadership is one of my favorite topics. I think of my self as a good leader. I do all the things leaders should do. I also think the most important thing about being a leader is to be a life long student of leadership.
No matter how much we know on the topic we always need to realize someone knows more, and we can learn from them.
Here is to being a life long student.

Hey Rob,
I totally agree with you! Even the most successful people should have mentors, because there is never too much we learn.

Hi Beth,
While some people definately do appear to have natural leadership qualities I agree that wanting to help others is one of the most important qualities in a leader.
“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.” Bill Gates.
Thank you for the info and link to TSA, I’ve just signed up for a free account and I’ll definately look into it some more. I have seen the logo around before but really hadn’t heard of TSA before now.

Hey Beth,
Awesome post on leadership. I actually believe that we are all born leaders, and each of us is called to act in that capacity throughout our lives, whether we realize it or not. As parents, co-workers, friends, etc. there will always be people who are watching us for inspiration and as role models.
Every person on the planet needs to stand up and declare their ability to lead in one way or another, and take action. If this were to happen, complacency - which is the source of many many problems, would disappear.

You are so right, leadership is about “standing out on the ledge, being outside your comfort zone, stepping up to the challenge and trying out something new.”
