Outperforming leaders are not born; they're made.
Great leaders have exceptionally high standards, are able to persevere through change and conflict, and have the ability to consistently get the best out of others in working towards a common, shared goal.
Outperformers know:
Leadership is not a position. Your title or position on the organizational chart doesn't guarantee leadership.
Leadership is not a paycheck. Digits and decimal points have nothing to do with people following a direction.
Leadership is not a personality type. Introverts or extroverts. Thinkers or feelers. Commanding or compassionate. Leaders come in all shapes and sizes.
Leadership is a privilege. It is a not a right, and if you’re reading this right now, leading others is a tremendous opportunity and a blessing.
Leadership is power. Leaders have followers, and this mass can be used for good or bad. As an Outperformer, I know that you seek the former.
Leadership is people. We manage things (budgets, KPI’s, metrics, targets, etc.). We lead people.
“Leadership is a commitment to consistently showing up as your best, to influence and inspire others to see more, do more and become more, towards the achievement of a goal or worthwhile ambition.”
Let's lead together.
