Are you a Genuine Leader?

Are you a Genuine Leader?

If you want to attract and engage the best talent, improve performance and optimize results, it should come as no surprise that it all begins and ends with leadership.  What may be surprising to many, however, is that leadership in the 21st Century is no longer just about rank, title or position. Instead, it's about knowing who you are, the values you uphold and the impact your actions will have on the lives of others.  As we see it then, everyone has the opportunity to be a leader and the need for genuine leaders, has never been greater.

To help people on that path, we’ve come up with a checklist that helps to define what a genuine leader is.  Why not see how well you fare?

A genuine leader is someone who:

1. Knows who they are, what matters and what they stand for and acts accordingly
2. Treats others with compassion and respect
3. Leads from the heart and inspires great results
4. Strives to do the right thing
5. Has a vision for their life that inspires everyone around them
6. Sets personal and business goals that advance them toward their dreams
7. Is fully accountable for their life and their actions
8. Recognizes that true power comes from within
9. Brings out the best in others
   10.  Is committed to reaching their full potential                                                

So, are you a genuine leader?  Take a moment to acknowledge the leadership qualities that are within you and those that you may need to work on.  When you do, you will be well on your way to becoming a genuine leader and the kind of person others are inspired to emulate.
