“Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.” ~ Peter Drucker ~ What is a Leader? A Leader takes responsibility, makes the hard decisions and brings out the best in all the people around them. They have a vision of the future and share it openly with all involved. They don’t hide behind excuses and never play the blame game. They seek out solutions and work for results to benefit everyone. They don’t play one group of people against the other to benefit themselves. A Leader never takes pleasure in the pain and suffering of their people. A true Leader never needs to manipulate your emotions to get things done.
