Leadership Training Seminar: The Dimensional Leader - 3 Qualities of Leadership
Leadership is one of those subjects where many opinions arise of what leaders should be, and what qualities they should posses. Hundreds of books, if not thousands, are written each year about leadership.
Here's a quick list that comes to my memory of the leadership books released recently:
1. Linchpin by Seth Godin
2. Heroic Leadership by William A. Cohen
3. The Ultimate Leader by Todd Phillipy
4. The Laws of Charisma by Kurt W. Mortensen
5. The Intangibles of Leadership by Richard Davis
When you assess leadership today what are three qualities you respect in your leaders? Better yet, what are three qualities you would like to see in yourself as a leader? First and foremost, I believe a leader must possess three leadership foundational yet essential leadership qualities to lead others effectively:
1. Character
We all possess character, the question now arises - at what depth is virtuous character embedded within you? Character is developed over time by choice, action and self-correction by cultivating the virtues of greatness; honesty, reliability, integrity, industry, humility, responsibility, etc. We can no longer say we have character, it must be demonstrated consistently in more than just one area. Character is tested and revealed in three areas:
Character is first tested and proven in private.
Then it is detected in public through speech and action.
And, most certainly evident through times of great challenge and tribulation.
Character cannot be conjured up at will, when you clock-in at work. Artificial character will soon be detected within time.
2. Competence
Competence is the combination of knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Competence involves more than just your boss knowing everything; it's depending on the whole work apparatus, where each and every employee on your team and the organization contribute to accomplish and enhance the larger mission. Competence is the ability to access knowledge at every level, which involves assessment and feedback briefings, training and development, listening to the 'ground floor' level employee as well as the last compliant you received from a customer. It's building a culture of competence and knowing how to access, process, assimilate and grow from this knowledge in the workplace. If you have this ability to tap into the capacity of others then you are a competent person. Many leaders tend to work alone. They tend to think because they have more experience than you that they are more competent than you are. They forget the simplicity of wisdom and its offerings to enhance organizational performance.
3. Communication
Communication is just as critical of the other two. We, as humans, communicate at every level of our person through our non-verbal’s, action and inaction, our energy or the lack of it, our countenance, listening as well as speaking, even to what emanates from our soul and spirit; the list continues. Great communicators of the past where somehow able to connect emotionally and "cut into the heart" of the person. The key to communication is to inform, influence, inspire, and change the minds of a few or many to garner a collective consensus to move many forward with high motivation and vigor, accomplishing great things.
There is so much more to say about these three qualities but very little time and space. I call these three leadership traits the qualities of The Dimensional Leader.
Are you a dimensional leader? Which one of the three is your weakest and strongest trait? How can you improve yourself in each area?
