Leadership is not being condescending to lesser. Leadership is not using emotional triggers to trick people into doing it your way. Leadership is not manipulating others. Anyone can do that and become a Catholic Priest. Leadership is not lying or telling stories or coaxing someone into your way of thinking.

Leadership is not about deception or misdirection. Leadership is not about staying on top of the mountain at all costs and using those under you as ponds. Anyone can do that. Leadership is none of that and the sooner you figure that out the better off you will be and those who follow you will be.

Some say that leadership is a vision thing and indeed this makes a lot more sense. The best leadership comes from leading by example. Leadership is watching, observing and acting decisively and leadership is about trust. You must trust your own abilities and those around must trust you too.

Leadership can be a natural trait or one you develop over time. Leadership comes with a belief and it has to do with your commitment, a sense of honor and integrity and expectations of the same. Leadership some say is the most intangible asset in any organization and Leadership is one of the simplest traits to possess and the hardest of all to keep. That is what I believe leadership is; what do you think? Consider this in 2006.
