Leadership in the 21st Century.

Jack Welch says, "Genuine leadership comes from the quality of your vision and your ability to spark others to extraordinary performance."

I can not agree more.
It is said that there are two basic types of leadership in business today, transactional and transformational.
Transactional leadership is the ability to direct people, manage resources, and get the job done.
Transformational leadership, the most important form of leadership today, is the ability to motivate, inspire, and bring people to higher levels of performance.

You know..., perhaps the most important thing to do as a leader is to be a good role model. We need to Lead by example. Walk the talk. Live the life. Always carry yourself as though everyone is watching, even when no one is watching.
Good leaders are completely reliable. People can take them at their word and trust that they will do what they say. They make promises carefully, and then always keep their word.
We need to touch people emotionally, to empower them to be more and to contribute more than they ever have before.
That is exceptional leadership in the 21st century.

Be the Change
One love
