Leadership Positioning and Potential

October 23rd, 2007 · No Comments

Take a long hard look at your leadership positioning and your leadership potential as it is important to understand in order to know what you can accomplish as a leader.

Leadership Positioning

Leadership is not dependent on position. It is dependent on character and influence. Some require a position before they possess influence, while others possess influence by force of personality, strength of character, social interaction with others, and other sometimes-difficult-to-define attributes.

When you seek to position yourself as a leader you must have two critical elements:

1) A Clear Objective

Your objective can be in the form of a vision, like the corporate visions used by many CEOs, or your objective can be a defined purpose for seeking to influence another.

2) Strong Leadership Potential

Leadership potential is developed over a long period of time. You have to create a foundation for leadership by building yourself – your character, your knowledge, your wisdom, your ability to determine, manage, and adapt to change, and your ability to communicate with others – both one-on-one and in groups.
