What Is Leadership?
Leadership is the art and science of influencing others in a specific direction. While this definition can apply to hierarchies, it is not limited to a hierarchical view of the world of work; it applies to collaborative work as well. Today, leadership is about influencing people in any direction – up, down, or sideways.
There are ten key building blocks to “leadership that works” as advanced in Doug Conant’s WSJ bestselling book, THE BLUEPRINT. Every leader we’ve observed or studied who produced sustainable results – no matter how wildly different their temperaments, beliefs, or skill sets – had some mixture of these elements in their approach. Although there are an infinite number of pillars that contribute to effective leadership, if you take care of these ten, everything else takes care of itself.
The 10 foundational tenets of “leadership that works”
- High Performance
- Abundance
- Inspire Trust
- Purpose
- Courage
- Integrity
- Grow or Die Mindset
- Humility
- How Can I Help?
- Have Fun
