Leadership is one of the most studied but least understood subjects in the psychological and social sciences. But it is an essential component of making any organisation successful. Though it is hard to teach, it can be learned, and it can also be coached. On this Podcast episode I will look at key elements of leadership and highlight these with some examples from history.
You could be leading just a handful of people all the way through to a large organisation, or even a country. Your leadership could be in a family, social group, a sports setting, a charity, a corporation, in the military, or even politically. Either way there will be something on this Podcast that you can learn from.
Although good leadership can sometimes be difficult to describe, you tend to know it when you see it. Today I believe we are being starved of good leadership by our political, business, and spiritual leaders. I believe that humanity is rapidly approaching a significant bifurcation point. We are about to be confronted with stark choices about our future. If we don’t significantly up our leadership game, then this test is one that we will flunk. Perhaps you are one of the aspiring leaders that the world needs today. If you are, remember that becoming a leader is about growing into more of who you are; it is about fully becoming you.
