WAS RELAY AMY REES ADAMSON’S DESCRIPTION OF WHO IS A TRUE LEADER;
3 hrs ·
"True leaders know who they are
and what they stand for. They know their values and the rules they will abide
by, regardless of the circumstances they face. They allow their people to
understand the values they are committed to uphold, which lays a foundation for
the rules their people will be expected to adhere to. True leaders both know
and communicate their values openly with the people they lead, creating an
atmosphere of certainty and trust.
True leaders have integrity. Integrity
is the very core of their influence. Living the values they profess to believe
is what gives them credibility and allows others to place their trust in them.
True leaders are able to say “do as I do” rather than just “do as I say”,
because they lead by example.
True leaders work right alongside
the people they lead in order to get to know and care about the people they are
leading. Working with people allows leaders to lift and inspire their team.
True leaders listen without being
condescending. They are willing to hear what others have to say without rushing
to judgment. They are patient and genuine in their desire to understand the
thoughts and feelings of the people they lead.
True leaders are forthright with
their people. They communicate openly and often. True leaders take the time to
communicate often to their team in order to show that their team is valued and
important to them. They understand that as the leader they have an obligation
to communicate directly with their people so they never allow a void that
someone with mal-intent can fill. True leaders take on the responsibility of
communicating for themselves." - Amy Rees Anderson
PS
- A True Leader is steadfast on his roles, goals and ambition, regardless of
what, how, whom and where; so far it's meant to deliver goodness to a large
population.
