Leadership is someone who can break tasks down into deliverable items, create teams with clear responsibilities, establish milestones and measures, and hold people accountable succeed in enacting the provisions of the plans.
Are you that type of leader? Do you work for this type of leader? Is you company run by this type of leader? Should it be?
My son is frustrated with his job. He has secured a few promotions, but now no longer sees a path for growth. I suggested he talk to his supervisor, but apparently, the supervisor is also adrift within the company.
So, he is now considering leaving for another company. The lack of leadership, true leadership is a factor in a number of companies and people not meeting their full potential. Leadership is more than being in the right place at the right time with common sense.
I feel our country has been lacking in true leadership, both political parties are looking out for their own individual and then party best interests and not those of their constituents. The last President whose hand I would like to shake was Truman, I didn’t agree with everything he did. But he was a leader by the earlier definition in my mind.
