One of the determining factors between true leaders and wannabes is whether they have enough personal resolve to face confrontations and difficulties, or opt instead to prioritize merely avoiding conflict.
While a great leader always tries to create a meeting of the minds wherever possible, he is always prepared to persist and persevere in pursuit of his most meaningful objectives, goals and ideals.
1.
Great leaders are always proactive.
They never merely sit back and wait for things to happen or come to them, but they understand and appreciate the need to proactively pursue goals, because it is a necessity of achievement.
Many of those in positions of leaders opt to procrastinate or in other ways avoid taking any type of even potentially controversial actions or activities, and thus they never are transformed into true leaders.
The impact of avoiding taking meaningful action is often a tendency to become irrelevant.
2.
A real leader never has the luxury of merely advising others what they should do, but must rather commit fully to leadership by example.
That means avoiding the overwhelming tendency of wannabe leaders that basically transmit a message to do as I say, not as I do.
When someone leads by example, it tends to motivate far more others to become more involved and commit.
It also accentuates the message by indicating that the individual is not merely telling you to do something, but showing a personal commitment that makes it far more compelling to follow and commit to a greater extent.
3.
When someone who leads has obvious personal resolve, and does not tend to give up (or change his message and/ or goals because of resistance, challenges, obstacles or criticisms), he sets the tone and direction.
A leader's focus on getting his objections done, and having contingency and backup plans in place to assure successful implementation, creates a positive aura and an overall can - do type of mindset and atmosphere.
4.
When someone who leads has the right attitude and commits to move forward consistently in his desired direction and/ or mode, he best potentiates accomplishing what needs to be done.
This often requires addressing issues at early stages and reducing any negative impacts.
This creates a positive mindset that sees obstacles and issues as merely challenges, as opposed to the often seen mindset of focusing on perceived problems.
We often hear discussions about strong leaders or strength of leadership.
This is only relevant when it translates to meaningful, proactive actions and personal resolve to achieve one's goals, regardless of the resistance or obstacles.
