Leadership

Leadership is :

• lifting a person's vision to high sights,

• the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard,

• the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.

Leadership is defined by results not attributes.

- Peter Drucker (father of modern management)

In a world gone crazy with demagoguery, it's very easy to get caught up by an individual's magnetism and charisma. To be fair, most leaders are charismatic and do have magnetic personalities - but this is only a very miniscule part of what it takes to be a leader.

We have to be discerning enough to hold our leaders to high standards - and at the end of the day, see what exactly they have delivered.

When the smoke clears, it's not the rhetoric that propels us or our kids forward, it's results.
