Leaders need to act as if they are in control,project confidence, and talk about the

future, even while recognizing andacknowledging the organizational realitiesand their own limitations.

Because leaders succumb to the same self-enhancement tendencies as everyone else,

magnified by the adulation they receive,they have a tendency to lose their behavioral inhibitions and behave indestructive ways. They need to avoid thistrap and maintain an attitude of wisdom and

a healthy dose of modesty.

ttributes of Leadership

Excellence



Because the desirability of exercising totalcontrol is itself a half-truth, effective

leaders must learn when and how to get outof the way and let others makecontributions. Sometimes the bestleadership is no leadership at all.

Leaders often have the most positiveimpact when they help build systems wherethe actions of a few powerful andmagnificently skilled people matter least.Perhaps the best way to view leadership is

as the task of architecting organizationalsystems, teams, and cultures³asestablishing the conditions andpreconditions for others to succeed."

Great leaders face and overcome greatdifficulties

Great leaders expect more from themselvesthan they do from others

Great leaders are not afraid to make tough

decisions Great leaders have a vision and utmost faith

in themselves to fulfill that vision

Great leaders are ambitious for themselves,their companies, and their people



The 6 C's of Leadership:

Courage. Great leaders take risks. That takesplanning and discipline, to be sure, but mostof all it takes courage

Creativity. Great leaders embrace

imagination. They foster innovation.D

o itwith economic logic and operationaldiscipline, yes, but do it with creativity

Compassion and Caring. Caring deeply aboutwhat you·re doing, about the welfare of your

people and customers, and about doing thingswith a strong moral fiber. Great leaders haveemotional and ethical as well as intellectualintegrity. They love, and they love ethically.



Curiosity. Great leaders come to the partywith a sense of wonder and awe. Theyrestlessly and repeatedly ask questions

like-- What·s out there? (let's check it out!)What·s behind there? What·s underneaththere? What if? Why not? When can we tryit? What will happen? What did happen?What did we learn? What·s our next step?

Consistency. The issue of consistency isessential for effective branding andsustained competitive success. Greatleaders create an environment where C·s#1-5 aren·t a one-shot flash-in-the-pan deal,but so steady and ingrained that peopleinside and outside the organization cancount on them.
