The Desirable TERMS Of Leadership


By Richard Brody

For those who wish to serve, in some position of leadership, wouldn't it make sense, for us, to consider and examine, the most desirable TERMS, the individual should understand, in order to, become the best leader, he might possibly be? Far too often, many of us, seem to take the many skills, duties, and responsibilities, of leading, somewhat, for granted! Potential leaders must be, individuals, who begin with a willingness, to develop and maintain, a positive, can - do, attitude, undergo professionally designed, leadership training, transform that into learning (As Paul Simon sang, And my life of education, hasn't hurt me none. I can read the writing on the wall), and are ready, willing and able to persist, and exhibit endurance, when the rest of the pack, gives up, and gives in! With that in mind, this article will attempt to review, discuss, and consider, using the mnemonic approach, what this means, and why it is significant.

1. Timely; trendsetter; trustworthy: If you hope to be a real leader, you must demonstrate, consistently, you are trustworthy, and deserve to be trusted and followed! Rather than following the path of least resistance, and remaining within the restraints of one's personal comfort zone, leaders must be trendsetters, and proceed, with an open - mind, to perceive and conceive of, create, develop and implement, well - considered, timely action, based on quality decisions!

2. Empathy; energy; emphasis; excellence: Meaningful leadership requires proceeding, by effectively listening, first, and addressing the needs, priorities, goals, and perceptions, of one's constituents, with genuine empathy! When this is combined, with inspiring energy, and an emphasis on providing the highest degree of personal excellence, and serving the common good, rather than any personal agenda, and/ or, self - interest, one begins to become worthy of leading.

3. Relevant; reliable; rationale: When the focus is on providing relevant, reliable leadership, it's important to take the time, to carefully, explain and articulate one's rationale, in a motivating and inspiring way, so, as, to transform constituents and stakeholders, to involved followers!

4. Motivating; make mark; mention: Until/ unless, one articulates and relates, to others, in a motivating way, how can he possibly hope, to make his mark, for the better? A true leader must understand, for most stakeholders, their favorite sound, is hearing their own voice, and thus, be willing to mention any contribution, or assistance, anyone performs, for the common good!

5. Strengthen; system; sustainable solution: The main responsibility of a leader, should be, to do, all he possibly can, to strengthen, both the group he serves, as well as the stakeholders, he represents! This does not occur, by chance, but rather, because of the quality and relevance, of the system, he introduces, and whether, he perceives and conceives of, creates, develops, and implements, a quality, sustainable solution!

Are you willing, to accept the TERMS of leadership? Will you be up, to the tasks and responsibilities?

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
