Webster defines a Leader as “One who Leads”. Profound isn’t it ?
What we discover is a leader is not necessarily one with a position but one with a process of performance in solving problems. All to often we find people in a position of leadership who really aren’t leaders; they just follow directions in accordance with their boss. On the other hand we all know people who don’t have a leadership position but are leaders wherever they are.
There are many practical definitions of a “Leader”. The one I use most is from Bobb Biehl. He says a leader:
1. Knows what to do next.
2. Knows why it is important.
3. Knows how to take current resources to solve the problems at hand
If a plane loaded with highly educated senior executives crashes in the middle of a jungle, and fortunately everyone survives, are found by a native raised in the jungle, who’s the leader of the pack?
Those who have risen to be leaders seem to have 4 characteristics.
1. Takes responsibility to equip a people to reach their goals
2. One who knows where he’s going
3. Able to persuade others to go with him (Much coming without words)
4. Deeply committed or infected with a cause or concept
A. Interested in IDEAS – Goal-oriented
B. Interested in INDIVIDUALS – People-oriented
