Helping Create Success
True Leaders Are Never Lonely At The Top
”No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it”. – H.E. Luccock
Never isolate yourself or your team from the organization you work for. You or your team alone will not propel the organization to reach its goals. It is out of place to be divisive as a leader.
A leader may sometimes feel that he or his team alone can do the task allocated to them efficiently and as such do not need help from other members of the organization they work for. The truth however remains that, no individual or team can achieve an organization’s objectives without the collaborative efforts of all other individuals of an organization.
Leadership requires that you constantly remind your team members of the fact that they can not much if they remain islands. You and your team should not become secluded from the organization because it will only make work more difficult to achieve and time-consuming. The rest of the organization will begin to isolate from you too and that might even lead to greater damage.
Choose not to be a divisive leader!
Always remember that there’s a lot more strength in unity than division.
Leaders Break Limiting Beliefs
What if our limits are not really our limits?
Once you’ve blown the “cap” off your capacities, you’ll find yourself more successful and fulfilled in your daily life.
Leaders Know Themselves and Their Limitations
A leader who is self-aware is able to know what they can bring to the table and where they will need the support of their team members to succeed.
Leaders Take Responsibility
“A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.” – Arnold H. Glasow.
A leader is one whose actions inspire others to dream more, do more, learn more, and become more. Leaders are people who are not afraid to challenge the status quo and do better. Leaders are trailblazers. A clear sign of a good leader is one who steps up and takes responsibility every time. There is nothing worse than a leader who is indifferent about the progression of work being done.
Leaders are not afraid to take responsibility for their actions and those of their team members. In everything we do, there are bound to be mistakes; a good leader understands this and is geared to curb it. You cannot do it alone, and that is why you have a team. Your team members will trust, respect, and work better with you if you are able to take responsibility and speak for them when there is a mistake or they fall out of place.
You can be a good leader too. “The price of greatness is responsibility.” — Winston Churchill. Do you want to know how? Talk to us at CTL Africa and our dynamic world-class coaches will help you get there.
