"What is the most important thing you can do today to become a great leader?"

Leadership 

Leadership has been described as the ?process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task?.Chemers, M. M. (2002). Cognitive, social, and emotional intelligence of transformational leadership: Efficacy and Effectiveness. In R. E. Riggio, S. E. Murphy, F. J. Pirozzolo (Eds.), Multiple Intelligences and Leadership.} Definitions more inclusive of followers have also emerged. Alan Keith of Genentech states that, "Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen."Kouzes, J., and Posner, B. (2007). The Leadership Challenge. CA: Jossey Bass. According to Ken "SKC" Ogbonnia Ogbonnia, K.S. (2007). Political party system and effective leadership in Nigeria: A Contingency Approach. Dissertation. Walden University, 2007, p.27 3252463., "effective leadership is the ability to successfully integrate and maximize available resources within the internal and external environment for the attainment of organizational or societal goals."

Leadership remains one of the most relevant aspects of the organizational context. However, defining leadership has been challenging and definitions can vary depending on the situation. According to Ann Marie E. McSwain, Assistant Professor at Lincoln University, ?leadership is about capacity: the capacity of leaders to listen and observe, to use their expertise as a starting point to encourage dialogue between all levels of decision-making, to establish processes and transparency in decision-making, to articulate their own values and visions clearly but not impose them. Leadership is about setting and not just reacting to agendas, identifying problems, and initiating change that makes for substantive improvement rather than managing change.?

The following sections discuss several important aspects of leadership including a description of what leadership is and a description of several popular theories and styles of leadership. This article also discusses topics such as the role of emotions and vision, as well as leadership effectiveness and performance, leadership in different contexts, how it may differ from related concepts (i.e., management), and some critiques of leadership as generally conceived.

Steps to Follow to Become a Great Leader 

1. Tell yourself you are a leader. This is important because one of the keys to becoming a great leader is to believe that you are one even before you are a leader.

2. Read books and articles and listen to audio recordings on becoming a great leader. John Maxwell and Stephen Covey are two of the best.

3. Set leadership goals. Know what you need to do and what you need to improve on as well as what you are already doing well.

4. Always continue to work on being a great leader and never stop.

    You might be interested in leadership "axioms" by Bill Hybels listed on the Manager Tools Fan Club lens. It is a book about business quotes and "proverbs" that we all say in the course of our work and which can help us focus on leadership decisions based on past experience and best practices: http://www.squidoo.com/managertoolsfanclub#module11852946

    HI Anna,

    The information you provide in your blog and through "attraction marketing" caught my attention. We are friends on FB and I have to be careful because I get sidetracked checking out everyone's information. :)

    I am a high school teacher and enjoy working with others and coaching/leadership is my niche. I have been working with Direct Selling Women's Alliance and their Elite Leadership Course. The course takes you through modules and basically seeks to help folks who have become accidental leaders. I love the idea of working from home and "mlm" but developing a team is somewhat scary to me. I need to get over the idea of having to be "perfect" and know everything! :)

    I also believe in the "law of attraction" and spend time everyday reading and listening segments of The Secret.

    Keep up the good work and I look forward to working and learning with you in 2009.
