LEADERSHIP: MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS
Nick Bidic
Is it measured in successes?
Is it weighed in their influence over others?
Are leaders all the same?
WHAT DEFINES A LEADER?
If you look back at all the
notable leaders of the past,
you will notice that there isn’t
a set of characteristics that
they all share in common.
A LEADER IS UNDEFINABLE
Here are the most
common
misconceptions of
what it takes to be a
great leader.
LET’S SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT
While power comes with the
territory of leadership, great
leaders do not exploit their
power for bad. In fact, they
uses that power to help others
and causes that might be in
need.
POWER IS EVERYTHING
Leaders may be in the position to
delegate work and tell others what
they are meant to do. However, a
great leader works harder than
everyone else. You will never find
a great leader working the least
among their team.
LEADERS REST ON THEIR LAURELS
We’ve all heard the phrase “A
natural born leader.” And there
simply is no such thing. Leadership
is learned and developed.
Optimally, a leader improves over
time and experience. Anyone can
learn to be a leader.
A NATURAL BORN LEADER
Leaders become popular and can
easily fall out of popularity. A
great leader doesn’t make choices
based on if it will make them less
or more popular. A great leader
will make what they feel is the
best decision regardless of if it
affects their popularity.
LEADER = POPULAR
Charisma, charm, and confidence
all help with leadership.
However, they do not guarantee
a leader will be successful or
great. What matters more for a
great leader is understanding,
zeal, and stability.
TO LEAD IS TO HAVE CHARISMA
