‘Authentic leaders are not ego driven, nor are they driven by power or money. They are more interested in learning, self-improvement, and helping others.’

‘Communicate directly with everyone in your organization and behave genuinely regardless of formal titles.’

‘Leaders who accurately size up external events and solve problems based on this assessment tend to be capable of greater achievements.’

‘Authentic leaders focus on results- setting both short-term and longer-term goals. They are not afraid of looking vulnerable and can own up to mistakes.’

‘Emotional self-awareness will enable you to lead with composure and a full understanding of your impact on others.’

‘Knowing your emotional triggers and reactions will enable you to use this emotional knowledge to effectively navigate through challenging or difficult situations.’

‘Acting arrogantly or not showing integrity can be the kiss of death in today’s world.’

‘Coaching means going out of your way o make sure people realize their full potential.’

‘Leading an organization when times are good and things are going well is not when one thinks of flexibility.’

‘Being emotionally intelligent means you’ll have the ability to successfully distinguish the emotions best suited to a particular situation from those associated with other parts of daily life and use those emotions to navigate the decision-making process.’

They know That:

‘Leadership begins with a need, not when someone wants to fill an empty leadership position.’

‘If you want to make an impact in the world, you must be able to influence people.’

‘If you focus your attention on a need that speaks to your heart, make the most of your abilities, tap into your passion, and develop influence, you can become a leader.’

‘You need to earn trust before people will buy-in, and you must earn it through character and competence.’

‘Crisis holds the opportunity to be reborn. Difficult times can discipline us to become stronger.’

‘People need to be reminded of why they are doing what they do, and of the benefits that awaits them as a reward for their hard work.’

‘If you go into leadership with the motive to serve others, the team, and the organization, it will be hard for you to go wrong.’

‘If you want to be the best leader you can possibly be, no matter how much or how little natural leadership talent you possess, you need to become a serving leader.’

‘Good leaders think outside the box and help the team break through barriers and cover new ground.’

‘If you want to become a better leader, become willing to make tough choices and uncomfortable decisions.’

‘There is no downside to adding value to people.’
