‘Why do people want passion in a leader?’

Erika Andersen

‘A truly passionate leader invites and encourages dialogue. She wants others to share in her passion, not simply tolerate or be railroaded by it.’

‘Leaders who are farsighted are realistic … and future oriented.’

‘Speaking from a we versus I perspective arises out of a belief that we are responsible for success, that we will work together to achieve the goals of the organization.’

‘Learning begins inside your own head, in managing how you’re talking to yourself about the obstacles before you.’

‘If we align ourselves behind a leader, we want that person to stay the course: we don’t want him or her to get bored, or distracted, or careless, and wander away from the fray.’

‘… Courageous leader also has the courage to change her mind in response to new information and take full responsibility for both the initial position and the new one.’

‘Courage in a leader is a blend of toughness, decisiveness, willingness to move past one’s own limitations, humility, and resilience. It involves making difficult business and personal decisions, overcoming fear and risk to act on those decisions, and responding to the outcomes of those decisions in a responsible way.’

‘People want courageous leaders in order to know that someone will make the tough calls and take responsibility for them.’-

‘When people observe their leader behaving courageously over time, they are much more willing to follow him or her into new territory.’

‘When the leader lacks courage, people feel as though they need to protect themselves. They tend to withdraw their commitment from the team and the enterprise and the enterprise try to figure out how to mitigate the personal impact of their leader’s lack of courage.’
