by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Health & Well-Being, Improve Academy, Leadership, Management, Personal Development, Workplace Learning Report

‘True leadership has nothing to do with one’s level in the organization.’

‘A key question you must continuously ask yourself is ‘Am I a self-serving leader or a serving leader?’

‘A person can serve without leading, but a leader can’t lead without serving.’

‘It’s the leader’s job to make time today to ensure that there is a tomorrow.’

‘The best leaders invest in the development of their people.’

‘As leaders, we must be willing to accept the fact that there are some things that certain individuals will never learn to do well.’

‘Helping people leverage their strengths is one of the most rewarding parts of the leader’s role.’

‘You must gain the trust of your people. If you don’t have their trust, you’ll never be a great leader.’

‘People who want to be great leaders must embrace an attitude of service to others.’

‘The best teachers are always those who know they haven’t got it all figured out.’

‘We must not only say it-we must show it.’

‘In order to stay fresh and relevant, innovation has to be constant.’

‘Leading innovation is about leading people into and through change.’

‘To become an innovator, you don’t need to disrupt your whole industry. You just need to focus on building relationships with your key customers and empower your team to find innovative ways to serve them better.’

‘By empowering your workers to try a different approach, new solutions can be discovered, and that’s what leads to growth.’

‘Every innovation doesn’t have to be disruptive. The world needs both disruptive and adaptive change/innovation.’

‘When you develop a culture within your team that encourages open communication and empowers people to come up with new ways of doing things, you’re encouraging agility, which results in innovation.’

‘If we stay in our comfort zone, we will not grow as leaders.’

‘Embracing change means that people need to be convinced that the change has value and is worth embracing. To do this, leaders should focus much on the people side of change as they do on the logistical side of it.’

‘No matter what is happening around us, we can only lead on the day we are leading.’

‘You have to put your attention to where you want to go, not where you don’t want to go.’
