Leadership

There is a statement which I think everyone should know. "Everyone needs to be a leader." I believe for a company to move into greatness, every person on the team needs to see himself or herself as a leader. The best companies on the planet grow leaders and develop leadership potential throughout the organisation faster than their competition. Making that happen is their number one focus. And they do it quickly.

But I am not saying everyone should run the company. That makes no sense. Everyone is a leader, but not everyone does the same thing. Imagine in a resturant, the chef role is to ensure the dishes are cook, the waiter to ensure the diners ordered are placed correctly and follow up with them. The cashier, to collect money. What if the chef takes on the role of the waiter, while the waiter become the cashier and the cashier become the chef. It would be chaotic!

Know your role. Everyone needs to behave like a leader-no matter what they do. Everyone needs to demonstrate leadership traits- regardless of their position. That means everyone needs to take responsibility for getting the results that they generate. Everyone needs to do their part to shape culture. Everyone needs to be positive and inspirational. Everyone needs to keep a customer happy and protect the  brand.

Everyone is a leader, but not everyone is the same. If you are appointed as leader in your life, see how you can make everyone a leader here.
