If one were to open a box labeled “what it takes to be a great leader” and look inside we’d find it only takes three top level skills.

1. The ability to clearly establish the Vision.
2. The ability to consistently create the Culture.
3. The ability to constantly intercept Entropy.

These skills of course, apply to the organization the leader is directing, but they also are very applicable to self management.

Let’s talk about Entropy as it relates to your personal growth.

Specifically, let’s examine education as it applies to your own personal growth objectives. Think about a continuum with the entropy at one end and continual improvement at the other. In the center that continuum would be, “a perpetual student”.

Merely having the need is not enough, you also require to concentrate or focus on the certain steps that will certainly lead you to the understanding of your targets.The formula for success is basic—

Desire + Focus = Achievement

Every story of success starts along with a want or a need converted into a burning desire. Success, nevertheless, is the accomplishment of ones objectives (desires).

So the bridge in between need and excellence is focus. It is the key to how to be successful.

But What is Desire?

There are always stages of management in all groups. The performance of each and every single organization within a business depends on the high quality performance from each one of them.

It is important to introduce management training in these teams. This is due to the fact such training helps give each group an insight as to how to play their role effectively.

Favorable working conditions

High quality management guarantees high quality performance. The degree of control responsible for taking care of the staff should be on an as needed basis. Be fully prepared to create a favorable working environment to the staff.

Many organizations have failed due to misunderstandings between professionals and staff.

Be a dreamer! Activate your creative imagination! That’s what Dr. King did! He embraced a great vision and promoted it to everyone. You are a witness to the power of that.

If you have not already, take the time to create your own personal vision. If you have a business, it’s certainly fine to include it in your personal vision, but I am really talking about your own dreams for your own life.

So what is a vision?

Simply, it’s something you imagine. It doesn’t have to realistic, in fact make it outrageously unrealistic.

By definition, a leader is a singularity. There can be only one leader for every team. There’s no such thing as a 10 person team with nine leaders. That’s simply not the way the concept works.

Oddly, and not to be confusing about it, different people can be the leader at different points in time. Often, it is a situational phenomena.

A team leader will need to recharge her batteries from time to time. When that happens, she will likely appoint one of the team members to take the reins while she is gone. Or, a crisis could happen during the team leader’s absence. Hopefully, another person on the team will rise to the occasion and lead, albeit for a short period.

Nonetheless, being a leader is a lonely thing. I imagine you’ve been a leader, either from time to time or always. So you know about this loneliness concept.

Naturally, everyone on the team will be looking towards the leader for exactly that, leadership. I’ve written about certain aspects of this in other articles.

If you’re hoping to find the key for establishing better leadership skills then this article is going to be a great asset for you. Most of the time people think managing and leading are pretty much the same thing. They often interchange the terms managing and leading. You’ll find that you have to be a leader to be a good manager, but the opposite is not true. Leading is a skill and needs to be a component of management, but it can stand on its own.

Think being a leader and being a manager are exactly the same?

Frankly many people don’t even think about such a question. Many many people really can get their arms around the idea they are different concepts. It’s not actually leadership vs management styles we are discussing.

Particularly in a business environment, people think of their managers as the leaders. Most people working for a boss will tend to think of the boss as their leader. Turns out, that’s probably a true fact for any group of managed individuals.

Leaders are often the ones promoted into managers. Also true high-performing individuals are the ones getting promotions into management jobs. However, the best performing front-line workers are not always the best choice.
