Thrive Leaders Network

Supporting leaders of 3rd sector organisations across NE Lincs

How do you define leadership?

leave a comment »

I stated recently that Leadership requires two things;  there needs to be a change - something to alter, develop, evolve (otherwise things just stay the same), and there needs to be someone ‘ following ‘ – being led, inspired or otherwise brought forward (otherwise you’re in it on your own, not being a leader).

What do you think leadership is?

What about this?

“Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen.”

Is that it?

Or you could look at all the definitions of leadership (try Wikipedia here).  Maybe that’s too complex?

How do you lead?

That’s why the Thrive Leaders Network is not about trying to fix an idea of who a leader is, how they should lead or the techniques or styles they should choose.  What we are trying to do is give leaders of our local Third Sector Organisations a chance to explore their options & their possibilities.

Leaders need to be able to choose how to lead – there’s no doubt others will choose to follow them or not!

Why not share your comments on Leadership & how you define it?  Why not join the Leaders Network to discuss it with others?
