Do we utilize our true leadership potential?
Have you ever thought about famous musicians how they get people to follow them - what in their performance does make them leaders to us? You can recognise their specific style, the way they use cords, phrases and rhythms. Some are fast with their fingers showing great mastering of their instrument, other use great variety of modified cords; third ones have talent to create hypnotic rhythms catching the audience. In common, they all utilize the potential of their natural talents as musicians.
Our true leadership potential is not based on tools. We surely need tools and understanding of leadership phenomena to survive. Anyhow, the greater potential comes from our natural strengths as a leader. Musicians use different ways to make the audience following them, we can do the same as organizational leaders. There is no "one-size-fits-all" leadership method out there.
A leader can use his/her strengths in four areas:
1. Executing
2. Influencing
3. Relationship building
4. Strategic thinking
Don't believe you could master them all. Nobody does, but you can create a great success by using your dominant strength and working together with others having complementary ones. So, it actually becomes not only your potential but your team's potential - and that can be much greater. The same phenomenon can be seen in good orchestras, it is a real team action with complementary strengths - that makes the difference and you can feel it!
You as a leader should ask yourself if you really utilize the true leadership potential of your strengths or are you trying to survive in all the areas including weaknesses by yourself - it is your choice.
