<title>Leaders Need Logic And Imagination</title>

<description><![CDATA[Some of the most intelligent, most scholarly individuals never become great leaders because they merely possess superior logic, while lacking the necessary imagination to make it meaningful. While I have discovered in my over three decades of working closely with thousands of leaders that it is certainly an important asset for a leader to be logical, merely being logical does not make one a great or effective leader. Leadership must also be about imagination and creativity, and looking into alternatives for improvement and achieving better results.]]></description>

The scared values activate areas associated with right and wrong and the non-scared values activated areas related to pleasure and rewards.

<description><![CDATA[We often hear the adage cited that we should keep our friends close, but our enemies even closer. While there are many reasons that has become an adage, effective leaders realize that they must quickly be able to identify their true friends, their hanger-ons, and their enemies (or foes). John F. Kennedy famously stated, "Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names." Effective leadership often depends on who a leader can trust and depend on...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Don't call yourself a leader if you are much more comfortable sitting back and waiting to hear and see what others want done before you take action, rather than leading the way and setting the agenda. After more than three decades, I have observed that those in leadership fall into a few categories: not ready; experienced but afraid; experienced and self- confident. Those not ready obviously would benefit from professional leadership training combined with some true hands- on experience; those with experience but afraid to take definitive action often suffer because of a negative attitude or lack of self- confidence...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It is almost impossible to be even a passable leader unless you truly believe that you will make a difference in the organization and position you will serve in, and you also belief fully in the mission of that organization. In over thirty years of identifying, qualifying, training,serving as,and consulting to well over a thousand leaders, I have found it quite disturbing that far too many individuals who ascend to leadership positions, do not sincerely believe in all three of these necessities. Albert Einstein wrote, "It is better to believe than to disbelieve; in so doing, you bring everything to...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When many of us think about corrupt leaders, we often think in terms of monetary payoffs. In my more than three decades of working closely with, consulting to, and advising over a thousand leaders, I have come to the conclusion that while the vast majority of individuals holding leadership positions, it is quite rare for the payoff to involve either money or anything else financial. Sometimes, these payoffs include: ego gratification; power hunger satisfaction; simply being agreed with (also known as yessed to death); or the desire for gratification.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are few things more destructive to morale in a workplace as when there is a staff member causing havoc and no-one is willing to have that difficult conversation with them which would quickly fix things.

One of these is that each person has the right, unfortunately, to be ignorant, as long as that ignorance does not directly harm someone else because of actions taken. As annoying as some of us might find ignorant people to sometimes be, under ordinary circumstances, they only do harm to themselves.]]></description>

When a group of young folks were asked to write down what difference Jesus Christ has meant to you, many answered that Jesus has given me purpose, or Jesus has given me a reason for living and a goal, and made my life meaningful. What a privilege for me to be given a purpose for living. How terrible it must be go around living and not knowing why you are here and not being sure of your aim and goal and purpose.

<description><![CDATA[Our world does not need more clever men or more rich men but it certainly needs more godly men and women. This leader was not only clever but wise and not only rich but godly, and these characteristics are scarce commodities in the present days. Fear is a good thing. Fear of putting your hand in an open fire or fear of rushing across a busy road without looking, or fear of hurting someone you love. The fear of God is healthy, and in a leader it is a most valuable and precious quality. When we have the right kind of fear and the right kind of love then we will have no trouble being holy. That will follow.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A man was overheard saying to his paintings one day, "You make it so hard for me to die". We can be a slave to what we possess or what we desire. How tragically sad when anyone reaches these circumstances. Leaders have to cope with riches and responsibilities and this man certainly knew how to handle both of these tricky areas of life. Prepare your minds for action, or roll up the sleeves of your mind and think straight and know clearly what you believe and why. That is vital no matter type of leadership position you may be in and no matter what type of business. Be self-controlled. Be sober or rational or reasonable. Let no-one else control you, and nothing else control you. Don't get intoxicated with fashionable ideas. We are not to adopt the latest opinions.]]></description>

Anyone who understands financial realities knows that only through a comprehensive and thorough examination of all budgetary aspects, and finely reducing expenses...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Recently, there was a workshop held on delegation and the participants are from different industries like manufacturing, electronics, IT, ITES, insurance, BPOs. As a warm-up session they were asked to describe about what it meant delegation to them. Their responses are: I get the jobs which are boring and dirty as my boss does not like doing them. When I get an assignment of my interest and specialization, my boss is behind me whole time telling how to do the job and I really could not get a chance do it on my own.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When did you last compliment your personal executive? When did you arranged a meeting with your staff and praised them in public? We all have a need to have our existence recognized and appreciated by others. Being social animals whose works in public offices, in groups or in jobs where we move around and meet people have a greater chance of getting the personal feedback. People crave for a pat on their back by their bosses, which will rejuvenate them to perform more and better.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Benjamin Disraeli stated the facts succinctly when he said, "Every man has a right to be conceited until he is successful." While obviously there is no written rule or law about some being an egoist, there are few personality traits that are as unattractive in a leader as being conceited. No one wants to follow someone who seems to need to brag, and the greatest leaders have always understood that successful leadership is never about the leader himself, but rather about how successfully he leads.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The leadership discussion equivalent of the age-old chicken or egg discussion is whether more individuals in leadership harm their organizations as a result of their actions, or rather because of an unwillingness to take necessary action in a timely manner. After working with and training over a thousand leaders and potential leaders for over three decades, I have witnessed harm done in both directions. However, the degree and long- lasting nature of that harm is invariably greater because of lack of action, rather than because of any single action that I have ever observed. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hugh Downs said, "A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but a person with a certain set of attitudes." In my over thirty year career of working closely with leaders and potential leaders, it has become extremely evident to me that while luck may be a factor in some isolated circumstances, an individual rarely becomes a truly great leader merely because he was lucky or fortunate. A specific task may be someone easier or less taxing because of good luck, or one may be fortunate because outside factors such as the weather were cooperative....]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For more than three decades, I have been training those interested in becoming better leaders, as well as organizations wishing to enhance the quality of their leadership, in the necessary traits, skills and qualifications needed for great leaders. However, even if someone is superbly trained and otherwise qualified to be a terrific leader, the difference maker between great and average leaders is very often how persist someone in leadership is. The vast majority of those in leadership, though generally well intentioned and in most cases, attempting to do a quality job in their office, often lack the necessary perseverance needed...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Anyone who has ever studied leadership, including leadership promises made during campaigns, and especially campaign slogans, soon realizes that words are merely rhetoric unless exercised carefully and with a plan. On the campaign trail, a candidate often suggests that change is needed, but rarely details exactly how that change will and should be implemented. Winston Churchill stated, "There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction.]]></description>
