Master your Leadership

“Leaders don’t create followers. They create more leaders.” ~ Tom Peters

Success in the professional services industry seems to boil down to one thing:  your ability to lead.  Whether you are leading direct reports, colleagues on team of peers, clients, those senior to you, or yourself,  the skills of leadership — once scoffed at as “soft skills” — are at the top of the “want to improve” list for many professionals. Firms are recognizing that unless their people are strong leaders, they will fall behind their competitors.

I know an engineering firm that, given the choice, will hire someone with a 3.0 GPA and superior “people skills,” instead of someone with a 4.0 who will do an excellent technical job but never come out of her cubicle.

Let’s be clear: The terms “leader” and “boss” are not interchangable. Being the boss does not make you a leader. You may have hierarchical authority, but if you haven’t mastered your leadership, you’ll find a lot of struggle in your role. By the same token, leaders can be cultivated at every level of your organization — you don’t need to have a staff to lead.

You see, leadership is not something you “do.” Or something you are assigned. Leadership is an energy… an essence… a set of qualities… your ability to influence followers.
