Leadership

A few times I have written about leadership since starting this blog. I have learned to be more careful as to what to say or write on such a diverse subject such as leadership. I find most leadership books empty and full of self-help opinions that add up to very little. Therefore I will say very little in this post about leadership.

I will quote Ed Kless in a resent blog post here. He has identified two things that successful leaders do:

1- They self regulate their own anxiety. They do not let the anxiety of others to become or heighten their own anxiety.

2- They are masters at confronting people with their own freedom. The see beyond the surface of the particular problem or question and either a) ask a better deeper question that promotes the person to see their own set of choices, or b) state a truth to the person that the person was unable to see or willing to acknowledge.
