Description:

"What does it mean to be a leader? As children we hear the word ‘leadership’ quite often. In high school we are taught to use it in our admissions essays to college; in university we are reminded that it is a trump word and should use it in your resume. But as an adult, it requires a little more to inspire others to take action; in theory, my boss is a leader, my mom is a leader, my captain is a leader. But, are these not just roles we are all fulfilling? Sure, they have credible personality traits or accomplishments, but is there something else that goes into motivating others to act?

How a Leader Inspires Others to Take Action

  • What does it mean to be a leader? As children we
    hear the word leadership quite often. In high
    school we are taught to use it in our admissions
    essays to college in university we are reminded
    that it is a trump word and should use it in your
    resume. But as an adult, it requires a little
    more to inspire others to take action in theory,
    my boss is a leader, my mom is a leader, my
    captain is a leader. But, are these not just
    roles we are all fulfilling? Sure, they have
    credible personality traits or accomplishments,
    but is there something else that goes into
    motivating others to act?
  • People are rarely born as leaders. They learn or
    exhibit specific personality traits that have
    them stand out from the crowd, and inspire others
    to take action towards a worthy cause. If youre
    hoping to inspire a following, then maybe its
    time to adopt the following traits as your own.

Effective Communication
To inspire others to work with you and be part of
your vision, there needs to be effective
communication. We cant all work together if we
dont understand our end goal. To convince people
to collaborate for you requires a vision and a
relationship of openness. Criticism, both
positive and negative, can be hard to give and
receive, and is a poor form of communication at
best. A relationship that is open and receptive
on both ends is far more inspiring for people. A
good leader reaches out and makes it known that
you and your participation are appreciated. Were
all more inclined to act upon requests made to us
if we feel comfortable in our role. Effective
communication is the cornerstone to making this
happen.

Respect
  • Respect is something that isnt immediate.
    Respect is earned, and usually given to someone
    thats deserving of it. In most situations,
    professional or social, it takes time to
    understand your peers. You wont always get to
    see their strengths or weakness and more often
    than not, circumstance may create barriers that
    keep us from truly getting to know someone. A
    leader who immediately flaunts their position or
    makes you feel inferior doesnt promote respect.
    Whats required is a leader who is willing to
    teach and help where they can, and give
    compliments when a job is done well. Quite often,
    this results in a desire to do more than was
    originally required. The nice guy finishes last
    is not a phrase applied to a good leader on the
    contrary, we are inspired by those who show us
    that things can be done with morals and
    principles. Thats the sign of an inspirational
    leader.

Perseverance
  • Consider a person who stays until a job is
    complete, even if they know theyre not going to
    be compensated. Or someone that insists on
    practicing an instrument or going to the gym
    because they believe that the result will be
    worth all the hard work. Were all more likely to
    be inspired to follow the example of someone who
    is demonstrating perseverance than someone that
    cuts corners or shows a lack of determination.
    Thus, a leader who inspires will be a person with
    persistence and perseverance, not the slacker who
    lingers into the background whenever times get
    tough.

Energy
  • Positive energy is infectious. Its a well known
    saying that we are the average of the five
    closest people we spend our time with.
    Inspirational leaders hang out with passionate
    people who are equally an inspiration to them.
    The best chefs, artists, writers, entrepreneurs
    all of these leaders in their field got there
    because they were energetic and passionate about
    their projects. They worked towards excellence,
    and through diligence and perseverance, they came
    out the other side a top player in the game of
    life.

Encourage Creativity
  • Creative minds find new and exciting ways to
    revamp old ideas. We can all say, its been done
    before, but inventiveness creates a new vibe or
    buzz that is magnetic. We are all drawn to
    something we havent done before, and a leader
    capitalizes on this notion, bringing people into
    their ideas. A truly inspirational leader will go
    a step further, and allow their team-mates room
    to grow and contribute their own ideas as well. A
    leader who micromanages and makes effort to
    maintain a position on their throne of
    leadership is rarely an inspirational leader. A
    true leader recognizes that their teammates want
    to succeed as much as they do, and that any
    contributing ideas are naturally geared towards
    success rather than a challenge of authority.

  • To become a successful leader, you need to show
    them that youve got what it takes to confidently
    and humbly exhibit personality traits that
    inspire others to take action. Everyone has
    leadership potential within its a matter of
    developing your personality in the key areas
    listed, and putting them in practice every day.
    Remember, the most powerful way to become a
    leader who inspires is by being the greatness you
    want to see in others.
