This is such an important questions that for years now we have been incorporating this question into many of our leadership programs.
If you are a leader, ask yourself this question. When you are finished then ask yourself how do I know that i am x, y, z, etc.
You see through our own lenses it may seem as though we are exhibiting certain traits and are providing the support, tools, development, and direction our teams need. In reality the only way to know how we are doing is to ask those who we are serving.

As a business leader, leadership is not about being popular. You must be prepared to exercise the authority that comes with your leadership.

Storytelling is an effective way to communicate to get attention, make a business case, and add relevance to the situation.
Of course you need to make certain that the topic is relevant and valuable to the audience. Not to mention, that the timing of your considers the venue, theme, and time constraints.

26% of Leaders hire coaches as sounding boards.
My philosophy....As a coach, I help people get to where they want to be faster! It all depends on how much a leader wants to invest in him or herself.
The clearer a leader is on what success looks like, and how to measure success...the easier it is for me to get them to where they want to be.

Patricia D. Sadar's insight:
Don't just read this posting, please print and refer to it often. These are all excellent reminders to all of us to be the best we can be as individuals and as leaders.
Leading is not managing. It is a privilege that is earned each day.
One thought for the day: Serving others is the mark of a true leader. Pretend that your contract as a leader lasts only one year, and your staff make the decision to re-sign you as their leader or not.

Simon Hayward from Cirrus comments in Ask Grapevine HR
Patricia D. Sadar's insight:
Excellent!
My philosophy is that we should transition from performance appraisals towards performance management systems. We need to measure and reward each person for living the values of the organization. Lastly, all bonuses should be balanced and aligned with the priorities of the organization and values.
Long story short - My humble opinion is we should avoid rewarding an individual who exceeds individual goals yet stomps on everyone along the way, and does not believe and live by the ethical values of the organization.

Patricia D. Sadar's insight:
Interesting article!
Valuing people's time, starting and ending a meeting on time, adding value, and starting a meeting by stating a purpose are all bedrock principles.
In addition, send out the agenda ahead of time with the stated purpose. Be clear on what others to review or bring to the meeting. If the meeting requires making a decision, be clear on the objective.
Before ending the meeting, make sure that you re-cap the action steps and timelines. Having someone send out the next steps is an excellent way to keep everyone on track.

Love this article! One of my favorite sayings to the executives I coach is that if you are comfortable with everything you are doing...you are not growing and your team is not growing.
It is okay to hone and strengthen your talents and areas that you excel in; however, the goal is to constantly reach higher and push yourself out of your comfort zone. That is where all of the growing happens.
