TRUE LEADERSHIP (2)

LEADERS TAKE INITIATIVES

Initiative is the first step in a process that once taken determines subsequent events. Leaders must have the ability and the courage to take bold steps in the direction of their visions and goals. The ability to step out and do something that no one his doing or that no one has done is one great attribute of turnaround leaders. Leadership is about taking important step when no one else is willing to do so. Every leader that left a mark in the sand of time at one point or the other stepped out to do what they needed to do. Great leaders are great initiators.

Leaders that make great impacts are great initiators.

Leaders that are initiators are:

Ø  Bold enough to do what others are afraid of doing

Ø  They are willing to do what others are not willing to do

Ø  They are not kept back by the fear of failure

Ø  They are daring enough to step out in the face of daunting opposition and hostility

Ø  They are willing to try and fail rather than not trying at all.

Ø  They are more conscious of success than of failure

Ø  They are not easily discouraged or dissuaded.
