Leadership Qualities
from 'How to Coach a Leader' by Jim McNeish
How do you relate to the following statements?
Leaders know that their version of what happened is only their version and there are more useful versions available to them.
Leaders listen to other people’s opinions but look for their contributions.
Leaders hand control back to where it belongs – the out of date leadership fantasy that seduced them – and live free of its tyranny.
Leaders feel like a part of their world: no longer commentators but participants.
Leaders embrace their paradoxes, and follow them through confusion to reality.
Leaders are themselves: perfectly flawed, ordinarily weird, emotionally thoughtful and alive.
