Leadership isn’t a dirty word: Leading from the backseat

0

Leadershipisnotadirtyword
It seems that over the years – there has become a negative connotation attached to the word “leadership.” It’s not a dirty word – and it’s a skill that can make a man and his surroundings better.
Leadership is not a position. Certainly, a supervisor or a manager is expected to be a leader – but the position itself does not impart leadership.

Often, you may find yourself with a positional leader, who knows nothing about leadership. This can be a frustrating place to be – but it can also be an opportunity for you to shine.

Sometimes, leadership is working from the bottom in such a way that you can influence your coworkers (and bosses) without having that position.

Are you the guy that solves problems? Are you the guy that puts everyone in a good mood? Are you the guy that sets an example for the others? What about helping your boss give you direction?

What are some ways that you can lead from the backseat?

Here’s a great article on the subject:

Stay tuned for next week! We’ll be sharing “Leadership isn’t a dirty word: Leading yourself”

Leadership – What is it?

1

penguins-702729I’ve been through a lot of leadership training over the years… When I was in school, I attended several leadership conferences, and in the many years since then, I’ve read books, watched and attended seminars, and been a student of leadership my whole life.

I have noticed, though – that so many people don’t understand leadership.

People are often thrust into leadership roles at work, and they jump at the chance to be “in charge” and get more cents added to their per hour paycheck.

I’ve also found that the word leadership – particularly “male leadership” has a bad connotation to many…. when they read “leadership” – they HEAR “dominance.”

I’d like to create some RESOURCES to help men understand leadership – but I’d like your feedback! Please leave some comments on what you think leadership means – or questions you have about leadership – and good or bad experiences with leadership.

THANKS!
