Leadership is a Process

 

“The leader has to be practical and a realist, yet must talk
the language of the visionary and the idealist.”

--Eric Hoffer        

 

I do not know Eric Hoffer, but in this quote, he has nailed one of the key challenges of leadership.  Great leaders must be able to relate to all types of people and personalities.  They are capable of thinking and communicating in styles other than their natural personalities.  I consider myself a very practical and pragmatic leader.  That makes it my challenge to relate well to visionaries and non-detail people.  In order to be a good leader, I must be able to understand people who think and see the world differently than I do.  Great leaders adapt their style.  Static leaders become non-leaders. 

 

What are you doing to adjust your leadership style to situations and personalities?
