Leadership is probably one of the most talked about business concepts, but the least understood. Leadership is about getting things done and helping people reach their potential. My experience has shown me that most places fail to unleash the potential of those working within their organization.
A myth is something that is false, but believed to be true. As in many things in life, there are several myths surrounding the concept and practice of leadership. Unfortunately, these myths prevent the most qualified people from rising to the top. By listing these leadership myths, it is my hope to dispel many of the false beliefs.
Myth 1 - Leadership is a rare ability only given to a few. Leadership is not like a diet pill. Like most learned skills, it takes time, training, and lots of trial by error. The key ingredient making people good leaders is the ability to care about others. The second ingredient is a sense of purpose, vision or mission. A good leader charts a course and provides direction to those they lead.
Myth 2- Effective leadership is based on control, coercion and manipulation. Good leaders gain followers out of respect and their ability to cause people to work toward a particular goal or achieve a destination. A good leader helps people become better than they are. A good leader creates a work environment that attracts, keeps and motivates its workforce.
Myth 3 - Good leaders have more education than other people. Educational degrees may mean you have a good education, but it doesn't necessarily mean you are a good leader. When it comes to leadership, experience is the best teacher.
