Everybody defines leadership differently but I really like the way John C Maxwell defines
leadership, “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” Irrespective
of how you define a leader, he or she can prove to be a difference maker between success and
failure. A good leader has a futuristic vision and knows how to turn his ideas into real-world
success stories.
1. Vision
Leading means having a vision and sharing it with others. Only when you get to inspire others, it is
possible to share a common goal towards which to direct the efforts and dedication of the entire
team. What is your vision?
2. Motivation
A leader knows how to motivate better than anyone else; it is one of their main functions as people
managers. Through motivation, a leader channels their coworkers energy and professional
potential in order to achieve objectives.
3. Serving
The leader is at the service of the team, and not the other way around. Group members must have
and feel the support of their leader, the tools needed to do their jobs properly must be available to
them, they must have recognition for their efforts and know that there is a person paying attention
in order to correct bad habits. That is all part of a leadership which serves the team, and not the
opposite.
In short, the definition of leadership has nothing to do with the hierarchy or anyone’s position
within the school; it has nothing to do with imposing views but its about listening to those who
know. Leadership is the attitude assumed by those looking for something different, who are
committed to achieving a goal and whose conviction they manage to transmit to others through
enthusiasm and optimism in order to reach a common goal.
