10 practical ways to be an Inspirational Leader
An inspirational leader doesn’t simply make things happen. They release others to make things happen. It's a beautiful partnership and a true purity of seeing everyone win.
Frustrated leaders don’t know how to inspire.
Inspirational leaders listen:
Self-absorbed leaders suck the life out of organizations. Inspirational leaders are fascinated with others.
Be others-absorbed if you want to be an inspirational leader.
"We talk when we experience the slightest veneer or insight. Perceived knowledge loosens tongues. Fools believe they understand when they don’t and blab when listening is called for." (Leadershipfreak)
Tough talk but listening is critical to inspire.
16 ways to be an inspirational leader:
Seek guidance before certainty.
Avoid that “can’t wait till you stop talking” look.
Speak well of others
Tell stories about your teachers. Don’t tell me what you know. Tell me what you’ve been taught.
Change your mind after reflection. Wishy-washy is exhausting. Maintain focus.
Evaluate your self-reflections. Self-deception is seen slowly.
Receive correction gratefully.
Remain cool when things get hot. Understanding inspires with calmness during turbulence.
Never take advantage of those without power. Inspirational leaders are trustworthy because they seek the best interest of others.
Read. Ask an inspirational leader what they’re reading and their eyes light up.
BONUS TIP: Appreciate the wonder, privilege, and mystery of leadership.
