Repost: Points of Leadership Series (2)

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, welcomed Dr. Feyi Obamehinti to provide another commentary in a series.
“Everything rises and falls on leadership”- Dr. John C. Maxwell
Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership. The power of knowing our strengths, weaknesses and benefits of personal development is priceless.
The “G” Factor as in Great Leaders! Greatness can be defined as ordinary people achieving or having achieved extraordinary vision, performance or outcome with excellence and level of mastery.

Are great leaders born or made? Some traits of great leadership are inherent, yet leadership is a skill set that must be learned, hence developed and honed. We have seen many GOATs in our lifetime. In every industry, field and different aspects of life, we have great leaders that have achieved excellence with distinct levels of mastery. In basketball, we have Michael Jordan, Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. In golf, we have Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. In tennis, we have Roger Federer and Serena Williams.
 Here are three things master leaders have learned to do well:

1. Higher Standards- great leaders hold themselves to a higher standard in life. Due to this, they are able to lead people to where they have been. They are able to empower, equip, and encourage others to greatness.

    2.    Consistency- great leaders are consistent in their values, habits and beliefs. Their words match their actions.  
          They don’t say one thing and do another, hence they are able to build trust in the people they impact.
   3.    Flexibility- great leaders have the agility to adapt to change. They have done the hard work on their inner life
        (emotions, will and soul) and have mastered how to live life from the inside out and not the other way around.  
        They have the competency to be flexible. Great leaders live by my favorite life slogan, “Blessed are the flexible,      
       for they shall not be broken”
