Why Leaders Get Followed - Pointers from 297 people who chose to follow them.
Does every manager lead, inspire and motivate their team to new heights? Of course not, but some are remembered for years...even decades by members of their team. People have told me they have fond, warm memories when I ask them to tell me about the best leader they ever worked for. So instead of writing an article about the dynamics of leadership, I though it may be more useful to view leadership from the eyes of those that follow.

Emotional Intelligence – The Hard Truth About Soft Skills
How are your people skills? Academic research has shown that people with high Emotional Intelligence are more successful in business and in life. Emotional Intelligence refers to how well you know yourself, your ability to effectively manage your emotions, and how well you interact with others. Emotional Intelligence is a critical competency for leaders. It is very common in technical fields for people to be promoted to management because they excelled as technicians without much regard for their people skills. Unlike IQ, Emotional Intelligence can be developed.

Selling A Competency or a Responsibility
Is selling a competency reserved for those with "sales" in their titles or is it a responsibility of everyone in the organization? Top performing companies see selling as a competency important to everyone in leadership or a position of influence.

A False Assumption Made by Too Many Aspiring Entrepreneurs
In his best selling book, The E-Myth Revisited, Michael Gerber said that most people fall victim to the most disastrous assumption anyone can make about going into business. He calls it 'The Fatal Assumption'. That Fatal Assumption is: if you understand the technical work of a business, you understand a business that does that technical work. In other words, don't assume that if you know how to bake pies (technical work of a business), it means you know how to successfully run a business that sells pies (business that does that technical work).
LEADERSHIP IS INSIDE-OUTSIDE
A potential leader requires solid knowledge that comes only from inside and he should have competency to complete the things internally. The whole earth is following the principle of ‘Inside-Outside’. Competency is also created inside and bringing it outside up to 100 per cent is leadership. Leadership is always performance, never position and always regardless of power.
Downloadable Soft Skills Train the Trainer Training Materials Streamlines Training
Most trainers start their career in technical roles. After all, before they become confident to teach others, they need to know the topic they want to teach inside out. Learning something deeply takes years and requires a lot of persistence. Eventually, a technical person may decide that it is time to start transferring that knowledge to others. This is where training and knowing how to train others comes into equation. We all know that someone can be very good at what they do but might not be good at telling you how they do it. On the other hand, some people are very good at explaining everything in simple terms, even though they are not world famous in their technical field.

The Foundations of a Strategic Competency System for Leadership Development
Nurturing competency in leadership becomes “strategic” when organizational objectives match the competency development required to achieve them, and, the efforts are coordinated with human resources.

Commodity Value Proposition - An Oxymoron?
How do you find your value proposition when everything you do and everything you sell seems to border on being a commodity because everybody is trying to do the same thing to create competitive advantage? “Oh, but we’re different. We sell our World Class Service.” Right ………………………. How many companies do you know that don’t say they have world class service. Many say that servicing the customer is their core competency. If they truly do have world class service, service is not their core competency it’s what they are doing to create and maintain that level of service that is their true core competency.
