leadership development stories

When you think about famous leaders in modern times, people like Rudy Giuliani, Colin Powell, John C. Maxwell, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and countless others come to mind.

On a personal level, you can also think of a leader(s) who have made a positive impact in your own life. Perhaps you already have a mentor who look to for advice.

Although each of the above leaders are considered great in their specific field or industry, it's safe to say that none of these leaders would necessarily approach a leadership situation in the exact same way. Their individual leadership theories are different, just as their personalities vary.

You will have great leadership successes over time, and some failures, from which you will learn from - and as a result, you have grown into a more knowledgeable and effective leader.

Insightful leadership lessons that you have learned the hard way, can be of tremendous value to others.

Justice

Judgement

Dependability

Initiative

Decisiveness

Tact

Integrity

Enthusiasm

Bearing

Unselfishness

As you study the broader leadership definition of each key trait, you soon realize how important it is for a leader to be self-motivated, self-reliant, and self-disciplined.
