Leadership is for everybody. Anybody can lead, and should. It’s far easier than most people imagine.</p> <p><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Let’s simplify things</strong></span></p> <p>Susan Mazza (<a href="http://randomactsofleadership.wordpress.com/">Random Acts Of Leadership</a>) recently made an important statement with her article, <a href="http://randomactsofleadership.wordpress.com/2008/12/16/hello-world/"><span style="color: #003366;"><em>Leading May Be Simpler Than You Think</em></span></a>. She said: “Perhaps we have set our sights on the grand gestures of leadership; those moments born of pure inspiration that are captured in our history books and continue to inspire us today. And if that is our standard for what leadership looks like it is no wonder leading seems daunting and inaccessible for so many.”</p> <p>Do we focus on the major deeds of others and call that leadership? Is our own leadership example more complicated than it needs to be?</p> <p>Mazza suggests “that we have lost the ability to recognize opportunities to lead that are right in front of us each and every day … Rosa Parks didn’t refuse to move to the back of the bus one day to launch the civil rights movement. She simply took a stand for herself. And the rest is history.”</p> <p><a href="http://www.marksanborn.com">Mark Sanborn</a> would echo that. In his book, <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/You-Dont-Need-Title-Leader/dp/0385517475/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1231768343&sr=8-1">You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader</a></em>, Sanborn shows how each of us can be leaders in our daily lives and make a positive dif- ference, whatever our title or job.</p> <p>It’s a fascinating idea and absolutely on target.Too many people feel that they need a position in order to lead, that, somehow, a title suddenly makes them worthy of their group’s respect and will help them command attention.That couldn’t be farther<br /> from the truth.</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #003366;">Do people want to follow?</span></strong></p> <p>People who lead from their hearts will do a better job of <em>commanding</em> respect than any titled individual who can only <em>demand</em> it. People will follow the position because they have been trained to do so and because it is dictated by the chain of command.</p> <p>However, a person who can achieve buy in and get others to follow with his or her passion reaches deeper and connects on a different level. Title or no title, that’s what we want.</p> <p>In the book Sanborn reveals the keys we can each use to improve ourselves, our fellow workers and our organizations. He shows that leadership is a decision that every one of us can make, and it doesn’t require anyone bestowing anything official upon us.</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #003366;">Our leadership is on display every day</span></strong></p> <p>Genuine leadership — leadership with a “little i,” as Sanborn puts it — is shown through our everyday actions and the way we influence the lives of those around us.</p> <p>Among the qualities that genuine leaders share:</p> <ul> <li>Acting with purpose rather than getting bogged down by mindless activity.</li> <li>Caring about and listening to others.</li> <li>Looking for ways to encourage the contributions and development of others rather than focusing solely on personal achievements.</li> <li>Creating a legacy of accomplishment and contribution in everything they do.</li> </ul> <p>So if you have a title, that’s fine. My advice would be to make sure that your actions shine through so that people are blinded to your position. Let them respect you and want to follow because of what you do, not where you rank in the organization.</p> <p>It’s the kind of “followership” that people who flaunt their title will never understand, never appreciate and never experience. It’s a priceless gift that people willingly give.</p> <p><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Leaders are everywhere</strong></span></p> <p>Who can be a leader? How about the:</p> <ul> <li>admin professional who helps his or her boss communicate with the organization and who stands up for the boss when others don’t understand decisions and policies?</li> <li>nurse who works hard to give impeccable patient care, regardless of a lack of supplies, prompting everybody in his or her section to step up to match his or her energy and attention to detail?</li> <li> young man who pumps gas with a smile and positive attitude like it’s a job with great importance (and it is), which causes the lady who takes the payment to give greater focus to the customer?</li> <li> trash collector who empties the cans and turns them over with the lids right next to them — not tossing them all over the place — and his example to the entire crew to do a better job?</li> <li>receptionist who answers the phone with such warmth and does such a great job of processing calls throughout the office that everybody else takes notice and wants to improve his or her phone skills?</li> <li>lady who cleans the room of the visitor with absolute precision, just as though she was cleaning it for a head of state — or her grandmother — reminding every other member of the housekeeping team that they aren’t just rooms, they are the home away from home for their guests?</li> <li> member of the team who doesn’t wait for the supervisor to come around to assign the next job? He or she looks to see what needs to be done and takes care of it, which causes other members to do the same.</li> <li>man who sees another person in need of assistance? He doesn’t wait for somebody else to respond. He takes the initiative to lend a hand, and then others follow.</li> </ul> <p><strong><span style="color: #003366;">It’s time</span></strong></p> <p>A lot of people are just waiting to be led, to be inspired by the acts and words — but mostly acts — of others. Maybe they’re waiting on their supervisor or maybe just somebody who decides to seize the moment and become a leader.</p> <p>Not because they seek glory or personal attention, but because they see a need and they fill it.</p> <p>Maybe they’re waiting on someone who can help them to dream a little or become better than they are.</p> <p>Maybe they’re waiting on someone … like you.</p> <p>Ready to lead? What do you thnk?</p> <div id="st200812275875" class="st-taf"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.socialtwist.com/200812275875/script.js"></script><img alt="SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend" style="border:0;margin:0;padding:0;" src="http://images.socialtwist.com/200812275875/button.png" onmouseout="hideHoverMap(this)" onmouseover="showHoverMap(this, '200812275875', 'http%3A%2F%2Fcareerjolt.net%2Fleadership-is-for-everybody-%25e2%2580%2594-you-can-do-it%2F', 'Leadership+Is+For+Everybody+%E2%80%94+You+Can+Do+It')" onclick="cw(this, {id:'200812275875',link: 'http%3A%2F%2Fcareerjolt.net%2Fleadership-is-for-everybody-%25e2%2580%2594-you-can-do-it%2F', title: '+Leadership+Is+For+Everybody+%E2%80%94+You+Can+Do+It+' })"/></div> </div>    <p><em style="color:#003366">If you like this post please consider subscribing to our RSS/Email feed (on the menu bar) or <a href="http://twitter.com/jerryroberts">following us on Twitter</a>.</em></p> </div> <div id="comments">   <div id="form_wrap"> <h2 class="lc">Leave a reply</h2> <form action="http://careerjolt.net/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform" class="wrap"> <div> <div class="col-left"> <input type="text" name="author" id="author" tabindex="1" value="Name " onfocus="if (this.value == 'Name (required)') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Name (required)';}" /> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" tabindex="2" value="Email " onfocus="if (this.value == 'Email (required)') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Email (required)';}" /> <input type="text" name="url" id="url" tabindex="3" value="Website (optional)" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Website (optional)') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Website (optional)';}" /> </div> <div class="col-right"> <textarea rows="9" cols="10" name="comment" tabindex="4" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Type your comment here...') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Type your comment here...';}">Type your comment here...</textarea> <input type="image" name="submit" tabindex="5" src="http://careerjolt.net/wp-content/themes/busybee/styles/blue/img_leave_comment.gif" class="sb" /> </div>  <input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="210" /> <p style="clear: both;" class="subscribe-to-comments"> <input type="checkbox" name="subscribe" id="subscribe" value="subscribe" style="width: auto;" /> <label for="subscribe">Notify me of followup comments via e-mail</label> </p> </div> </form> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-right">  <div id="sidebar">  <div id="widgetized"> <div id="search_main" class="block"> <form method="get" id="searchform" action="http://careerjolt.net"> <div> <input type="text" class="field" name="s" id="s" value="Enter keywords..." onfocus="if (this.value == 'Enter keywords...') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Enter keywords...';}" /> <input type="image" src="http://careerjolt.net/wp-content/themes/busybee/styles/blue/img_search.gif" class="submit" name="submit" /> </div> </form> </div> </div>  <div id="tabs" class="block"> <ul id="idTabs" class="wrap tabs"> <li><a href="#pop">Popular</a></li> <li><a href="#comm">Comments</a></li> <li><a href="#tagcloud">Topics</a></li> </ul> <div class="inside"> <ul id="pop"> </ul> <ul id="comm"> <li> <img class="thumbnail" src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=2d9fdbf9b0ff0835a5d0bdecd06977f9&size=35" alt="" /> <a href="http://careerjolt.net/effort-vs-production-%e2%80%94-getting-people-on-the-correct-page/#comment-3420" title="on Effort vs. Production — Getting People On the Correct Page"> Success Mindset: I Like to read about success mindset.Got your page... </a> <br style="clear:both" /> </li> <li> <img class="thumbnail" src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=0490e2e6b8aa592d60b7bfe318b9ff81&size=35" alt="" /> <a href="http://careerjolt.net/kids-and-working-we-need-to-get-to-them-earlier/#comment-1637" title="on Kids and Working: We Need to Get to Them Earlier"> admin: @Scott — Exactly.
