6. The question “why should anyone be lead by you ?”
strikes fear in the hearts of most Management
Executives.
Why should anyone be lead by you?
A leader by default requires vision, energy , authority
, and strategic direction – and these four additional
qualities
• Reveal your weakness
• Become a sensor
• Practice Tough Empathy
• Dare to be different
7. Reveal your weakness
• Nobody wants to work with a perfect leader –He doesn’t
appear to need help.
• They selectively show their weaknesses. By exposing
some vulnerability, they reveal their approachability and
humanity.
• Example: Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin, is ill at
ease and fumbles in-cessantly when interviewed in
public.
8. Become a Sensor
• They rely heavily on intuition to gauge the appropriate
timing and course of their actions.
• Their ability to collect and interpret soft data helps them
know just when and how to act.
• Example: The CEO of Multi national Entertainment
company headquartered at Paris, came to know about the
vulnerable situation of Distributorship problem at Italy’s
branch with non-verbal cues.
9. Practice Tough Empathy
• Inspirational Leaders empathize passionately-and
realistically- with people, and they care intensely about the
work employees do.
• Tough Empathy means giving people what they need, not
what they want.
• Example: Alan Levy, the former CEO of Polygram, helped
his Junior Record Executives for selecting a Singles off
albums.
10. Dare to be different
• They capitalize on what's unique about themselves.
• They most effective leaders deliberately use differences to
keep a social distance. Even as they are drawing their
followers close to them, Inspirational leaders signal their
separateness.
• Example: Mr.David Prosser, the CEO of Legal and
General, one of Europe's largest and successful insurance
companies was famous for his statement “We may be
good but we are not good enough ?”
