Leadership. Less than 2% of the population studies leadership. One of the greatest myths is the Assumption Gap—because we automatically grew as children, we will automatically grow as adults. Another myth is because we are church leaders, we are leadership experts. It’s
just not true. Especially depending on our personality.
All leaders (this includes you and me) have a lid (cap) on their leadership ability and raising that lid will help you take your business to the next level. Most leaders get into trouble because they are not growing their personal leadership skills while their business is growing so they remain stuck in a low level of leadership. Then, when you need those skills, you don’t have them. It’s a common problem throughout all organizations. In order to get the organization where you want it to go, you have to bring people along—they have to buy-in to you before they buy-in to your vision. How do you accomplish that? Just having a charismatic personality won’t get you there. It may work for a while—a very short while—but we all know stories of businesses that stated well and died.
People still need to be led properly. And most don’t know what it takes to learn to lead correctly! But there are proven ways to help you, your leaders, and your staff, get back on target.
Many leaders have high ‘D’ or Dominant personalities—it’s the entrepreneurial spirit in them that drives them to go start a business or go lead a company. They have a tendency to be forward thinking, enjoy being in control, and love a good challenge. Unfortunately, there are weaknesses that go along with those strengths. They typically are task oriented instead of people oriented. This has the tendency of getting things done—many times at the expense of people—which will take your company down fast. And life and leadership is about people—always has been, always will be. High ‘C’ or Conscientious personalities are typically your thinkers—they’re highly resolved. They are also task oriented. Two thirds of the population are people oriented—not task oriented. That means there’s a huge potential disconnect, and most leaders don’t understand how to reconnect with and lead those people. That’s what leadership is all about. The key is learning to correctly lead people to help accomplish all the things you want to. To be both task and people oriented. There are specific methodologies and procedures, strategies and tactics to get this done properly.
People are not going to continue to follow you just because you are a ‘leader’—that’s Level 1—Positional Leadership—the lowest form of leadership. There are proven principles of leadership that you need to embrace to ensure you are leading people in the best possible ways. This includes your staff and—believe it or not—your customers. And it includes leading yourself properly! It may all be going well in the beginning, but wait for a needed growth, buying or leasing a building, lack of accounting input, or sales guidance. Are you prepared to lead your people through that? We’ve seen too many companies crash and burn because the leaders were unprepared for a proper leadership approach—unless you define success as accomplishing the task while leaving people behind—you’ll only do that a couple times before you fail altogether. It doesn’t have to be that way.
It’s not a matter of if it happens—it’s a matter of when it happens.
