The Impact of a Good Leader
It is acknowledged in the majority of cultures and societies that leadership is essential. Leadership is a way of focusing and motivating a group to enable them to achieve their aims. Leadership also necessitates being accountable and responsible for the group as a whole. But leadership should not be task focused only. A leader’s role is “to prime good feeling in those they lead….and to create a reservoir of positivity that frees the best in people” Goleman 2002.
Great leaders therefore move us; they ignite our passion and inspire the best in us. We tend to describe leaders in terms of their ability to create strategy, develop powerful ideas or mobilise teams into action, but the truth is truly great leadership works through the emotions. Their success is wholly dependent on how they do things.
