Leadership basics I wish I had learned earlier - Part III
This blog on leadership has three sections. Part I, as Simon Sinek suggests, starts with “why”; why are we talking about leadership at all? Part II focuses on “what”; what leaders actually do for work. And Part III focuses on the “how”; how you can develop your leadership values and most importantly habits. In the first two parts of this series I discussed servant leadership and expanded upon that by looking at the primary role of any leader. Now, let's say you are interested in pursuing a leadership position someday. How do you go about preparing for that? Best as I can tell, you’re really going to be on your own, so I do hope this blog gives you some helpful thoughts. I will acknowledge that many corporations often have some kind of “leadership development program”. Participants rotate through various positions over the course of a few years and gain valuable experience plying their trade, but as far as “leadership development”, these programs tend to be sorely lacking.
