In business leadership is one of the most common things discussed when exploring this topic. Bussinesses at their heart are an organization of people working together for a common goal, each one having an interested within the company, that are not always the same in practice, but in theory should be: the health of the business.
I am passionate about leadership because I believe it to be the most essential element in a business equation. Without good leadership, I do not believe that a business can become successful. It is leadership that puts the right workers in the right places to do the right things in order to accomplish what needs to be done for the business. There is a different between good management and good leaders. In a Pychology Today article in which Peter Drucker is quoted as having said, “management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” But more than that, and as the word implies, leadership is not just about doing your own job right, but convincing others to do a good job themselves. (All About Leadership, 1)
In order to do that, as another psychology today business article mentioned as one of the 7 things that leaders do differently, is nurture healthy relationships. People are not going to follow you if they do not trust you and in order to trust you they must know you. Trust comes from relationships, and just like a good relationship can turn into a bad one, trust can be lost. (Seven Things Leaders Do Differently, 2)
Leadership doesn’t necessarily mean good leadership, as there is such a thing as bad leadership. This is why I am passionate not only about leadership, but good leadership, an essential element for influences positive outcomes in life.
