The politician makes promises and is motivated by pride, ego, notoriety and personal success. The statesman keeps commitments, is motivated by service above and beyond self, and by making a lasting difference. The typical politician spews tired rhetoric while lining their pockets, and has little hope for becoming significant.

Read on and find out… People who attempt to lead out of self-serving motivations or misplaced intentions are not really leading – they are pursuing power, glory and status. It is love for those you lead that allows for right thinking, proper perspective, and pure motivations. This is the antithesis of true leadership.

The truth of the matter is that few things have inspired and motivated me over the years like the quiet confidence and humility of great leaders.

Sure it is…but it is much, much more difficult, rarely sustainable, and leaders who lack humility are always called into question with regard to motives and agendas. When you think of a true leader do you envision someone who displays a quiet confidence or a blatant arrogance? Is it possible to be a leader without being humble?

If your company’s long-term business plan requires the acquisition, or retention of the uber employee then your business not only has a risk management issue, but it is likely not scalable.

We are compelled to bind ourselves to the external world and have a fundamental motivation to believe that our perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors are correct. Poorly handled change management causes employees frustration, discomfort, disengagement, and a hasty search to reconnect with other more meaningful frameworks in their lives.

And as odd as it may sound, one of the greatest impediments to building productive teams is practicing management by consensus. To be blunt, the concept of equality in the workplace has only made team building more difficult as employees seem to have a sense of undeserved entitlement with regard to their roles and responsibilities.

When plans are re-aligned, expectations management is the key. This not only motivates them to think about their work, but also ensures a better buy-in of plans.

Their title may read “Project Leader” and they may be managing a few people, but that does not make them real leaders. Few years back, I heard a project manager saying, “I will screw him up if he does not complete this module today”. Statements like these tell us more about the attitude of the project manager.
