It’s impossible for a title or an organizational chart to reflect all the many people who act as leaders, or exert leadership throughout the organization. Leadership Large and Small. Yes, those history-making events certainly marked extraordinary acts of leadership and courage. Leaders Increase ROI. But none are trivial.

With nearly 30 years of experience in my rear view mirror, I can best describe the process of successful leadership as somehow getting a giant boulder up, and then over, a steep hill – a boulder not only filled with the accumulated weight of our talents and expectations, but with those of our teammates as well.

The word education seems more appropriate. ’ Education teaches you, ‘why.’ Educate employees to make them better people BEFORE you throw them into the market. Continuing education. But my best guess is that you are not educating or being educated in most of these critical elements.

In former roles, in managing leadership development programs at large companies, I would always take the time to talk to participants before and after they attended an external executive development program.

Buyers tend to be far more educated on what is available in the marketplace now. Sales pros need to work with the buying team, and perhaps their finance staff, in computing a positive return on investment (ROI) that is substantially beyond a beak-even.
