“All leaders are inspired by those they admire. Reading about them and studying their
traits inevitably allows an inspiring leader to develop their own traits.”
Rudi Guiliani
Leaders, like the rest of us are all different. That’s a strength, for leaders, followers and of course, their organisations. Although leaders’ personalities will differ, there are certainly traits that they should all hold dear and spend time developing:
what am I going to do with you lot?
or…nurturing your team
“Management is about arranging and telling. Leadership is about nurturing and enhancing”
Tom Peters.
You may recall that Gerald Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster died in August 2016. Like most people I heard of his death via the British media. He was famous for his great wealth generated through his business’s property holdings and investments. Those people who were aware of him would normally refer to him in sentences that included “he’s the richest man in England” or “he makes the Queen look poor”. For most, It was his vast wealth that defined him.
