How Exemplary Are You As A Leader? Whether you are just leading yourself, or leading a team of many, working towards a shared vision is what leadership is all about. It takes a shared honest, trust-based relationship with everyone to achieve extraordinary results. Regardless of organization chart position, or the organization’s longevity, there is a need for everyone to align with vision/mission/values, inspire others to perform at their best levels, and help each other achieve exemplary results. Most importantly, leadership isn’t an opportunity for only a select few. For anyone with the desire to achieve exemplary results, there is an opportunity to learn, understand and take action on what it means to be an exemplary leader – regardless of current or future economic conditions, the organization structure or age. For over three decades, thousands of leaders looking to lead more exemplary have begun their journey with Kouzes and Posner’s “Leadership Challenge” Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership.
