Welcome to the June 2004 edition
of “Leadership: It’s All About Trust”.
This is the first issue of a new on-line newsletter from Ellen Castro
regarding leadership in today’s complex world.
Today’s
Leaders
Today’s leaders know
…
·
That
business is transforming daily, not merely evolving.
·
That a
title or position does not confer respect and credibility, and in fact, could be
viewed with contempt.
·
That
the mindset of today’s workforce is different, not just because of diversity,
but due to corporate scandals and world events.
Thus the leaders of the
21st century are cut from a different cloth because
…
·
They
know that each and every choice and action either builds their credibility or
destroys it. THERE ARE NO NEUTRAL
ACTIONS.
·
They
understand that without trust and credibility, they will not be able to motivate
others to achieve the impossible daily.
·
They
know they must go beyond motivation to inspiration to re-kindle the spirit of
their organization by demonstrating compassion and genuine concern for the
welfare of their followers both personally and professionally. And, to affirm how valuable they are and
that their contributions are significant.
·
They
know that actions speak louder than words.
That their enthusiasm and passion drive others to meaningful
success.
Today’s leaders embody courage,
credibility, compassion and enthusiasm in every single moment, in every
way.
Questions for Reflection

more would you like to embody?

yours.
Feel free to share this with a

wisely.
