Embracing Similarities

"My ideal leader is someone who is Dedicated, Passionate, and Genuine. Leaders create changes for the good of others and not for themselves. Leaders are not selfish. Leaders take interest in their team and help them move forward. Leaders form true relationships with the people they are leading. Leaders motivate and inspire. Leaders create room for creativity. Leaders are PASSIONATE." - Giselle Miselewicz
As I read through Giselle's blog, I came across the above excerpt from her and immediately had an "ah-ha" moment. When looking to define leadership, I could have not said it better myself. Furthermore, I think it is pretty safe to say that I am in utter agreement with Giselle and her perspective as to what leadership really is. We are both individuals who truly believe in seeking the good in others and placing them and their feelings above all else. In addition, we both see the value in motivating and inspiring those on our team to do their best and strive to achieve a goal. Unselfishness is the basis of my leadership theory and I was pleased to see that Giselle values this concept as well. Leaders who are in it for themselves and for the title rarely "do good". However, take a peek at those leaders who "do good" for OTHERS and for the overall sake of attaining a goal as a team... they've got what it takes and I think it is safe to say that these individuals are unselfishly amazing.
