Most leaders are concerned about two types of results: Their own personal success and success of the organization. Although the two areas may seem distinct, in a practical sense they cannot be separated. The purpose of a leader is to achieve results through the activities of other people. Those “other people” together with the leader make up the team or organization. If this group of individuals fails, the leader shares in that fate. If the leader fails, the organization’s goals are not achieved. On the other hand, when the leader succeeds, the organization benefits directly; and when the team reaches its goals, the leader shares in the rewards. Whatever you do to improve your leadership success adds directly to your personal success. Because your purpose as a leader is to achieve results through directing the activities of others, this newsletter has been designed to help you become a more effective, motivational leader.
