Summary |
Most people see leadership as the act of leading someone else. Not Peter Urs Bender. For him, leadership begins with leading ourselves. It means finding out what will bring us fulfillment not in isolation from others but in collaboration with them. He shows that there are two kinds of leaders: leaders-from-without, who are driven by fear, pressures, and elements beyond their control; and leaders-from-within, who are moved by a desire to help, encourage, grow, and realize shared visions.
Bender, who through his seminars and previous publications has helped thousands of Canadians become dynamic speakers, identifies the five key steps to personal and professional leadership from within:
1. Know yourself-identify your values, motivations, and personality type.
2. Have vision and passion-see what you love and love what you do.
3. Take risks-be consistently courageous.
4. Communicate-bring your vision to others, effectively and with confidence.
5. Check progress and results-know where you are, so you can get where you want to go.
