There are conferences, conventions, seminars, workshops, etc., etc. on how you can become a leader - - an effective leader. There are hundred of books written that will tell you how to write your own books (on leadership, of course), classes that will teach you the fundamentals of leadership and mentors that will share with you how they've amassed success and will show you how you can too. I still have problems with that.
In all of my years as a leader in different industries, there is one thing that I have learned: people want true, honest leaders that are transparent. People want leaders that they can “see” themselves in, those that know and can identify with where they’ve been and where they’re trying to go.
So while it may be impressive to spout big words and show off big contracts, think about what you’re really aspiring to do as a leader. Just be honest, be open and be real. Are you?
