Leadership,\u00a0<\/b>in its simplest form, means\u00a0the act of getting individuals aligned and moving in the same direction toward a desired outcome<\/i>.\u2014Gallup\/Clifton Strengths<\/em><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>

Leadership has many definitions and we\u2019ve shared them over the years. One of our more basic definitions is:\u00a0Taking others where they\u2019ve never gone before and wouldn\u2019t go by themselves.\u00a0<\/i>This covers a lot of territory.\u00a0 Examples include goal attainment, career development, self-awareness, coaching, team synergy, and the list goes on and on.

Gallup, famous for their polling, completed one of their largest studies where over 14,000,000 employees, 2,000 organizations, and 559 job studies provided input for identifying what they viewed as the most essential competencies required for successful leaders. The results:

  1. Build relationships<\/li>
  2. Develop people<\/li>
  3. Lead change<\/li>
  4. Inspire others<\/li>
  5. Think critically<\/li>
  6. Communicate clearly<\/li>
  7. Create accountability<\/li><\/ol>
    We feel we can\u2019t omit\u00a0TRUST\u00a0as an essential competency for leaders. Leaders that are trusted, are viewed as having high levels of integrity, and are considered authentic, make teams thrive and more readily achieve desired goals.

    Lines of communication are open, individual and team confidences grow, and there\u2019s a willingness for innovative thinking and taking risks without the fear of repercussions.

    Effective leaders build a culture where accountability and responsibility are the “norm”. There\u2019s no fear of bad reviews, demotions, or embarrassment, and feedback sessions are actually looked forward to!\u00a0\u00a0They know that their leader will be respectful and honoring while delivering feedback, that the leader truly wants team members and the team to grow and succeed, and that they want to help each individual establish a career path and create and track their progress.

    Claremont Graduate University Professor Paul Zak wrote that people in high trust workplaces compared to low-trust workplaces experienced the following:
