     Looking for  a Qualified Leader

                 What makes someone a qualified to leader? Is it the documents hanging on their wall, or are they qualified because they have the right mix of people skills and technical skills? Some people are qualified long before they ever receive diplomas or documents saying they know how to do the job. Business research has shown that 85% of the skills people need are referred to as "people skills" the softer skills of business and often the more challenging to develop and instruct. The remaining 15% of the skills people need are the technical skills. Everyone needs a mix of both skills, but the technical is often the easier to provide.

           Three key ingredients in making a good leader  are Intuition, Initiative, and Integrity. These skills are taught to us as we grow up as we watch and learn from our role models and the people leading us. Developing our understanding of people and tuning in to our intuition increases our vision as we see more than the person, but we can hear them better and solve problems faster. Intuition, helps us build relationships  as we see what people need and can often answer the unasked question.

         Initiative is an invaluable ingredient for leaders. Corporate cultures valuing teamwork depend on people taking initiative, these businesses understand the importance of empowering employees to solve problems and to move ahead. Settings which restrain initiative decrease the value of team work and decrease productivity.     
        

        Integrity in what we do and how we do it speaks volumes to who we are as a person. In some training sessions I have been doing with some small groups of leaders, I had a woman approach me and share that as a result of this training she was making changes in her approach to work and in her approach to life. She was giving 100% to both because she learned through a demonstration I do that she deserves nothing less. The integrity of her work has increased as has her initiative to give and thus to get more back. How often do people sales themselves short on life because they were unable to learn one of the three "I's" for leadership? Those who have intuition, initiative and integrity don't always know how to initiate it in others. It is like a math teacher that knows the answer but can't explain it for the struggling student. Since we all lead someone and we need to take the initiative to develop ourselves and those who surround us, because it is never too late to be what you want to become.
