Becoming a leader is no small task, in part because the experts don’t agree on what leadership means, how to do it or what it looks like when people get it right.

In spite of the confusion and contradiction among experts, some people do become leaders. In general, they have to confront the fact that almost everything they’ve come to know of leadership is, at best, something else – entrepreneurship, management, marketing, or personal discipline.

In this time of crisis, companies are in dire need to retain their talent and to build them to be leaders. The idea that a leader is one person in the company is outdated. Today the essence of leadership is to empower diverse people within the company so that they are enrolled into the vision of the company and are willing to take accountability to design the future of the company. This would make an environment where innovation will foster and people will get close to their inner sense of creativity and passion – genesis of the future of the company.

” A leader is most effective when people barely know he exists. When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, his troops will feel they did it” – Lao Tzu.
