My Favorite Way to Think About Leadership: Part 2

November 4, 2009 by Bret L. Simmons · Filed under: Leadership, Trust, Video

 

This is the last video I made the morning of my recent visit to Lake Tahoe.  Here is second way I love to think about leadership:

Others also talk about leadership as a relationship (e.g. Kouzes and Posner) but I just happened to get this specific definition from a text by Richard Daft.  In this video I only focus on the relationship aspect of this concept, and in four minutes I barely scratch the surface of how important relationship is to leadership.  If I left anything out – and I’m sure that I did – please share your thoughts about the importance of relationship to leadership at the end of this post.
