Compelling Leaders in an organization are the strategic difference between exceptional achievement and mediocrity Ben Garber

Nothing can fully take the place of the indespensable work of leadership Theodore Roosevelt

It happens all the time in all kinds of organizations. Someone is placed in a position of leadership, but they lack the skills to engender loyalty, attract followers and use risk as a technique to grow and learn. These are the positional leaders that can bring organizational growth and employee achievement to a halt. What kinds of leaders are there at all levels of your organization? And . . .

Are They Compelling Leaders or Positional Leaders?

Compelling Leaders . . .	Positional Leaders . . .
Lead by the power of their competence	Lead by the power of their position
Are leaders from any position	Only lead when they are the “top” player
Understand what they know and don't know	Think what they don't know is unimportant
Take action	Manage the actions of others
Are always actively learning	Use only their current knowledge
Take risks	Would rather play it safe, taking minimal risks
Learn from risks that fail or succeed	Blame others for failure
Are followed	Are obeyed – or are they?
