Julio Garreaud The Human Architect

Attitude is “the critical” factor in leadership and many leaders have never been taught the right attitude of leadership.
Few leaders understand that caring for the people they lead is the most important quality to convey. Let’s be honest, who taught you how to lead? Leadership isn’t offered at most colleges as a major or even in high school as a course although it should be. Most of your leadership training good or bad has been a product of the leadership you have experienced.
The reality is this, all of us are leaders everywhere we spend time.
We are leaders at work, home, at church or any where we have the opportunity to influence people. The one attitude that parallels all great leaders is a condition of the heart. They actually care about the people that they lead, it sounds very simple but it is really hard to find in a leader. How many leaders have you experienced that actually cared about you? If you are a leader right now, do you actually care for the people you lead? If you do it can make all the difference in the world in your leadership, if you don’t it can make all the difference in the world. Being a caring leader is leadership’s best kept secret.
