The most important quality of leadership, the one quality for which you want to be known, is extraordinary performance, with the goal of achieving extraordinary results.

These results then serve as an inspiration to others to perform at equally exceptional levels. People ascribe leadership to those men and women who they feel can most enable them to achieve important goals or objectives.

Why People Respect You…
We develop great perceptions of those men and women we can count on to help us achieve what is important to us. Men and women who make great sales, or who establish admirable sales records, develop influence in the minds and hearts of their coworkers and superiors. They are spoken about in the most positive way.

It was leadership experts John Maxwell and Jim Dornan who said “When you empower people, you’re not influencing just them; you’re influencing all the people they influence.”

But, what exactly is empowerment? It is a buzz word that we hear all the time, but what does it really mean? Well, the word “empowerment” can be defined as “to give the ability to.” So, when we empower someone we are actually giving them the ability to do something.
