TRULY INSPIRATIONAL LEADERS
Posted on August 16, 2011 by Stephen Clarke, One of Thousands of Executive Coaches on Noomii.
How do you differentiate yourself as a leader?
Have you ever had the pleasure of working for a boss or at least having contact with someone else’s boss who just seems to “have it all?” By that I mean people are drawn to the leader. People look up to him/her. People have good feelings when they are around him/her. This leader seems to have an aura that draws people closer and inspires them.
There are many reasons this happens and one of the reasons is “energy.” Some people just exude positive energy which draws people to them. Some leaders just seem to have this energy naturally while others have mysteriously developed it. So let’s talk about what it takes to develop powerfully, positive energy for you, as a leader.
Dr. Bruce D. Schneider, the creator of “Energy Leadership” states, “Energy LeadershipTM is the process that develops a personally effective style of leadership that positively influences and changes not only yourself, but also those with whom you work and interact, as well as your organization as a whole.”
Dr. Schneider has created a cadre’ of Energy Leadership Coaches (I am one) who are certified in the field and can help you become more aware of your personal power, and how to become a powerful leader who motivates those around you to achieve their true potential.
Following the Energy Leadership program, you will recognize the seven distinct levels of energy. You will learn how to distinguish truly effective leaders from those who deplete the energy of the people around them and specific techniques you can use to shift the energy levels of the people around you to inspire peak performance.
Sound good? It should because as you develop mastery of your energy levels people you interface with will see the difference. Your board of directors, your boss, your significant other will all reap the benefits of your mastery. Be one of those people who inspire confidence and success!

LEADERSHIP DURING TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES
Leadership during the best of economic times poses its challenges but those challenges and more are heightened when the economy is tough and employees are worried about jobs, bills and survival itself.
Leadership is a dynamic process and an evolutionary journey for all of us. Leaders must continually assess the factors of business and the attitudes and behaviors of employees to keep their organizations viable. Many leaders deal with their own “demons” in tough times and it can help to work with a coach to help maintain focus, clarity, and strategies for organizations to not only survive, but to prosper.
The old adage, “It’s lonely at the top” is true. Few if any people understand the burdens faced by top executives and to say executives don’t fall victim to depression and worry is not realistic. A professional, certified leadership coach can help move the leader to the future and help them handle the difficult pressures of the present.
