Do You Have The Quality FOCUS, To Be A Real Leader?

By Richard BrodySubmitted On September 2, 2018

  

Have you ever wondered, why, although, so many are, either, elected, selected, or ascend to, positions of leadership, so few, actually, become quality leaders? One can not, merely, want to hold a position, or even, believe, he has the vital, vibrant vision, and other qualities, needed to be an effective leader, until/ unless, this is accompanied by, the true FOCUS, needed, and necessary, there is little possibility, of becoming an effective, relevant, meaningful, sustainable leader! With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly examine, consider, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means and represents, and why it is significant.

1. Face facts; future; fruition: One can not make a meaningful difference, if he buries, his head, in the sand, and proceeds, in a state - of - denial! Greatness comes from openly facing facts, and proceeding in a well - considered manner, in order to create, the best possible future, for the group. However, this alone, is not enough, but must include, the energy, persistence, and endurance, to bring his ideas, and vision, to fruition!

2. Options; opportunities; organized: There is nearly, always, numerous options, and alternatives, and how to proceed. No one individual has all the answers, and, thus, it is significant, and essential, to proceed, with an open - mind, and be ready, willing and able, to recognize and take advantage of the opportunities, which present themselves, and/ or, create his own best opportunity! This won't make the difference, needed, and sought, unless one proceeds, in an organized, prepared, well - planned, manner!

3. Character; creative; cooperative: One of the reasons, it is so difficult and challenging, to identify, individuals, most capable of effectively leading, is, the intangible, known as one's character! One must believe in the possibilities, and proceed, in a creative manner, focused on the best, most relevant, sustainable, path to take! Rather than polarizing, or being adversarial, the ideal leader, proceeds, in a cooperative manner, seeking a meeting, of the minds, and the common good!

4. Unique; useful; usable: What makes one person, uniquely, capable of effectively leading, at a particular point, in time? Seek leaders, with useful, usable ideas, rather than those, who merely make empty promises, using some form of rhetoric!

5. Strengths; stronger; service; sustainable; system; solutions: What strengths, do you believe, effective leaders, need? How will one, make the group stronger, focusing on service, and the finest, sustainable solutions? Is his system viable, realistic, and relevant?

Will you be a quality leader? How will you ensure, you proceed, with the FOCUS, to make the best difference?
