WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?
Dr. Wade Larson
President, OTD
Leadership Training Facilitator
I've spent a lifetime exploring that question.
It seems almost elusive and philosophical to the point that some consider it impractical, illogical, and even impossible. Can leadership really make a difference? Does it really impact the bottom line? Am I really able to measure the outcomes of good leadership vs bad leadership?
​
As a lifelong learner who has sought the answer himself...seeking many sources from books, lectures, conferences, speakers, videos, interviews, experiences, inspiration, and even a doctorate in leadership studies.
Yet through all of this, do you know what I learned?
​
Despite all of our so-called accumulated "knowledge" on leadership, we as a human race are just now barely recognizing the true impact of leadership.
​
We have a long way to go to truly understand leadership.
Is leadership power? Yes...
Is leadership service? Yes...
Is leadership influence? Yes...
Is leadership results? Yes...
Is leadership love? Yes...
Is leadership success? Yes...
​
All of the above. None of the above. And so much more!
​
The TRUE definition of leadership comes from WITHIN.
You must define leadership for yourself.
This is part of your journey.
It begins with you...
What do YOU want?
Why do YOU want it?
Answer these questions first...then we can work together to build the strategy that guides us through the "how" to achieve them.
