Leadership is a buzzword; countless bestselling books, articles and blogs have been written about leadership. Courses and executive retreats dedicated to leadership training are everywhere.

Although humility is a universal virtue, it's also quite rare. How many times a day do you meet people who seem remarkably humble? How often do you tell your work colleagues — or boss — that they should think more highly of themselves? And when was the last time you saw a famous businessperson or politician display genuine signs of modesty, self-criticism or self-doubt?

Countless people have written on what it means to be a leader. And almost everyone identifies influence as the primary characteristic.
By definition, this means that leadership and position are two different things. Holding a title and a high rung on the company org chart doesn’t mean you’re a leader. Even people without these things can exert influence and thus leadership.

Skip Prichard Leadership Insights
I recently had a small leak in our roof. You would think that it would be a simple fix.
We called a roofer who came out and poked around the roof. He said he would get back to us with an estimate that evening.
The sun went down, the sun came up, the sun went down, the sun came up. We called and asked.
No answer. Weeks went by. We tried another roofer. This time we didn’t get the estimate when he said he would, and he told us he just was too busy. And then another.
We just laughed at that point.

Business leaders make decisions each day: big and small, positive and negative. All of them affect employees, customers, shareholders, communities and even society as a whole. To make these decisions in moral and ethical ways, I believe we must adapt the essential qualities of a leader.

Leadership & Learning with Kevin Eikenberry
The work of a leader can get harried, rushed and stressful. The challenge is to not let the stress negatively impact our health, our productivity or our results. That's why I suggest you find ways to create a circle of calm in the storm and stresses of work and leadership.
When you create a circle of calm, you have a chance to respond rather than react.

David Roberts writes: When I was 10 years old, my parents allowed me to have a birthday party to celebrate the occasion of hitting "double digits." Birthday parties were simple then, so it was just a few friends at my house for games, cake and ice cream. During the course of the party, some of my friends began to play with a beach ball and would not let me into play, so I took the ball and locked it in the bathroom. This allowed me to remain the center of attention.
