"Effective leaders are not preachers, they are doers."
- Peter Drucker
Following the theme Mr. Drucker laid out for us, I'd like you to help me finish this phrase.
"An Effective Leader..............."
- Creates vision
- Instills confidence
- Reduces chaos
- Actively listens
- Elicits teamwork
- Commands respect
- Shows compassion
What am I missing? I know there are many more doings of an effective leader! I'd love to have your input!

How about these -
* Inspires others
* Duplicates himself
* Recognizes potential
Is authentic!
Breaks the rules without breaking the system
Bob - "Duplicates himself"...I like that! Also, I do think it's very important that a leader can inspire others.
Karen - I've always believed in authenticity, and I think a leader definitely needs to be authentic. People can see right through "fake!"
Tim - Now that's a great addition!! And, it's one I struggle with. I think many leaders get in a comfort zone, and then fail to challenge rules. The problem with this is:
1) It's boring - the spiciness of leadership becomes bland
2) Comfort begins to give way to apathy (I think this goes back to #1. Comfort is boring)
Thank you all for great additions to the list! I'm excited to see what others come up with.
