Motivational Leadership: Inspiring Greatness Video Lecture | Be a Leader: Leadership Development Course - Management

hi there let's talk today about
motivational leadership inspiring
greatness in life it doesn't matter
where you're coming from all that
matters is where you're going and how
are you going to get there aside from
what you want to accomplish what kind of
a person do you want to become as the
result of all your work and effort men
and women who achieve great things in
life are invariably those who give a lot
of thought to their own evolution and
growth they become exceptional people by
design not by accident successful people
are like master craftsmen or crafts
women continually shaping and polishing
their characters and personalities so
that they evolve and grow into someone
important and worthwhile and so should
you now the highest goal you can have
for yourself is to become a leader to
become an outstanding man or woman who
has looked up to and admired and
respected by all the people around you
motivational leadership is the ability
to uplift and inspire people to perform
at their best personal leadership on the
other hand is the ability to motivate
yourself to do the things and be the
kind of person that make you into a
motivational leader now both of these
are important and necessary for maximum
performance
they are flip sides of the same coin the
starting point of personal leadership
motivational leadership is to begin
seeing yourself as a role model seeing
yourself as an example to other people
see yourself as a person who sets the
standards that others follow a key
leadership characteristic is to set high
standards of accountability for yourself
and for other people
leaders assume that others are watching
them and then they set their own
standards by what you do they in fact
lead by example as top leaders do just
exactly as though someone were following
them around secretly taking notes and
photographs of their daily actions for
others to see and act on motivational
leadership is based on the law of a
direct effort according to this law most
things in human life are achieved more
easily by indirect means rather than by
direct means you more easily become a
leader to others by demonstrating that
you have the qualities of leadership
than you do by ordering others to follow
your directions instead of trying to get
other people to emulate you you instead
concentrate on living a life that is so
admirable that others want to be like
you without your saying a word in
business for example there are several
kinds of power
two of these are ascribed power and
position power now position power is the
power that comes with a job title or a
position in any organization if you
become a manager in a company you have
automatically achieve certain powers and
privileges that go along with your rank
you can tell people what to do and make
certain decisions you can be a leader
whether anyone likes you or not
ascribed power on the other hand is the
power you attract to yourself by the
kind of person you really are inside in
every organization there are people who
are in orderly influential and looked up
to by others even though their positions
may not be that high yet on the
organizational chart these are the men
and women who are great leaders because
of the quality of the people they have
become because of their characters and
their personalities perhaps the most
powerful of motivational leaders is the
person who practices what is called
servant leadership Confucius said he who
would be master of all must be servant
of all the person who sees himself or
herself as a servant and who does
everything possible to help others to
perform their best is practicing the
highest form of servant leadership now
we've been led to believe over the years
that leaders are those who strive boldly
and exuded confidence and and give
orders and make decisions for others to
carry out however that's all at school
the leader of today is the one who asks
questions listens carefully plans
diligently and then builds consensus
amongst all those necessary for
achieving the goals a leader does not
try to do it all by himself or herself a
leader is a person who gets things done
by helping others to help themselves the
mark of true leaders today is that they
lead the action they are willing to go
first they set the example and act as
the role model they do what they expect
others to do you become a motivational
leader by motivating yourself and you
motivate yourself by striving toward
excellence by committing yourself to
becoming everything that you're capable
of becoming
you'll motivate yourself by throwing
your whole heart into doing your job in
an excellent fashion you motivate others
by continuing looking for ways to help
them to improve their lives and achieve
their goals you become a motivational
leader by becoming the kind of person
that others want to get behind and
support in every way your main job is to
take complete control over your own
personal evolution and become a leader
in every area of your life you could ask
for nothing more and you should settle
for nothing less
