I was asked to spend a few moments discussing my views on leadership. And so I'll start with what leadership is not. In today's business environment, leadership isn't defined by position, or level, or title, or control. And leadership is no longer about controlling decision-making. Leadership isn't about hierarchy, or title, or status.
Leadership is about the ability to influence, to have an impact, the ability to master change.
It's about creating the right environment for people to make a contribution. It is about enablement and empowerment. And of course because that's what leadership is it comes in all kinds of packages. It's about setting the frame and then setting people free to contribute in their own way and then fulfill their potential. Leadership is also about responsibility.
