Simply put, leadership is the ability to accomplish goals through the direction of others. In this vein, great leaders do this effectively, consistently, and in a variety of circumstances. But how? Is it Charisma? Is it Power? Wisdom? Education? Experience? Superhuman Perfection?
We assert that it is humanness.
Leadership is also an interaction among people. Leaders who know their direct reports, as unique individuals, are better able to help them understand their part and find the intrinsic motivation to want to participate. And, we've found that the most effective way to get folks to follow your lead is to show them that you are human. Authenticity, integrity, and vulnerability go a long way toward building trust and psychologically safe, high-performance cultures.
To know and understand oneself is the foundational first step to better recognizing and leveraging the talents of others. This is leadership from the inside out. And those organizations that create the structures that empower their leaders to better know themselves, and others, set themselves apart as extraordinary and set themselves up for success.
Lincoln Leadership has been focused on the development of the whole leader - physically, mentally, and emotionally - for nearly 20 years.
Through science-based assessments and methodologies, and proprietary systems, we coach leaders to build self-awareness, emotional intelligence, empathy, effective communication, and relationship agility.
The world is complex. Humans are complex. Now, more than ever, we can’t afford to limit leaders to cognitive abilities alone. Human leadership, Whole Person Leadership is leadership for the 21st Century.
