Five actions to take to accelerate IT and business change
The Golden Rule of Leadership
Is not - Switch from being a Manager to being a Leader
Is not - Lead more
Is - you are already leading - in all that you say, in all that you do, in all that you are
You are already communicating, coaching, managing and leading
Even if you sit in your office asleep all day - you are demonstrating yourself as a certain type of leader
Right now, realise the impact you have as a leader
And realise thIs - you already do many things leadership pretty well
As long as you believe in helping other people, you will be doing many things very well
Not the same as other people - after all, you are you
Not the same as you may have done last year - we all change
Simply as you are right now
Have the right motives and care, and people will spot it, and you will be a true leader
