Expanding your leadership

Expanding your leadership : a journey towards building character. Great leadership is possible whether you are introvert or extrovert, sensitive, or analytic. The challenge is to refine your own talents. To move towards great leadership, learning processes that stimulate character building are needed. You need to stimulate willingness to wrestle with unsettled issues, to ask questions, and to seek knowledge. Character building is a lifelong journey of visiting and revisiting one's personal values, and being willing to act, reflect, and train to grow the skills that are needed to influence others in accordance with the vision. If you want to stimulate individuals to become the best leaders they can be, you can not choose a standard generic, instrumental approach.
