Everyone has the potential to be a leader, regardless of title or position.
But many people give themselves the title of leader, and expect others to think of them as a leader without actually understanding the meaning of leadership.
There are also those who have been positioned as a leader by others. They may be ranked at the top of a hierarchy and hold an important position, but who fail us when we need them.
Whether we are granted the title of leader by others or take it upon ourselves, we must remember that leadership is an honor and a privilege and something that must be earned—because others are counting on us and they are placing their trust in us.
Leadership, regardless of labels, must be earned. In short, you earn leadership by knowing what matters.
Behavior matters. It doesn’t matter what your rank or role may be, where you come from, or if your title sounds impressive, you are not leader if your behaviors don’t demonstrate the integrity of doing the right thing.
Trust matters. Leaders must earn trust. You must set the example, know that you are setting the example, and have a deep understanding that trustworthiness takes character. To be trusting requires values, to be trusted requires earning the privilege.
Service matters. True leaders understand: Leadership is not about you but about those you serve. It is not about ennobling yourself but bringing others up. The best way to earn your leadership is to lose yourself in the service of elevating others.
Influence matters. Leadership is neither a title nor a position, it is a demonstration of character that is worthy of imitation, emulation and inspiration.
“Why” matters. When you dig deep into an organization and employees can tell you the deeper purpose and the mission of their organization, you will discover strong leadership there. Leadership means knowing how to manage and empower every level of your organization.
Earning the title of leader does not depend on how many diplomas we have received, or how much money we make, or what title we decide to give ourselves or if we demand others to follow us.
Leaders in all realms of life and leadership know that the power they have come to hold exists because they have earned the responsibility of serving the many. Leadership is ultimately a position of service, trust, and character not authority.
Lead From Within: Leadership is not patronage, power and position. It is about the service you give to show you care, the trust you bestow to show your integrity, the character you embody. It’s more about reaching out instead of climbing up.

The Leadership Gap: What Gets Between You and Your Greatness
After decades of coaching powerful executives around the world, Lolly Daskal has observed that leaders rise to their positions relying on a specific set of values and traits.

I can remember starting my first job out of college in an “up or out” organization. By year two, you’re promoted from Analyst to Consultant or it’s time to go. Many of my peers walked around with new found bravado and arrogance once they were promoted and officially supervising others. As you would guess, the new title didn’t equal leadership or respect.
This post is important for people new to the workforce and seasoned leaders alike. Titles are wonderful but they’re not essential for leadership. Thanks, Lolly!

Hello Lolly,
Your article resonated with me. I completely agree with you that leading is a privilege, and something that is to be treated sacredly. And before being able to lead, the credibility and authority to do so must be earned.
Your point that “Trust Matters” I believe is the most important because if your people do not trust you, accomplishing the larger goals and inspiring the fulfillment of the greater vision is impossible. Trust in leadership is achieved through following through with what you say and being a leader of action, not just of words. It also means demonstrating the highest attention to ethical behavior and doing the right thing.
Thank you so much for the work you do here at your site! I am looking forward to reading more of your ideas.
Sincerely,
Jeremy

Just this week I was working with an organization where an up and coming leader shared his words of leadership with me. He said that his team is so high performing because whatever the position a person holds, they are respected and valued. He believed that each person no matter their title or background leads when they have the courage to reach out to others and elevate them.
He epitomized what every leader should aspire to. I was inspired and impacted by his words, beliefs and actions. That is great leadership.
Thanks Lolly for an important post that all leaders should read!

Leadership can certainly be read about, studied, and taught, but individuals rarely think about leadership as something we need to earn.
It must be earned one skill at a time. one decision at a time. one connection at a time. one success at a time.

Hi Lolly,
I dearly love the democracy of leadership inherent in your post. There are so many people everywhere, in all walks of life, who earn their daily bread by serving others with diligence and integrity. In return, they earn respect from those they engage and serve. They have no agenda, no strategy and no plan. They know not failure because they have no metric for success. When they lead, it’s effortless because they have not set out to lead, but to serve. They lead by example, not by title. Some are just called Mother.
Thank you for another wonderful post. Missing you and many good friends deeply on #leadfromwithin.

Hi Lolly,
It is a good read especially for me when I just got promoted and leading a small team. Personally I believe leadership is a reflection of the team. Building the foundation and growing as one.

“Influence matters. Leadership is neither a title nor a position, it is a demonstration of character that is worthy of imitation, emulation and inspiration.” Such truth in these words.
I believe that leadership begins with personal leadership. It is not until we have learned how to love, respect and trust ourselves that we are able to be inspire those qualities in those we serve. And perhaps that is why, people choose to follow the leader…

Lolly,
Great article! Leadership is earned through authentic care for others. If the actions do not reflect the personality, leadership is non existent because there will be no followers.
Thanks!

26. Jan, 2014
Alejandro,
Leadership is earned in many different ways. If starts with the heart, if we care about people, if we want to motivate people and see them do better…
We are well on our way of leading and earning that title; of LEADER….
I believe we need to stop managing and begin leading. Show your employees what success looks like and then let go of the reins and allow them to develop and implement their own processes to accomplish the work. This will satisfy their esteem need because they will feel respected for their abilities.
Roger Saunders

Lolli — well stated on each point. Each of these traits come into play for Leaders as they have chosen or been thrust into a path of Leadership.
Management is about “process”, and certainly an vital part of involvement in any organization.
Leadership is about successfully bringing people through change. They will only follow if they believe in your honor, integrity, trustworthiness, and exhibition of commitment to team.

What a wonderful, thoughtful article. I think about the new employee who, because he is well read, shares what he reads, and is willing to help anyone, is now regarded as a guru.
I just forwarded this article to “leads” in my company who are functional leads but who are NOT managers. A couple have struggled with this. They ask, “how can I be a leader if I don’t manage people?” This article speaks to that issue elegantly and will be the topic of an awesome I’ll have with them next week. Thank you!

Leadership is the ability to lead yourself FIRST. True leadership is having a teaching spirit and a servant leaders heart. Often times we tend to think that “leadership” is just about that person teaching or speaking on it, when in reality it is not, it is the ability to remove yourself completely, in order to invest in others by influencing, encouraging and motivating them.
We all have leadership qualities, but it is the true leaders that discover, define and deploy those qualities and ultimately become GREAT leaders.
lollydaskal
26. Jan, 2014
Leadership is not just about developing a brilliant strategy or executing a task perfectly.
Leadership must be earned by getting better day by day and week by week and then apply their skills to improving the lives of other people in your organizations.

Not only a great post, Lolly, but just love the comments from your readers also.
Leadership to me has always included the following::
1) Competency
2) Confident
3) Caring
4) Character
5) Gracious
6) Humble
7) Approachable
Remember, though – – ‘What gets measured, gets done.

“The best way to earn your leadership is to lose yourself in the service of elevating others”.
How true this statement is. Unfortunately, often times we are under the leadership of a “boss” who is just that. They want to keep their people in their “place” so no one surpasses them. Bad move in my opinion.
lollydaskal

The boss who comes from power is a person who is afraid. The leader who leads with fear is scared.
I would show them compassion.

Great insights! I had a young leader that I work with share with me these thoughts; “A Leader’s position in others’ lives shouold be to help promote them in becoming better. Becoming the best version of themself they can acheive. If a leader isn’t providing that to others, they should remove themselves.”

Great article!
I learned very early in my career how much I enjoy working hard to accomplish my goals. I wanted to work hard, give my best effort. I made it a point to do the job the right way and I challenged myself to improve. Soon enough, my performance was recognized and I started training others and became a mentor for new employees…………I did not intend to mentor. I understood why being a mentor was; and still is, important. There’s a lot of power in encouragement, there’s even more power when others learn by good examples. Good leaders know when they serve others that success within an organization become inevitable. When employees are taught the importance of doing what’s right and striving to improve themselves as professionals, they are creating the ground work of good leadership. These words mean so much more to me now as a professional Ieader as I make the extra effort to do what’s right in business, the impact of good integrity is powerful.

Great perspective on the leader’s role. I’ve recently adopted something similar when I speak/present on leadership; anyone can be a leader by title by you are truly a “Leader” when you team tells you that you are. “Leadership is neither a title nor a position, it is a demonstration of character that is worthy of imitation, emulation and inspiration.” Awesome!!!

Leadership truly has to be earned. When one is a leader (self-appointed or promoted or elected) the key thought to remember is that one has been empowered to be a leader and all the points you mention ( as ‘what matters’) are what has to be kept in mind by the leader to project in his/her actions.

There’s far too much talk about company culture and morale in leadership conversations these days – the simple truth is that people see whether or not you work, whether or not you’re positive, and if you’re trying to get more labor out of them. You can’t manipulate your way into inspiring a team; be informed, be positive, and work hard to start.

An awaken and amazing article and filled with worthwhile words. But can anyone to be like in this article? if the answer is YES, he/she must be great leader (in this world).
I catch this meaning some like “spiritual path” and some like business, management, professional path, etc in the real/material world.
I believe whilst any people can do and follow this “path”, what amazing he/she is!, why? because how difficult to implement what you suggest in reality, even difficult do not meaning we can’t do it.
In short, this article really amaze, a great concept, but to be implemented as a course. need to be more deepen and wider then you will “create” the great leadership.
Leadership is art. Leader is an existence/condition, and Manager is position.
Thanks to share a great article.

Great commentary! Indeed, leadership – REAL leadership – of others must be earned and maintained, but that sheds light on the wonderful paradox of it all. Is it leadership that must be earned, or is it followership? True followership by others, earned as a result of consistently demonstrating all the good things: competence, trust, integrity, respect, and ethics.

Hi Lolly,
Once again a very wonderful post. Leadership needs to be earned through trust and actions of words. Generally, when the title of leadership embarks a person, he / she forgets the responsibilty towards his/r people and blooms a sense of pride and oneman show..!! True leaders inspires and cares the people people involved with.

– The leadership of the self. This offer requires leadership in all people. If you can not take the lead yourself. Who is who will be driving yourself. Either you or …? . Person who can not lead himself, is abortive person in his life. Also is a person who can not lead others, absolutely.
– Other leadership (people). It is to lead the group (scientific, political or administrative, etc.). Or the leadership of the community, or the leadership of communities. Requires two conditions provide important, for this leadership:
1) the initial condition: Excellence internal capabilities, are rare. (Talent). Make him a great leader. This is a great person, if that person was able to see his abilities, and give it to reality. Through his talent, and also through the acquisition of information or knowledge, which makes him a great leader, actually. These are geniuses or rare people in this life.
2) The second condition is to gain leadership, gain leadership of these possible to acquire a lot of people through the acquisition of knowledge only. But levels of leadership they have, do not rise more than good. (Scientific, political or administrative, etc.).
While, there are some people who are special in this life. They are who they can reach the highest echelons. Knowledge in the leadership or the leadership in politics or in etc. These are the greats, or geniuses, (rare). Because not all people are geniuses in this life.
Therefore, it is necessary to know yourself. who are you ? So as not to deviate from the right path. Not all people are geniuses in this life.
You have the many concepts of leadership. And I join with you in my view.
Perhaps, some of my words, it is true.
In any case .
Thank you Lolly Daskal.
Thanks to all .

So true. You do not need to have the title ‘leader’ to be a leader. I love that part about reaching out instead of climbing up. There is nothing worse than someone pretending to care to climb the ladder. Be real. Life isn’t about you, it is about what you can do with others – love, trust, unity. Thank you Lolly!
