Being a Leader is Not About Ability; It's About Responsibility!

If you are a CEO, President, Vice-President, Manager or Director of any organisation within the Aftermarket, please consider these words to be accountable to the Title that you hold.

Owning/Managing a company or heading an organization does not automatically confer the title of "Leader" upon a person. Leadership today is not just about the "Ability" of an individual, as many people in key roles have great Abilities, but it is how they exercise their Responsibilities. In the end, their lack of understanding their Responsibilities, which is demonstrated through their actions, dramatically hurts the companies profitability and can be the demise of an organization.

Leadership is not about personal ego being messaged day in and day out but instead taking charge of their Responsibilities in that role.

Responsibilities include standing up and showing their passion for their company or organization by addressing anyone who challenges the "concept" of what the company or organization stands for because they actually believe in what the company or organisation is and what it represents.

Responsibility is ensuring that the company or organization performs at a level of excellence, on a timely basis, ensuring the image is accountable not only to their clients/members but also the general public.

Responsibilities include creating the environment and culture where all staff members enjoy a rewarding career through their desire to execute their role with excellence, efficiency and pride.

Responsibility means going the extra mile to secure the company or organisation's future by executing with absolute intensity. A "get it done now" attitude is demonstrated through the actions of the Leader because the Leader truly understands the importance of their role and their Responsibility to get results.

Examine closely the Leadership of successful companies and organizations and I'm confident you will clearly see a strong Responsible approach at the top position. It has nothing to do with luck but everything to do with understanding their complete Responsibilities in their role; after all that is why they hold that position.............that is...the select few Leaders that get it.
