What is leadership ?

The word "leadership" can bring to mind a variety of images. For example:

 A political leader, pursuing a passionate, personal cause.

 An explorer, cutting a path through the jungle for the rest of his group to follow.

 An executive, developing her company's strategy to beat the competition.

Leaders help themselves and others to do the right things. They set direction, build an inspiring
vision, and create something new. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to
"win" as a team or an organization; and it is dynamic, exciting, and inspiring.

Yet, while leaders set the direction, they must also use management skills to guide their people
to the right destination, in a smooth and efficient way.

In this article, we'll focus on the process of leadership. In particular, we'll discuss the
"transformational leadership" model, first proposed by James MacGregor Burns and then
developed by Bernard Bass. This model highlights visionary thinking and bringing about
change, instead of manage
Learn. Engage. Accelerate. Disrupt.

Leadership is influence” - Maxwell

There are many different kinds of leaders, therefore there are no ‘set’ qualities that have to be
present in all leaders. Rather an effective leader draws from a range of personal qualities to
help them deal with different circumstances and challenges.

Part of growing strong as a leader is through expanding our personal qualities. When we are not

strong in a particular quality it is also wise to seek the contributions of others who are strong in

that quality. This asks for a complementary team. The well-organised person can help to

complement the creative person, and the person with the sense of humour can complement the

serious minded person.

 Courage: Does not hide from challenging or scary situations; speaks up for what is right

even if there is opposition.

 Creativity: Thinks of many different ways to solve challenges.

 Loyalty: Stays true to friends and family or team members through difficult times.

 Honesty: Speaks truthfully; acts sincerely; takes responsibility for own feelings and

actions.

 Self-regulation: Controls emotions and sticks to decisions; is disciplined.

  Forgiveness: Accepts shortcomings of others without anger; gives people a second

chance.

 Compassion: Thinks of how others are feeling.

 Intelligence: Learns quickly and thinks of good solutions; has a love of learning.

 Determination: Focuses on goals and works hard to achieve them.

 Enthusiasm: Has lots of energy and excitement for life.

 Humour: Sees the lighter side of life and helps people laugh.

 Fairness: Treats people fairly and advocates for their rights; doesn’t let personal feelings

bias decisions.

 Generosity: Gives freely of time and possessions; demonstrates kindness.

Leadership training

There are certain intricacies in leading that one can never be too prepared for, which is why
leadership training is necessary, regardless of what rank you hold in a company. Our
comprehensive Leadership Skills Training course will help you and/or your staff in developing
leadership skills by starting at the very root of the matter: understanding your personality, so that
you will understand what kind of leadership style is best suited to you. From there, the workshop
will progress into the responsibilities you are expected to undertake while learning how to
become a mentor to others.

Why is this needed now? Evocative leaders are needed in this changing time to draw forth the
best from those they interact with as well as to evoke the kind of higher consciousness required
to address the volatile, complex and ambiguous issues we all face at this time.
Evocative leadership emerges from a culture of interrelatedness, which holds the deep value of
relationship, respect for life and collective wisdom. This training journey involves deep personal
growth along with developing the capacity to evoke life-affirming outcomes in all the rings of
relationship – personal, partnership, community and work – as these rings ripple out to create
global impact

principles and values.

leadership presence.

 Get to know your team and your people, learn how to be trustworthy, the different team

dynamics and to foster a culture of interdependence and accountability.

interdependence, coach your people and produce other leaders.

Coaching Intervention

When we hear the word coach, what comes to mind is one who trains, develops and motivates
a team of athletes to become champions in the playing field. While coaching is principally
concerned with bringing out the best in people and helping them achieve their highest goals, it
essentially applies to any field or aspect of one’s life.

The most popular coaching types are executive coaching, business coaching and life
coaching. Magnates and celebrities like John McCormack, Donna Karan, Oprah Winfrey, and
Hugh Jackman are among the many who have attested to the benefits of coaching.
The International Coach Federation (ICF), the leading global organization for coaches, states
that coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires
to maximize both personal and professional potential. ICF explained that those who engage in a
coaching relationship can expect to gain fresh perspectives on personal challenges and
opportunities, enhanced thinking and decision-making skills, better interpersonal effectiveness,
and increased confidence in carrying out their chosen work and life roles. In its commitment to
 advancing the coaching profession, ICF sets the highest professional and ethical standards;
spearheads programs, training and research on coaching, as well as builds a global network of
credentialed coaches.

For Benchmark Consulting, coaching unlocks the potential of an individual through scientific
processes involving productive, disciplined conversations and other learning reinforcement
activities. The objective is to inspire a holistic transformation encompassing one’s personal and
professional life.

Coaching is now more relevant in the corporate set-up as the complex and constantly changing
business environment calls for new mindsets, new skills, new ways of leading and new business
practices. It is a powerful tool in achieving these and gearing up the organization for the
challenges of tough competition, continuous innovation, and rapid growth.

Benchmark’s Executive Coaching & Team Coaching programs are conducted for progressive
and forward-looking executives, business leaders and companies to enhance leadership
capabilities, incite employee peak performance, promote a “do what it takes” attitude, and most
significantly, reignite their passion to take charge of their lives. These regular executive
coaching and team sessions are system-oriented and results-focused. In our executive
coaching and team coaching programs, we use assessments, goal setting tools and
performance tracking tied to the company’s vision and business objectives.
 Executive Coaching is an individualized approach for executives, managers and leaders
that achieves the following for the individual:
o Deepens awareness of gifts and growth opportunities

o Sharpens leadership competencies
o Expands choices and possibilities

 Team Coaching is usually conducted for leadership teams and business teams, usually
for a maximum of 12 members. This inspired intervention achieves the following for the
group:

o Helps the team manage diversity
o Turns harmful conflicts into productive opportunities for learning
o Promotes team creativity, agility, and maturity
