Churchill and Ghandi were both exceptional leaders, but with two unique & different leadership ‘shapes’. Their shapes determined their motivation, what they liked doing best and how they derived fulfilment in their leadership roles. Their shape also represented how they liked to lead when working with others, how they liked to get things done, and where their natural gifts, talents, and personal qualities lay.

EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP
Truly effective leadership is rooted in Trust, Informal Authority, has Depth of Character and possesses Vision and Courage.  As an individual, each of us has a distinct leadership ‘shape’ within which we are uniquely equipped but not yet fully developed or mature. Leadership then is as much about who you are as it is about what you do. At its core, leadership is about having influence, and as a consequence, acquiring followers of your vision.

LEADERSHIP CHARACTER
As a leader, we often think of enhancing our influence by developing the behaviour that arises from our Attitude, Skills & Knowledge. Followers, on the other hand, will often decide whether to do so or not based on the “Character” that shines through our behaviour when we connect, which we may or may not be aware of.
