Keen Sense Of Justice: Leadership Quality That Are Critical For Leaders To Succeed

Posted: Apr 19, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 131 |

Napoleon Hill's" Think and Grow Rich" believed that a leader should possess a keen sense of justice. Any leader with this quality does the right thing even when no one is watching. A true leader follows his own set of codes that dictates his actions in any given situation.  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK Jr.) was such a leader in his fight to end racial segregation and racial discrimination.

MLK Jr. accomplished these changes through civil disobedience and non-violent means. He fought for justice and fairness in the face of danger staying true to his beliefs. People followed and respected MLK Jr. based on a number of factors, but his keen sense of justice was the overshadowing factor that made him a strong leader. A fish stinks from the head down, so naturally his followers will imitate.

If you are truly committed to your beliefs system, then you will do what is right always.  It is very difficult to keep this core trait out of every aspect of your life.  It could seep into your business life as well.  Most businesses with a good grasp of right and wrong tend to have a very strong foundation.  A company that recalls a defective product after finding a defect will be respected.  The company that only does the recall after a whistle blower reveals it is viewed by many in a negative light. The goodwill that is generated by doing the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing can not be measured on a monetary basis.

The desire to make more profit is overshadowed by the desire to do what is right. If your business model is based on lying, cheating and hoodwinking people into coming into your business, then eventually the house of cards will implode. Leaders must true to themselves and respond in a way that ethical and fair and it does not matter whether he or she is under the microscope or not.

    Statistics indicate that approximately 50 percent of new start up businesses fail within the first five years of trading, so it's understandable that most budding entrepreneurs are worried. Still, that must mean that the other 50 percent succeed. What did they manage to do differently? Why were these businesses successful? Well, the majority of successful start-up businesses had the backing of a business mentor...

    As organisations find themselves in places where maps of past experience and cultural biases are not very helpful they need to think what that means for the leaders they want to appoint or develop. Future leaders need to quickly see and understand the underlying assumptions about how the world works in a given community or culture and make a judgment call on how to work if it differs greatly from how their own organisation "does life".

    When talking about leaders and leadership it's not very long before motivation as a topic arrives in the discussion and when you ask people what they know about motivation, Abraham Maslow and his hierarchy of needs will show up fairly soon. Maslow was brought up in the USA, a classic Individualist culture. The problem is many cultures do not see the world that way and as we find ourselves in emerging markets some of our truths may need to be challenged or questioned.

    As organisations seek to recruit and develop talent in emerging markets, specifically in positions of leadership and management, the question of a culturally acceptable base model for such development includes considering what such things as "leadership" represent or mean to the host culture. Leaders need to learn how to have conversations with their people in ways that achieve the organisational objectives and respect the cultural influences.

    Sometimes it feels like the whole world is watching and your mind swims with thoughts of, "I'm going to make a complete fool of myself." Or "what if I fail, then everyone will know." Fear is one of the most powerful emotions. But the fear of being judged by others, is not really the problem in living a life without limits, it's what you do when fear sets in. It's your actions when fear and self-doubt occur, that determines your path to "success" or of feeling "stuck."

    The Credit Repair Magic is an automatic service that allows you to get your credit back on track. This product helps automate the letters that you are required to send to the credit bureaus. For example, if you hire an attorney to repair your credit the fact remains is that you are the main intermediaries in accomplishing this, yet you are paying them monthly for the service.

    We must be steadfast in the decisions that we make and not change them even when nothing is going right. Steven Spielberg is an excellent example of this he made the decision to be movie director from a very early age. Steven Spielberg kept focused on his endgame and he did whatever it took to make his dreams come true.

    Facebook has become one of the least inexpensive ways to generate targeted leads as oppose to using PPC marketing. As I write this post there are two Social Media sites in the Top 10 on Alexa Facebook (#2) and Youtube (#3). MySpace (#18) and Twitter (#12) have slowly crept out of the Top 10 which warrant the question is Social Media a fad?

    My son is engaging on his own personal development without being aware of what he is really doing. He was a very shy person when he was younger and he is consciously working on being more of an extrovert. What in your past that is defining and continues to define you?
