Life Coach - Kaikaku - 7 - Leadership check list

Are you truly a leader? Here is a simple checklist that validates whether you or. I trust your honour code as you do not have to share your answers.

  1. You have a vision - the vision for the COAS will be different from the vision for the CO. So how do you define what your vision should be? The vision is nothing but the reason for your existence.
  2. You have a strategy to achieve the vision - most of the time I have no clue on the strategy, but what I do is start out on my perceived correct strategy, open myself for feedback and constantly course correct and at times give up my perceived strategy completely
  3. You can evaluate talent with respect to implementation of the strategy - right man for the right job
  4. You are able to mold your team to fit the roles - hand holding, micromanagement, mentoring and empowerment - whatever works
  5. You are able to motivate your team - sam, dam, dand, bhed
  6. You dont give up - persistence and patience
You are either a leader or are not. Whether you succeed or not is never the parameter of success. As Bill Gates in his recent interview said the he was simply at the right time and right place with right skills. Success was the mere outcome of the above 6 points.
