What distinguishes someone as a true leader?

You are not a Leader if you only manage.... Everywhere we look, we see managers in countless organizations... But what distinguishes someone as a true leader?

Many things that I cannot mention in one post. 😉 So I'll start at the beginning.   

The Mirror I always talk about the mirror... The famous mirror that you regularly see in front of you when you are challenged.... 

In this mirror you only encounter yourself, and how you deal with this determines you as a Leader.

A true leader inspires his team members to grow through his own entrepreneurship in self-reflection and introspection, not only in skills, but also in personal qualities and as a person. 

From here he creates new Leaders. 

🌱 Leaders create trust, Managers manage A powerful difference! Leaders lead the way, show the path and inspire others to follow by creating trust. 

It's not just about coordination, it's about inspiration, and it's not just about accomplishing tasks, it's about bringing a vision to life. Managers ensure that current steps are taken effectively.

🚀 Going the extra mile... A manager manages tasks, processes and teams within established frameworks and, above all, executes to success. 

A leader goes further, forging an inspiring vision that drives the team to collectively achieve more than they thought possible.

🎯 Isn't being a manager enough? Of course, not everyone has to be a leader, and that's okay. Every link and role in an organization is vitally important, but being a manager does not automatically make you a leader. 

They are two different roles, each with their own value. Do you want to transcend from manager to leader? Then it always starts with you... 

Every evolution, change, or movement that you want to activate, starts with yourself. With this insight your journey to Effective Leadership begins!

🤯Too many inspiring quotes to choose from... and as mentioned, many other qualities that are crucial in leadership. This quote held great value for me in my leadership journey!
