This week's  Bainology Thursday Thought addresses leadership for what it is NOT, as opposed to what it is.  Leadership is very likely one of the most misunderstood subjects in the business world today. Leadership has nothing to do with rank and authority; rather than it is built on the ability to have people trust,  follow and be inspired.  Don't let yourself get caught what you "think" leadership is, but it is NOT!

The episode of Bainology Podcast is a special request from a local educator who requested that I do a podcast summary of the Seven Career Enhancers, all in one single podcast; in which he intends to share with his students to discuss. Launching and enhancing your career is a systematic process.  I often tell students that "looking for a job" is a full-time job.  If you do not treat it as such, you will not have the desired results. It takes planning, perseverance, and persistence.
