Leadership is about the transformation that changes the hearts and minds of the people that you wish to mobilize and lead. Leading with love makes you connect with peoples hearts so that you inspire their minds and help them change their lives.

What does rethinking leadership mean? There has been so much noise about the important concept of leadership. There are virtually a unlimited number of definitions of leadership. As a result of all this noise, the meaning of leadership lost it’s soul and the term became over commercialized. This talks aims to rethink leadership by going to the core of this word and examining the true role of leadership in life.

Whatever our definition or understanding of leadership, ultimately, it should end up in creating more happiness, success, fulfillment, and prosperity in the lives of people, teams, organizations and society. Or it should reduce unnecessary pain while removing obstacles in the journey of progress and action. If what ultimately what people want is to live in happiness and dignity then the core purpose of leadership is to just that.

Everybody is invited to exercise leadership. Companies or organizations spend billions of dollars on teaching their employees on leadership to encourage to them to lead, but how do we know when to lead and when not to lead? The answer is going to the basics, the fundamentals and that is the common purpose of survival and growth. Every time we feel that that the survival and growth of ourselves or of our families, our organizations, or societies is at risk, than that constitutes our invitation to lead. This highlights the need for leadership as in essence, leadership is about helping people in organizations or in our lives to overcome obstacles and challenges so that they can survive and grow in a volatile world.

To survive and grow, and to lead, we need to understand the five fundamental pillars that will determine the quality of our survival and growth and the success chances of our act of leadership. These pillars are:

1. Know yourself

2. Know others

3. Know systems

4. Know authorities

5. Know leadership technologies (Skills).

This episode will explore each of these pillars and how to utilize them.
