Advances In Technology In The World Is Flat
Strong leadership is necessary for the success of any business. Every influential leader will never adapt to the existing circumstances. An effective leader must set goals when implementing this vision. Although distractions happen from time to time, effective leaders always focus on the target. What’s more, outstanding leaders must be excellent communicators to share their vision. An essential skill of leadership is the ability to have a definite vision, especially in the face of setbacks. When the idea is failed, or the opportunity is lost, staying positive and rebounding is an essential skill. When frustration comes, the leader must be able to encourage and motivate your employees to remain positive and resilient. Every great leader helps employees to keep moving forward and stay the course.
After I studied in class about leadership, I think every effective leader also has a fascinating vision to attract others. This vision is often innovative and should aim to drive the organization forward. For example, Simon Sinek in the TED Talk say that Apple’s leader resonates with its customers by promoting its products in ways that are different from most marketing strategies. The facts have been proven that people are not buying products made by Apple, but the company's beliefs and purposes. The company's goal is not to do business with anyone who needs your product but to do business with people who share your philosophy. The leader's fascinating vision makes Apple be a one of the most successful company.
