Who Inspires the Leader? by Alicia M. Rodriguez

Walk through any Borders or Barnes and Nobles and you will find entire sections devoted to Leadership. The face of leadership now has as many identities as Sybil. Choose the Jack Welch style of leadership and Go with your Gut or choose Kevin Cashman’s Leadership from the Inside Out. You could become a Servant Leader and increase your Emotional Intelligence. You could follow the gospel of Rudolph Giuliani or live by the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. (I’m tired already!)
I spend considerable time helping CEO’s define Leadership for themselves so that they can articulate and define their role as CEO, not only for themselves but as an orientation for their behavior and thinking. Each person is different and each person comes to the position with both assets and liabilities. There does seem to be, however, a common element in all the writings on leadership. The same element appears in profiles of CEO’s who have successfully led their companies through both healthy and difficult times. That element is Inspiration.
The word “inspiration” comes from the Latin “spirare”, or to breathe, to live, to be inspired with. Words such as spirit, soul, animate, to breathe and inspire are all related. So why the Latin lesson?
An important leadership trait is the ability to inspire. Inspiration does not need to be loud and plastered on the front pages of Time magazine. Along with the competencies and traits of strategy, execution, vision, and courage, inspiration adds to the components of effective leadership. Look at how the ability to inspire others contributes to your effectiveness as a CEO. Can you breathe life into an organization that has become complacent? Are your employees driven to high performance by fear or are they animated by pride and a belief in a future that is compelling? Does the spirit of innovation and creativity dwell and grow in your company and its employees? As CEO you are responsible for inspiring others. And finally, who inspires you?
