Day 35 of the 39 Day Challenge. 6 Exercises To Develop Your Leadership Skills.

“You couldn’t lead a dog on a leash…”

That’s what I thought of myself when I first started working at the Rich Dad Company for Robert Kiyosaki. I had no idea how to lead anyone, let alone a team of people.

However, that quickly changed as I started to practice. I began with some simple exercises Robert taught me that have allowed me to develop into the leader I am today.

These activities are so simple that you can start right now, as soon as you are done watching this. They don’t require any money, magical skills or a ton of time. Just your attention and follow-through.

If you use these exercises, accept feedback and follow through, I guarantee you will get results.

Now get to it!

Bill Cawley shares his story and explains how he found the strength and strategies needed to overcome this challenging situation, and how we can all achieve success and happiness using the same approach.

Transformational leadership Series; Transformational Leadership Part II.

Transformational leadership is a leadership when one or more persons engage with others in such a way that leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of motivation and morality. The term was first coined by J.V. Downton in 1973 in Rebel Leadership: Commitment and Charisma in a Revolutionary Process.

James MacGregor Burns (1978) first introduced the concepts of transformational and transactional leadership in his treatment of political leadership, but this term is now used in organizational psychology as well. According to Burns, the difference between transformational and transactional leadership is what leaders and followers offer one another. “Transforming leadership… occurs when one or more persons engage with others in such a way that leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of motivation and morality. Their purposes, which might have started out as separate but related, as in the case of transactional leadership, become fused. Power bases are linked not as counterweights but as mutual support for common purpose. Various names are used for such leadership, some of them derisory: elevating, mobilizing, inspiring, exalting, uplifting, preaching, exhorting, evangelizing. The relationship can be moralistic, of course. But transforming leadership ultimately becomes moral in that it raises the level of human conduct and ethical aspiration of both leader and led, and thus it has a transforming effect on both.” (p. 20)

Transformational leaders offer a purpose that transcends short-term goals and focuses on higher order intrinsic needs. This results in followers identifying with the needs of the leader. The four dimensions of transformational leadership are idealized influence (or charisma), inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individual consideration.
