Leadership skills
Good leadership skills are essential in your leadership journey as well.
[pic]
A pilot requires psychomotor skills and flying skills to properly fly a plane. He takes years and years to hone those skills to become a master at them so that he can be an expert at flying the plane.
Similarly, a leader has his set of skills he has to learn to become an effective leader.
Skills have a multiplier effect on your efforts as a leader.
For example, have you ever tried hitting a nail into the wall using just a wooden block? Perhaps you didn’t have a hammer nearby and you just wanted that nail into the wall in the shortest time possible so that you could get your picture up on the wall.
You would have found out that it was much tougher than using a hammer. This is what the hammer does: to achieve a certain result (hitting the nail into the wall) with lesser effort, leading to greater leverage.
A skill set is like the hammer in this illustration. A honed skill set can bring you out greater results with much less effort on your part.
If you have spent years honing your public speaking skills, you’ll find that one inspiring speech from you can motivate, inspire and even transform hundreds of individuals in your organization! But seriously, how many of us can claim that for our own lives? We’ll be glad if our followers listen to instructions as they’re told!
That said, your time spent honing these skills will have multiplier effect on your life. It may seem that you’re just wasting your time learning these skills; but no you’re not.

    Ted Jfk Persuasive Speech

    Over the years I’ve witnessed to some gifted public speakers. People like Ted Kennedy (yes I’m met him a few times) who had a power and forcefulness to his voice that painted mental imagery so strong you would swear you can see his words. John Bingham from Runner Magazine, he had jokes, but could captivate his audience through a shared passion that made strangers feel like they knew each other. Retired Chief Terry Savoie who delivered a speak at an awards banquet with the slogan “life ain’t fair…win anyway”. All three of these people had one thing in common, a message. They had the ability to deliver a message to their audience. Their vision became yours. You could see the images they described like a paint hanging in a museum, beautiful and…

    “Public speech is the most valuable skill you can learn.” That’s the line that seems to start every awards ceremony spiel, every college essay, every application for speech captainship...oh hey, look. But despite the popularity of this idea, I feel there is a distinction to be made between the value of public speaking, and the value of being on the Neuqua Valley Speech Team. Over two years, I’ve learned that being a part of this team is more than just learning how to act, write, or prep a broadcast – it’s about learning how to connect with people, both in rounds and in real life. It is about responsibility and commitment to something greater than yourself. It is about striving to bring out the best in people. It is about discovering who you are through teamwork and collaboration, and I want next year’s novices to understand that. As a captain, I know that I can go beyond simply carrying out tasks and…

    The video, "Brilliant Public Speaking," discussed practices that a public speaker can use in order to be more effective when delivering the intended message. Getting prepared is the most important part to delivering an effective message. Without preparation, the invitation for disaster exist. Rehearsing the presentation in front of a mirror, or using a video recorder to record yourself can give you a better perspective on how you look while speaking. Dress appropriately, but just a bit different from everyone else. Standing out from the rest of the people there, will set you apart from the start. During the opening remarks, capture the audience with a bang of an opening statement. Make them want more.…

    However, in my perspective, there is too often a temptation to view leadership as exclusively a couple or a handful of skills. That’s a mistake. I’m looking to mature as a leader by more than a single skill – because leadership has always been more than the sum of its parts. What a leader should be able to do is to take initiative, adapt, navigate ambiguity, display ingenuity, think outside the box, plan inside it, take orders, give orders, solve problems, find questions, easily handle complexity, work in a team, work independently, lead. “Specialization,” Robert Heinlein said, “is for…

    Leaders are often expected to be well-rounded individuals and have few weaknesses. In reality, most leaders only have expertise in specific areas. Experience and college education, do not guarantee that one will success in all sectors. I noticed when I attempt to become an expert in all aspects of my life; I place myself at risk by spreading myself too thin, which leads to becoming ineffective. I believe it is important to recognize my strengths and weaknesses. After reading Learning Leadership: The five fundamentals of becoming an exceptional leader, I learned that an excellent leader must master many skills to be an effective leader. One of the most important skills is the ability to learn. Learning Leadership has taught me that leaders…
