The ONE Truth Of Leadership

To Those Who Ask What Is The #1 Trait, Skill, Or The Most Important Aspect Of Leadership, And Similar Questions

I get asked many different variations of this question very often when it comes to Leadership.

What is the #1 Trait that great Leaders have?

What is the most Important Skill for Leaders to have?

If I wanted to Focus on an Aspect of Leadership, which would be the most Important?

All of these are interesting questions, and I understand why they are asked so often.

We live in a world where we want shortcuts and a “Top 10 List” to become a Master of any subject in a Week.

However, I have news to break to you.

None of these questions have an answer that will work for everyone.

There is really One Truth to all of these questions.

There is no “ONE” Type of Leadership.

As of 1995, there were over 950 “Academic” Definitions of Leadership.

That was nearly 30 years ago, and that research only Focused on “Academic” definitions.

How many new “Definitions” have sprouted up since 1995?
