It is all about people

In business, it is people who make the difference. Inspirational leadership is the key. So, here is my definition of Inspirational Leadership:
The most important aspect of business leadership is its ability to energize others through actions, ideas, and words. It is more than charismatic leadership as it extends its wings to identify talent, grow talent, trust, empower, and follow up on commitments. Furthermore, it is the ability to create an environment of candor, responsibility, and respect. It is about creating a balance between accountability and inspiration; courageously confronting reality, and consistently building relationships. It encompasses strategic planning and tactical implementation. Leaders display true emotions when appropriate, and contain frustrations when needed. They help others see the vision, the future, and the possibilities so that what seems initially impossible becomes possible. This leadership is not a dreaming or imaginary endeavor because it is reality based. In this expedition, reality becomes the subject of thinking, reflection-learning, and improvements not the constraint of innovation and change.
