FLR | [LQ] Leadership Intelligence With Mindsets – Commitment | Friday Leadership Report
Happy Friday,
For the past number of years, we have been coaching clients on Leadership & performance. Over that period, we have worked with thousands of leaders on all kinds of projects.
What differentiates a strong leader from a weak leader?
One key element.
[LQ] Leadership Intelligence
Like IQ & EQ, [LQ] is a unique mix of elements that align a leader’s natural abilities & style with a mature set of skills – it’s the fusion of nature & nurture.
When a leader has good [LQ], we all recognize how it enhances the way they communicate, solve problems, persuade, challenge, & ultimately deliver good results.
Like other intelligence, we all have an innate amount and can be developed & enhanced through frameworks, training & mentoring. IQ, as an example, is not a fixed number & can be improved through identifying learning styles and personalized learning frameworks.
The [LQ] Framework we have developed is based on three fundamental principles.
Leadership of Self
Leadership of Others
Leadership of Organization
The four core building blocks of [LQ] are:
Commitment
Character
Competencies
Culture
This next set of FLR’s series focuses on the [LQ] principles and building blocks.
Commitment is the fundamental starting point in anything in our lives. Nothing great is developed without commitment.
This week, take some time to evaluate your [LQ] through the lens of commitment.
What it is.
Why does it matters.
How it can transform.
Everything.
Along the road with you!
Alan.
