When asked the question “What is a leader?” most people reply with things like: someone who is charismatic, makes good decisions, a good listener, etc. But what Bill Stinnett, Ph.D. (L.E.T. Master Trainer) explains is that those are only qualities of what a good leader can be, but not actually what a leader is. Stinnett’s explanation of a leader is simply when other people choose to follow him/her. He reminds us that even though an individual may be placed in a leadership position – they might not necessarily be a truly effective leader. Effective leadership training, such as L.E.T., gives those in leadership positions the skills that will most likely influence others to follow them.
