Engaging Greatness

September 27th, 2011

“Fully engaged leaders bring out the greatness in themselves and those around them. They’re clear on who they are—their capacity. And they clearly choose how they want their capacity to be reflected in the way they lead and take action; their values, beliefs, vision, and purpose show up in how they communicate, make decisions, and interact with others. They bring out their greatness because they integrate all that they uniquely are into all that they do.”

The above excerpt comes from Engaging Greatness, an engaging article (pun intended) co-authored by iPEC’s President & CEO, D. Luke Iorio, and Managing Partner of Corporate Engagement Services, Zackarie Lemelle, which appears in the September 2011 issue of Leadership Excellence magazine.

Luke and Zack explore a unique view on the much-talked-about subject of engagement; specifically, how employees play a game of follow-the-leader when it comes to the level of engagement, or disengagement, demonstrated by their leader.

- Coach Centric Leaders are individuals who consciously choose to use their ability to influence and impact others to bring about results that are positive — for themselves, others, their organization, and its stakeholders.

- Coach Centric Leaders are leaders whose actions are consistent with their beliefs, values, and principles, and who make those beliefs, values, and principles well known to those they most typically lead. Because of this consistency and openness, their leadership often appears effortless, and their energy is downright contagious.

- Coach Centric Leaders know that every interaction presents the opportunity to lead and to have a positive impact on others.
