The Declaration of Leadership Beta V1

The Essence of Leadership

We often get leadership wrong.

No 1: Leadership is assuming responsibility and not a birth right

More than anything leadership is a commitment. It’s a commitment to show up, to change, to take on responsibility, to be challenged, to question yourself, to serve and to be humble.

No 2: Leadership can only be verified by others.

Like in the South African concept of Ubuntu — it is only through the lens of others that we become leaders.

No 3: The only constant is change

The logic changes with every evolution. Leadership is a sensing a listening and then becoming something new. It is also a deconstructing, unbecoming and unlearning.

No 4: Resonance is the marker of success

You can’t fool yourself when it comes to success. We all fall trap to cheating time just to realise that we cheated ourselves being everywhere and nowhere at all.
