An anonymous, reported by Ilead365 (http://www.ilead365.com/) spends some words on skills that characterize a leader, wether is a matter of authority, power or strength.
For those being managers or those aspiring to be so, a question is the main pillar to sit on: The fact is if we are leading from a basis of power or authority, or if the leadership comes from a recognized personal strength.
Of course is not a single and unanimous answer to this dilemma. Is a matter of using the right management technique, in the right moment.
Is a matter of fact that part of the authority comes from the hierarchical position you own and that is endorsed by company internal mechanisms.
In my opinion this side of authority is better spent externally of your organization (you peers), while internally is better to lead because of being a recognized leader.
Being or becoming a leader whose power is given and confirmed by your people (over whom that power will be exercised), is generally the key for a well performing organization.
And results will soon follow. For both you and your people.
And rewards should follow the same logical path: you and your people.
