Can you lead and inspire ?

The ability to manage well amid these challenging circumstances distinguishes the average business head from the truly inspirational leader. There is no special magic or whatsoever for the inspirational leaders operate because they understand the business well as anyone else on the team but they do one thing merely important. They give employees roles consistent with their unique skills.

They know how to focus and tap the right people for each job and helping others determine where they can be their best which indirectly creates the opportunity inside the organization. Leaders who can inspire others to achieve more than they believed possible have never been as essential for survival as they are today. In reality, many business heads fail to merit the label "inspirational."
In the Inspiration Continuum lists 10 characteristic signs of an inspirational leader, determine which scale do you fall in:

1. Authentic rather than phony. The words, actions, and beliefs of inspirational leaders are consistent.

2. Reliable rather than erratic. Employees know they can count on inspirational leaders to guide the organization to clearly defined goals on a well-thought-out course. 

3. Anchored rather than disconnected. These leaders are well-positioned in the flow of the business and the organization's culture.

4. Optimistic rather than pessimistic. Inspirational leaders demonstrate a world view of possibility and abundance.

5. Self-aware rather than unconscious. They understand their strengths and passions as well as their vulnerabilities and blind spots, and they work diligently to leverage the former and minimize the latter.

6. Driven by purpose and passion rather than power and fear. Inspirational leaders understand the tremendous power of a well-articulated purpose and a passionate workforce that embraces it.

7. Inclusive rather than divisive. These leaders value the input of others and seek out opinions from a widely diverse base.

8. Focused on others rather than self-focused. Inspirational leaders focus first on creating a positive environment for others and leaving a valued business legacy, and only secondarily on their own needs.

9. Respectful rather than manipulative. As the economic dust begins to settle and organizations reinvent themselves, inspirational leaders recognize that the business environment is dynamic and may require even more changes that affect jobs.

10. Able to foster other leaders rather than demanding followers. Inspirational leaders spend a significant chunk of time identifying and grooming leaders throughout the organization.
