Tips for Transformational Leaders - The most important leadership decision

The difference between a manager and a leader is the decision based on one question,  ‘Do you want to be a leader?’.

This is not an easy decision to make.    What if something goes wrong? Will you get blamed for actions that are not fully under your control? What if people won’t follow you? What if you make the wrong decision?  Many would-be leaders are afraid of the embarrassment and difficulties of failure.  

People have the capability of becoming great leaders but never accept the challenge.   They go through life with a fear that limits the success they could achieve and the positive impact they could have on others.  

Remember, with the promotion to the position of a people manager, everyone starts equally as a would-be leader and faces the same fears.  Those that are successful make a conscious decision to be a leader.
