One of the primary purposes and focus
of the ASPC is leadership – developing
people who lead, manage and operate
high performance training Centres across
the world. I am a strong believer in some
of the key fundamentals of leadership.
It begins with what I endeavor to live by
every day which is to lead by example and
be self-aware. It is important to invest
in yourself. It is important to know your
greatest strengths and to continuously
work on personal and professional
improvement. These attributes are key for
anyone wanting to become a successful
leader. One needs to lead yourself
before you can lead others; you need to
lead yourself well before you can be a
leader worth following. Great leadership
is the key to sustained influence and to
sustained performance. Great leaders last
because they lead themselves first. The
person in the mirror is counting on you to
lead and so are many others.
We need to be intentional in our personal/
professional development plans and take
personal accountability for our leadership
and ask two questions.
1. If not me – who?
2. If not now – when?
Through the ASPC membership and at
the ASPC Forum there is an excellent
opportunity to elevate your leadership
skills. You do not have to be in charge to
take charge!
