Leader [lee-der] (noun):
1. The person who leads or commands a group or organization
2. A person followed by others
In today's competitive world, organizations look for Leadership skills even in very young people. They do not expect you to be 35 - 40 yr olds to demonstrate Leadership. They have that expectation even from 25 yr olds. Some of the most successful Leaders today are people under the age of 30.
Our extensive experience (www.stratumconsulting.com) in hiring people for some of the biggest companies in India and working with their CEOs has brought out couple of surprising facts:
(a) Your hard skills and actual knowledge about the job are a very small factor in your promotion and increment. The most important factor are your Leadership skills.
If you see that your colleagues are getting promoted over you or getting better increments than you, despite you having better knowledge and hard skills, then the reason is lack of Leadership skills.
(b) Whether you get selected or rejected during a job interview depends on what Leadership traits you demonstrate in the interview. Your knowledge about the job accounts for less than 50% of the reason for a selection.
If you were expecting to be selected after an interview, and were surprised to get rejected instead, then the reason is lack of Leadership skills.
Our 'Future Leaders Programme' aims to improve your Leadership skills and help you move ahead in life in this extremely competitive world. To become a Leader requires changes to be made in you internally (your attitude and mindset) as well as externally (how others perceive you). Our programme focuses on both these aspects and is customized for you, based on your strengths and weaknesses.
Can you afford to be left behind and watch the world go by? Do you want to remain a Follower or become a Leader?
