Lead with purpose

Many times in my coaching and consulting work I encounter leaders who have stumbled into their leadership roles. They might be entrepreneurs whose great idea blossomed into a company with numerous employees. Or perhaps they were promoted to a leadership role in an organization because of their technical expertise, rather than their outstanding people and managerial skills. However, being talented at what you do (i.e. outstanding engineers, project managers, sales) does not necessarily translate into being competent in motivating and leading other individuals to a mutual goal.
