What It Takes To Be A Great Leader - with Roselinde Torres

By John Lee of YourBestYouEver.net

WE all have a fairly firm view of what constitutes a 'great leader'.

For some, it will be a political figure, for others a hugely successful business person.

Then there's the stereotypical 'superhero', or the more mundane incarnation of the inspirational boss.

So what are the qualities demonstrated by a 'true leader'?

And, perhaps more importantly, are today's corporate development programs nurturing our future leaders?

These are among the many questions asked by leadership supremo and senior partner at US-based consulting firm, The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Roselinde Torres.

In the video you can access below, she reveals the surprising findings of a year-long research project - carried out across the world - to an audience at TEDx.

The research examined practices in both commercial and non-profit-making organisations, with certain leaders found to be making a massive global impact, despite limited resources.

From her investigations, Rosalinde assembled the characteristics of great leaders, and what they do differently, as well as the kind of practices others can adopt to grow their own potential.

Among the areas she covers within her presentation are:

* Why traditional development practices no longer work

* Where great leaders focus their attention

* The importance of who you have around you

* The three questions that define leadership in the 21st Century

The video itself is just a few minutes long, but is packed with fascinating insights and practical information.
