In this episode, I have the great opportunity of speaking with author, entrepreneur, and strategic consultant Gary Laney about his book “Become a Super Leader: The 4 Essential Anchors for Mastering Influential Leadership” as well as his own personal and professional experience regarding leadership.
Successful leadership goes beyond making one’s business function well or making it good and reputable in the eyes of the world, but an important, necessary, and crucial aspect is relationships with one’s staff and employees, clients, and community. Moreover, it is interesting to note that you are not just born a leader, but it is a skill that can be taught, learned, practiced, and improved upon.
Gary shares how Benjamin Franklin’s quest and work on 13 virtues influenced and inspired him to consider and look at 40 competencies that make a good and effective leader based on surveys of various successful business leaders around the world. These different skillsets can make you tap into and become your best version in the business field and perhaps even turn you into a polymath like Franklin himself.
Moreover, a super leader wears many hats and has access to a wealth of knowledge and experience that they can put on and take on at any given moment. Although we may not be multitaskers, we can do, focus, and improve upon various things one at a time. Yet, an important question to ask yourself is what your superpower and your legacy are, and we may start asking ourselves this question at a young age so that we can activate, realize and even go beyond our inherent potential.
