Contrary to widespread tradition, leadership is not innate. It is built.
Leadership is indeed the result of long-term work on oneself and on one’s relationship with others. Leadership is also linked to one’s environment, because we are all, in one way or another, products of our environment.
This is particularly evident with the mentalities that leaders display. The book “Comment devenir un leader charismatique et efficace (How to Become a Charismatic and Effective Leader)” by Professors Fweley Diangitukwa and Djawed Sangdel, draws our attention in particular to the mentalities of scarcity and abundance.
“People who develop the scarcity mentality want to have everything for themselves and little for [others]. We tend to see everything from a ‘winner/loser’ perspective. We have the conviction that things are limited, that if someone has part of it, there will be less for oneself. This is the spirit of ‘winner’ type leaders. The Winner leader is afraid to share his profit fairly with others because he would like to be the only winner in the relationship. This type of leader always thinks that any gain for someone other than him implies a personal loss… On the other hand, people who have an abundance mentality use the principle of ‘win/win’ negotiation and that of communication.”
If leadership interests you, concerns you or challenges you, if you want to become a charismatic and effective leader, you must read this book:
