9 Keys to Being an Inspirational Leader

9 Keys to Being an Inspirational Leader | Daily Magazine | Scoop.it
From www.linkedin.com - April 26, 2015 4:54 PM
I am fascinated by what it takes to be an extraordinary leader–an inspirational leader. I am fascinated by WHY some leaders seem to magically make a huge impact on the world while others do not  — Steve Jobs being one case in point, as he changed forever the lives of people and the world with his vision.  Let us ponder the question, “Are we all born leaders”? In a certain way I believe we are. We are ultimately leaders of our own lives and destinies. We become leaders of our families and communities, and many take on leadership positions in business. However, holding a leadership title does not guarantee that we have what it takes to inspire others and make a lasting positive impact. I recently came across a quote that speaks to this: “Leaders are not born. They are made. Who makes them? They make themselves.” ~ Peter Castenbaum, Corporate Mystic.

Creating your own images is also an excellent tactic for re-purposing text-only content into enticing images. Here are some examples: Turn quotes into an interesting slideshow, post an event announcement on a pretty picture, place stats onto eye-catching graphs, give a blog post title some pizzaz, create an infographic about the history of your biz, create a catchy, custom featured image for a video, etc. The possibilities are endless.

A picture speaks a thousand words - some good resources here for visual content and creation to add a visual dimension to your messages, which tend to perform much better for opens and clicks than text alone.

Content is shared in many forms.  These tools make it pretty easy to get creative.
