Is Leadership Only for Those in the Workforce and in
Management Positions?
Nowadays, there are
leadership concepts that
seem to be exclusive to
those in the workforce, but
overall these concepts are
useful to everyone.
The reality is that the
courses and classes are
geared towards people in
positions in management
because of a marketing
strategy that assumes these
employees are the ones
with the money to invest in
learning these strategies.
Here at VIVA NOLA
Magazine, we understand
leadership is necessary for
all aspects in life, and we
offer this “Lead up” section
as our commitment to offer
information and tools for
everybody in any role in life.
A leader could be someone
at a school, at a market,
within their own household,
or in a place of employment,
but a leader is most
necessary in everyone’s own
life.
Let’s think about school. You
usually remember that one
teacher who really wanted
you to learn, the one who
was calm, and the one you
could tell was enjoying
what he or she was doing.
This teacher was inspiring
you to learn and made his
particular subject interesting
and meaningful to you.
You most likely liked that
class the most because the
teacher was able to convey
a love and an interest for

his job. Some of the traits
displayed by the teacher are
found in leadership traits.
There is a model of
leadership that has lasted
over time called “The
Extraordinary Leader.”
This model was created
by Zenger Folkman, a
global company dedicated
to leadership training,
and its founders describe
this model as a simple,
scientifically validated
model to achieve greater
achievements.
The Extraordinary Leader is
based on 16 competencies
that distinguish 10
percent of the best
leaders worldwide. These
competencies are grouped
into 5 dimensions, which we
show in the graph.
The good news is that
anyone can develop
or strengthen these
dimensions and doing
so can make everybody
exceptional in the different
roles of life.
Pathfinder, a business and
personal development
coaching company, and VIVA
NOLA have partnered to
offer a master class, at the
end of June, to identify your
strengths within the five
pillars of The Extraordinary
Leader and what you can do
to develop them.
