{"content":[{"text":"Achieve. Attaining the promised results, on time and within budget, is a key attribute of \n successful leaders. This means getting results through others, not on your own or with little \n involvement of your team. Related aspects of achievement include: sense of urgency, strong \n drive for results, dependability to follow through on commitments, and celebration of \n successful outcomes. Achieving means developing and executing a plan of action with the \n input and help of others on the team.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.093939,"width":0.740667,"height":0.107602}},{"text":"Direct. This facet of leading involves the ability to provide direction for your part of the \n organization. That is, to cast a vision of where we need to be in three years, for example, and \n to develop a strategy for how to get there. It means involving your team in the creation of the \n vision and strategy, and then mobilizing them and others to move in the desired direction. It \n means being decisive and breaking deadlocks that threaten to undermine progress. This might \n also include influencing key stakeholders and helping overcome organizational obstacles.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.223359,"width":0.755849,"height":0.10776499999999997}},{"text":"En-spire. On the surface, this may appear to be a cheap way to correctly spell LEADER; in all \n honesty, that may have played a part in creating this new, hyphenated word! However, en- \n spire also combines the concepts of enthusiasm and inspiration, which are the key attributes of \n this component. Successful leaders have a way of generating hope, energy, and motivation in \n the hearts of their followers. Sometimes, they inspire them through their lofty ideas, the \n certainty of their convictions, or the courage they exhibit. Other times, they generate \n enthusiasm through the warmth and genuineness of their style, or their vibrant, contagious \n energy level. In one way or another, they en-spire people around them.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.352942,"width":0.759082,"height":0.144546}},{"text":"Renew. To renew is to look continuously for ways to improve, change, tweak, or innovate. \n Depending on their core personalities and abilities, leaders renew in a variety of ways. The \n similarity across this component is that they continue to look for paths toward improvement. \n They encourage this “looking with new eyes” in others by setting the expectation that the \n future of their team, department, or organization depends on generating new ideas and testing \n them. By far, the majority of innovations that organizations leverage to renew themselves are \n new applications or improvements of products or services they already provide to the \n marketplace.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.519457,"width":0.760128,"height":0.14457100000000012}},{"text":"These six components provide the map for where the next six Leadersynth articles will take us. \n With each new component in the coming months, we will dig more deeply into them and \n illustrate with stories from leaders with whom we have worked in our client organizations over \n the years.
