Can Leadership be Measured

 

I do believe leadership can be measured.   There are metrics you can apply to measure a leader’s short term success, but in the long term, leadership is measured over time by tangible and intangible success factors.  It’s not about creating a vision and strategy but how well you execute and be consistent with your journey.  

Based on my experience, a true measure of success for a leader is continuous improvement and the IMPACT that it has to a human resource.  It is the overall growth the leader can inspire to help their employees and followers grow professionally and socially.   Leaders need the ability to innovate and create positive change and must have a passion and purpose for their position.  

Everybody but the leader who will define his/her success and it is way beyond the final numbers which we all tend to measure.  Finally I would like to add, a successful leader is someone who can inspire others to become effective leaders!
