We have all witnessed the tragedy and the triumph of the Chilean miner crisis and heroic rescue in South America, but what can we truly gain from this experience? I think one of the greatest lessons to be gained from this experience is compassionate, clear and strong leadership.
“The real hero, as I’ve said before, was one gentleman in that mine that took control and for 14 days had 33 guys live on one can of tuna fish a day. That takes tremendous leadership and that guy is the hero. He kept those guys alive for 69 days,” said Jeff Hart, one of four Colorado drillers who returned home October 16th from the Chilean mine rescue.
The top leaders of today all know that you cannot gain both respect and maximum results from today’s workers unless you treat everyone in the organization with the caring and respect they deserve while giving them strong visionary leadership at the same time. How many of today’s organizations that you know of rule their workers with an uncaring iron hand and the business suffers for it accordingly? Too many I’m afraid, and it’s time to change that old story and create dynamic, caring, strong and supportive new leadership in companies and government that truly serve the needs of both the workers, customers and people alike! I feel that the greatest leaders of all time have shown true caring, compassion, strength and vision with a clear plan of action that works best for everyone and yields amazing business results on every level.
Who do you feel is a great example of quality leadership today? What qualities do you feel a great leader should emulate? Who have been some of the great leaders you have worked with, or for, and what did you admire most about them? What changes would you like to see in your company’s leadership and in government today?
