The Depth of Leadership by Umbusi Ziqalo
The study of leadership and the lives of leaders, past and present, is my passion.
I have been studying and observing leaders for the last 16 years of my life, and when I boil down leadership to its core, removing all the frills and extras I cannot but find the following one threads:
  • Produce the results for you 
  • Based on your matured art (your decisions and level of awareness) 
  • Based on humility, authenticity, courage and self-sacrifice
  • Despite the praise and accolades you receive from society or group that surrounds you

Your Leadership Coach

Umbusi's Blog| The Power of Feedback

Blog 2/2019 PERSONAL MASTERY TUESDAY: The Power of Feedback Balanced feedback gives others information on what they are doing effectively (performance and behaviors) and on what they could do differently to better meet expectations, to be more effective, or to improve future performance results. There are several benefits to providing feedback in a balanced way. 1) A focus on one or two important issues 2) A balance of praise and constructive criticism 3) Addressing issues within the recipient’s control (something they can do something about) 4) Interactive (done in a way that encourages two-way communication focused on problem solving). #UmbusiGlobalLeadershipSpeakerCo is a division of Resilience Group cc Follow My BLOG: umbusi.blogspot.com

Umbusi's Blog 20 of 2019| The Myth of Position in Leadership

Image
Leadership is Not the Position of Leadership It seems so simple, yet to many a leader it is not.  The Leadership Space or Position of Authority, is not Leadership. Put in other way, Leadership is not the Position, but the Person's attitude towards the position that they occupy. Leadership is the mindset, yes, the mindset and not the authority-set.  Leadership is not the tools of authority nor the vicinity of power. Making conversation with the powers that be, and actually executing their wishes and whims, is not leadership. It is exactly that, executing the mandate of the powers that be. Leadership is a nuance, it is not obvious to the casual observer.  It is concerned with the future, by inspiring the present, using lessons from the past. I challenge you to consult a book called The Art and Science of Leadership by Umbusi Ziqalo, and begin a journey of unlearning, so that you can learn true leadership.

Umbusi Blog 56 | You are Where You Think You Must Be

You are what you settle for. It is not an accident where you find yourself in life. You are where you settled to be, consciously or otherwise. Settlement is a destination chosen and settled for in the mind. Settlement in simple terms means arrival, and deciding to stay. It means making a decision. It is not true therefore, that circumstances have brought you to where you are, it is you who decided to stay where you are. Your level of growth and progress, both personally and professionally, is a construct of your settlement, a function entirely of your choice. It will take honest personal reflection on your part, to move from where you are. Stop the blame-game, stop the blame-shifting, stop the blame-economy, stop the blame-currency, and stop associating yourself with the blame eco-systems. These few blame-proxies are weighing you down and not designed for your support and growth. Get up, with a radical mindset, and move. Umbusi Ziqalo is a Speaker and Thought Leader in Transforma...
