On this episode of Best Seller TV, Steve Lishansky, author of Leadership Starts Here, sits down with host Taryn Winter Brill to discuss the topic of leadership. As someone who has spent almost three decades coaching others on what it takes to be a great leader, Lishansky says he’s often met with silence when he asks the following question: “where does leadership start?” He explains that “leadership starts with the decisions we make.” Another question he often asks that is met with silence is, “What is your decision-making process?”
Lishansky states that it’s crucial that people understand the decision-making process from an early stage and that every leader needs to have a full grasp, control, and understanding of that process to use it effectively. He defines leadership as “creating a powerful future that’s compelling in the present and utilizes our greatest talents, capabilities, and resources to produce meaningful and valuable results.” Lishansky also cautions that if people are unable to define what leadership means to them, then it becomes difficult to develop.
The book’s title is meant to be a starting point for the type of leadership you’re looking to achieve. Lishansky says that “where you start is a predisposition of where you end up.” While he also describes leadership as a “fundamental human capacity,” great leadership is what maintains a company’s velocity, acceleration, and elevation. Great leadership is what sustains success.
