Have you ever wondered how leadership first started on Earth?

• I. The Originality of leadership 🐉

The writings on leadership date back over 5000 years to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. The term “leader” entered the English language as early as the 1300s and was conceptualized even before biblical times. However, the term “leadership” has been in existence only since the late 1700s (based on Stogdill, Ralph M.’s work).


• II. The Fundamentals of leadership

Ever since then, it’s been a few hundred years. However, the fundamentals of leadership haven’t changed, and the core remains the same, such as:

▶️ Walk the Talk

▶️ Inspire a Shared Vision

▶️ Challenge the Process

▶️ Enable Others to Act

▶️ Encourage the Heart



• III. The Evolution of leadership

That being said, some leadership characteristics have been constantly evolving. Hence, the following add-ons are critical to leadership excellence in the new era. For example:

▶️ Servant Mindset

▶️ Empathy and Emotional Intelligence

▶️ Relentless Determination

▶️ Laser Focus

▶️ Unwavering Executive Presence

▶️ Boundless Growth Mindset

▶️ Unshakable Values

▶️ Deep Trust


✨ Leadership isn’t stagnant.

Leadership traits and characteristics have evolved; leaders need to develop and grow alongside our changing society and workplace.✨
