Leadership provides direction, sets a positive example, bring enthusiasm, create interest to learn new things to help both individual and team efforts. Great leaders provide leadership to help people attain goals when they don’t seem to think they are reachable.
Integrity is defined as being tough enough to stand up and do what you know is right; making right choices in difficult situations. "Honesty is the best policy". A leader should be highly recommended by others when being talked about and should be looked at as fair-minded and trustworthy. They should know how to carry themselves in any situation.

Some individuals are more skilled at leadership than others. However, being committed, dedicated, having the right attitude, and self-discipline, a leader can become very effective.
Transparency allows others the opportunity to offer their thoughts and ideas to work together to achieve a common goal.
A good leader uses positive reinforcement to get their point across. It is much more effective than negative reinforcement.
Attitude reflects leadership.

Reviews for "Leading Effectively Proven Leadership"
Mildred Stallworth’s book Leading Effectively will not disappoint. She writes that great leaders have vision and get others to buy into it. Outstanding leaders possess strategic thinking and have the ability to influence, encourage, inspire, motivate, persuade, and empower others to embrace the vision and contribute to it. Proven leaders understand the people they are leading in order to take people where they want to go, creating an atmosphere where people feel appreciated and rewarded.
To leave a legacy that others may embrace and follow, a great leader develops the gifts of those who are on the team developing the vision set forth. The author writes about leaders, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader”.
The author makes so many salient points, such as great leaders make sure any message being given is received with fullest clarity. To hear and to listen are sterling traits a leader possesses. They admit mistakes. They live their lives with integrity. They know how to critique without shaming.
The author is very thorough about so many aspects of leadership and she makes the book so readable, especially by interspersing the text with meaningful quotes. I especially enjoyed the words by Ronald Reagan, "The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things." And I also had an “Aha” moment reading a quote by McArthur, "A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent."
I enjoyed reading this book and found it exceedingly useful in giving me tools and understanding to further develop my leadership style. This is the promise of the book, that it is a guidebook to shaping and enhancing anyone’s leadership skills to become not only a very competent leader, but an excellent, even exceptional, one.
I haven't read your book and probably won't, because I don't find self-help books to be very useful in my life. From the brief reading here, I believe you have defined leadership very well with qualities that I admire. I believe that leadership is a quality that is probably more genetic and less behavioral than people would like to believe. And sometimes, leadership is a matter of opportunity. For example, when an alpha leader dies and makes a leadership position available to someone who was not thought to be a leader before.
I have been a good follower and right-hand man for a number of leaders. I moved forward with the ones who are fair-minded and trustworthy. I stalled with those who were climbing the hierarchy through the use of Machiavellian techniques. I don't think that kind of person should ever be given a leadership role.
I don't think our president meets the requirements that you have written.
