All of us have managers, but have you had an inspirational leader before? I have and their are certain qualities that make them an inspirational leader. As a leader, are wanting to be just a manager or a leader that inspires your team to achieve extraordinary success? I found these ten roles of an inspirational leader; many of these roles I have discussed on previous postings. Do you inspire? Does your manager inspire?

Do you want to encourage extraordinary performance from your people? Do you want them to do great things?

If yes, then you must create an inspiring corporate culture that inspires, empowers and energizes them.

People do what they have to do for a manager, they do their best for an inspirational leader.

To inspire, you must both create resonance and move people with a compelling vision. You must embody what you ask of others, and be able to articulate a shared vision in a way that inspires others to act. You must offer a sense of common purpose beyond the day-to-day tasks, making work exciting, advises Steve Farber.
