Knowledge And Leadership-Dr.Luciano Santini

Knowledge

Knowledge is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action and directed to a definite end. 

 

Let us talk today regarding knowledge. What is knowledge? Let me give you the definition according to the dictionary.

knowledge

noun knowl·edge \ˈnä-lij\

: information, understanding, or skill that you get from experience or education: awareness of something : the state of being aware of something 6 of our favorite terms for money and luxury »

Full Definition of KNOWLEDGE

1

obsolete :  cognizance

2

a (1) :  the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association (2) :  acquaintance with or understanding of a science, art, or technique

b (1) :  the fact or condition of being aware of something (2) :  the range of one's information or understanding <answered to the best of my knowledge>

c :  the circumstance or condition of apprehending truth or fact through reasoning :  cognition

d :  the fact or condition of having information or of being learned <a person of unusual knowledge>

 

 You see it does not say anything about being able to use knowledge so again to me knowledge is and can be powerful only when it is implemented. That word seems to come so many times over and over implementation.

 

When you treat others respectfully and never ask another to do something you would be unwilling to do yourself, you are entitled to the respect of others — and they will freely give it. But you cannot expect others to continue marching until they have blisters on their feet while you ride in the jeep. Leading others means you must be willing to give far more of yourself than you would ever ask from them. 

 

Leadership-What is leadership? Let me define it for you: Leadership is a multifaceted thing. In a nutshell - the ability to inspire others in such a fashion that they are willing to follow you, for a leader is not one who decides to be a leader, a leader is one whom others choose to follow. Without followers there can be no leader. Can it be taught? Most assuredly. The greater question is can it be learned? Not by all, perhaps not even by most.  (Yahoo Answers)

 

Leadership to me is when a person in charge does things the right things with respect humility and honor and expect nothing in return--Dr. Luciano Santini 

 

Giving a seminar on leadership

 Leadership is something that is so lacking in all organizations both private and more so in non-profits because you have to deal with so much more regarding funding. In government you  not only have to deal with funding but with resistance and that is so hard to deal with and let us not forget the fact that people do refuse to change.
