Most of the time when we think of verbal leadership, we think of Hollywood speeches with the hero inspiring countless individuals to follow him into battle like the movies Braveheart, Gladiator, or 300.
We also might think of Tim Tebow giving the “Promise” speech and then backing it up on the way to a national championship.
We may not be Michael Jordan, Tim Tebow, Kobe Bryant, or William Wallace in Braveheart, but we all can be verbal leaders.
In fact, as long as we have a tongue, we should be verbal leaders.
Let me say that again for the people in the back…
Not only can we all be verbal leaders but we all should be verbal leaders.
As a leader, much is expected of you. You are repeatedly pulled and stretched in many different directions. It is sometimes difficult to pin down exactly what a leader looks like. There is not a one-size-fits-all-leader-mold.
However, there are certain qualities that most leaders should possess. John Maxwell sums these up as well as anyone. In his book The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, he talks about those shared qualities that leaders should gravitate toward.

Bet on yourself. That has been Fred’s mantra – his philosophy – for a long time.
In fact, he even has his own Bet on Yourself apparel line.
Growing people is the key to growing your success.
