Overview (cont.)
Inspirational leadership is explored throughout the Profile framework, from the communication of core values, through to the creation of a culture of feedback and learning. It looks for the characteristics of an entrepreneur – seizing opportunity and looking to the future. But modern leadership is not about being a lone autocrat, barking commands at the troops. Particularly in larger organisations, inspirational leaders need to encourage others to lead, develop a culture of sharing and teamwork, recognise the contribution people make, and use the tools of recruitment, development and reward creatively to motivate people and make the most of talent wherever it lies.
