There are leaders and there are real leaders. I am particularly impressed by leaders who do not flaunt their powers or brag about their position or their responsibility. These are the leaders who keep quiet yet exude the power, the aura and most especially the moral ascendancy to lead.

In the business world, there are leaders and there are real leaders. I am particularly more impressed by industry leaders who do not flaunt or brag about their position in the industry but rather keeps quiet and yet exude their command of the industry.

In both cases, these leaders communicate more without words. Their person is marked with poise and conviction. What this reminds us is that a leader need not always use words to convey meaning; non-verbal cues often say more than words can ever achieve to do. It is unfortunate however, that people and business fail to recognize this. Too often they feel that in order to establish their leadership, they must resort to calling attention to themselves. People do this by opening their mouth – more than what is necessary. Businesses resort to an avalanche of marketing collaterals like brochures, flyer printing, poster printing, etc. This strategy often results to display distraction which leads to confusion. Those who lead must be wary of this because trying too hard to be heard may not really be productive.

Here are a few suggestions for businesses to lead without trying too hard:

Relax your advertising efforts. Marketing consultants and practitioners will howl in protest over this suggestion but I suggest you take a step back and re-assess how your marketing efforts are achieving their expected results. Often, businesses fail to assess the impact of their marketing strategy because they adopt a shotgun approach. In other words, the more color flyer printing, the better. If this is true then most businesses should try to outdo each other by more flyer printing.

The idea here is to ruminate on the impact of your marketing strategies and slow down if you must. Always remember that a leader does not flaunt his powers or his position. If your business is indeed an industry leader, you do not have to invest so much on more color flyer printin but focus more on how to manage your business' reputation.

Choose your Battles. Those at the top say very little. This is also true for businesses. Do not involve yourself in marketing tussles with your competition. If you do, you become one of them. What you want to exude is that you are above the fray. You are an industry leader and that other businesses look up to you. By engaging your competition, you stoop to their level. You are not part of them, you are above them – always remember this. As the saying goes, when fur is flying, what gets clients attention is quiet confidence. It is a matter of choosing your battles and responding appropriately. Note that I used the word respond rather than act, because it is important that you respond to the issue and not react.

The point in all of these suggestions is that as a leader, you do not necessarily have to proclaim to the world that your business is an industry leader. People will know because of your reputation and your track record. Being an industry leader cannot be achieved without going through a process called, for lack of a better term, natural selection. Leaders emerge to fill a void. In the same manner that industry leaders emerge to fill a gap – a gap that could not be satisfied by competition.

Lastly, always remember that silent water runs deep.
