Here's a really simple way to think about the ins and outs, the doing and practice or attitudes and behaviors of being a leader.
Many times I get asked certain questions that tell me that there seems to be some confusion concerning these critical areas of the leadership mission:
1) When and who can, should or will leaders need to lead?
2) What do leaders actually do?
3) How and in what ways do leaders appear to lead?
This article will show you how to analyze, define and perform the most important task of a leader's job - that is, to enrich human capital.
You will appreciate this one essential truth: leaders need to invest in and leverage the various factors, variables and elements of the "human capital equation".

Human Capital Asset Enrichment Strategy - Number 1: Learn the Nature of Your Capital Assets!

You will want to use your understanding of the four generic asset categories that form "human capital".
In a word, your success as a leader depends on your answer to this simple question: what are human capital assets?
Our capital assets are defined as the ways we bring value to our world, to our environment and to our evolution.
Because people purposely add value to the circumstances of their lives, I call each of those value-appreciating areas, a "capital asset".
These assets or value-enhancing capabilities are:
Production - the ability to create, evaluate, perform, deliver, process, supply, execute, apply, produce and many other "functional" activities.
Knowledge - may be thought of as having an ability to think, analyze, conceive, extrapolate, interpret or translate and other mental, reasoning, cogitating or intellectual actions.
Social - the forming of relationships, communities, teams, partnerships or alliances, the developing and sustaining of networks, interactions, exchanges or transactions with and between other people.
Utilization - concepts involving capabilities towards, growing, improving, enhancing, evolving, developing, learning, educating and progressing beyond one's innate or natural ability - an ability to act towards and achieve the fulfillment of one's potential

If you can maintain the idea of focusing attention on, sharpening the impact and magnifying the effects of each of those 4 capital asset areas.
You can be certain that when you do all of these actions, you will find a venerable treasure trove of positive outcomes.
So what should you concentrate your efforts on developing? Here are some possible beneficial pay-offs:
Value - you will increase the impact of this desirable benefit simply by constantly questioning the meaning of your group's work engagements - are we doing this task to add value or because we have to or are supposed to do it?
Quality - improving the quality of the processes that your group uses to accomplish its work must be a continual process unto itself - how much and in what ways do we leverage the 4 capital asset areas to enhance our efficiency, our resourcefulness and effectiveness?
Motives - what inspires you is many times just as important as what your motivation inspires you to achieve - does your group invest any of their time and energies into exploring the values, beliefs, meanings, purposes and objectives propelling their daily efforts?
Capacity - building upon the competencies, performances, know-how and knowledge, facts and figures and growth opportunities are critical in these days of disruptive, brutally dynamic, break-neck pace of change - how do you develop the capacity or potential for each of the 4 capital asset areas?
