All leaders have this knowing inside of them,
they know where they are heading and what
they are creating long before it arrives.
This vision goes far beyond romancing the thought
of becoming a great leader and what could happen.
Great leaders have trust in themselves, and trust
that they will make it happen!
Leaders not only inspire action in others, they take
action themselves, action brings about your dreams,
without action your dream stays just a dream!
Take a moment, concentrate on your vision, this is
your purpose, for becoming a great leader.
What does it look like…how does it feel?
Can you see and feel it..is it crystal clear in your mind?
Do you know what motivates you to do what you do?
Get your vision very clear in your mind, you should be
able to describe it to someone else.
It is not important that your vision be clear right now,
but begin today to create clarity in your purpose.
Your vision could be big or small, but for others to
connect to your dreams of the future, at some point
they must be crystal clear.
Leadership skills are very important to develop, as a
leader you will become a mentor, instilling confidence
in others. Believing in them till they can believe in
themselves. Teaching others to take actions that
will benefit them.
Your actions will set the example for your team to
follow. Never ask your team to do something you
are not willing to do.
Think about what you are looking for in a leader
yourself, and work on those qualities.
Some qualities of a great leader:
Power ~ When you are in your power, you will be
able to lead others to take action, people will
want to be around you because of your strength
and courage…this is what they are looking for.
Belief ~ Your beliefs about yourself, your business,
and the marketplace impact the results you will have.
Permission ~ The only permission you need to be a
great leader is your own. Be yourself don’t pretend
to be someone you are not…do not hide behind
your ego, be your authentic self.
Self-Esteem ~ How do you feel about yourself?
Constantly grow and change…learn to accept
yourself! Self acceptance begins with creating
realistic goals you can achieve as you develop
and grow in the process. To accept yourself,
release your habits, your judgments, and your
negative self-talk ,this is a process and takes time!
Posture ~ To attract great people to lead think
“I am the leader they are looking for”,
Have energy and be in control of your emotions.
Language ~ Great leaders study people and
know how to talk to them. They listen with the
heart and your team will feel this. Listen to
understand, not to be understood. The words
you use will lift your team or tear them down.
Forgiveness ~ As a leader you are putting yourself
upfront…this is a great place to be, but you are
also putting yourself in a place to get a lot of feedback,
good and bad. Forgiveness allows you to stay
in control of your emotions, past and present.
Creativity ~ As an entrepreneur it is important to
learn and teach others to step out of the box and
away from the comfort zone…the greater the risk
the greater the reward. Be creative in your business.
When your team sees you are willing to take a leap
of faith and pursue your ideas, it will inspire them to
pursue their ideas as well.
Intuition ~ Follow your GUT feeling. When a situation
comes your way, think to yourself, how do I feel
about this…what do I feel the out come will be?
This is a simple way to connect to your intuition.
Integrity ~ As a leader expect your integrity to
be tested. Your actions always speak louder than
your words. Respond to a challenge objectively,
not emotionally.
Production ~ As a leader you will be compensated
for your results, not your time. Great leaders
see the path, take it, and show their team to
take the path of results.
