Leadership Comes from the Heart

What is Leadership? Leadership is influencing others to make positive changes.

Having a position of authority does not make a person a leader. Leadership isn’t about gaining titles; it’s about attracting followers. Leadership must be earned.

Here are a few leadership tips on how to earn followers:
Integrity

The more credible you are, then the more confidence people place in you. Consistency in your actions, values, principles, expectations, and outcomes is how you verify your integrity.
Entrust Problem Solving

Wise leaders never solve problems for a person, but solve it with them. Leaders / Influencers equip their people with the necessary tools to grow as leaders themselves.
A Great Attitude

Great leaders understand that the right attitude sets the right tone and enables the right responses from others. Ask yourself how your attitude can impact those around you?
Develop People

Leaders must master the art of developing those around them. Make your most valuable assets (people) feel worthwhile, give them encouragement, know their strengths and assist them to develop their weaknesses.

Action Exercise

Think of people you admire. Make a list of reasons why you admire them. Then ask yourself......do I do these things?
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. - John Quincy Adams
