There are a myriad of characteristics attributed to great leaders in the literature on leadership. I’ve chosen five that are critical for everyone seeking to lead. Not fully appreciating or understanding the ramifications of not following these ideas can lead to misery for a leader. How do you rate and what is your current misery index? Everyone is a leader. If one examines their life’s routines, it becomes easy to segment when leadership was part of the activity. Raising children? You’re a leader. Do you sometimes offer a helping hand to others in your workplace?

I recently received a call from the President of a firm with whom I worked as a consultant for a team building project. After many years in the upper levels of management and at an age where employment is most difficult, his position was eliminated. He was perplexed as to what he might now do. His desire is to continue being productive in the work place but opportunities appeared to be limited.

There have been millions of words written about leadership. Here are 788 more to add to your collection. And, in this case, these are critical to your success in leading others.

St. Thomas Aquinas is considered by many to be the Catholic Church’s greatest theologian and philosopher. Among the many great works he created, Aquinas wrote about the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. As I was reminded of these gifts during a recent Sunday church service, I thought it would be relevant to take them out of the spiritual realm and bring them to the workplace. I’ve renamed the list the Seven Gifts of Great Leaders. 1.

As we move into the New Year, what is it about your life, career and/or personal accomplishments that you want to change in 2010? Don’t take this question lightly. It is filled with deep thinking requirements. Change, just for change sake, is not what this question is about. Rather, it’s designed to make you become very introspective and think about what worked for you in 2009 and what didn’t work. Below is a list of other questions to help you “dig deeper” as you ponder where you’d like to be at the end of 2010. 1. Is your life as happy as it can or should be?

I recently watched a football game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots. The final score—Colts 35, Patriots 34. This game, like all sporting events, contained many elements of leadership. Let’s review some I observed. Leaders organize before undertaking a task. Each team spent hundreds of hours preparing for the contest, seeking to leave nothing to chance. It’s called making a plan. The more detailed your organization of a task, the greater the potential for success. Plan your day, week, month, year—your life.

“We need to be confronted by our actions, messages, and shortcomings if we expect to learn and grow. No more hiding behind excuses. No blaming others. No hiding behind phrases like—"This is just the way I am.” E. James Wilder As part of our career growth path, we must engage in constant evaluation of our actions to determine if they are the right activities to get the job done. We must be aware of the messages we deliver to our peers and to those we lead in our work environment. What we say becomes who we are.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Billy Arcement

I believe everyone has the ability to reach their personal potential. The difficulty we run into is finding the courage and strength to do so. Many times, we just don't know how or we simply become complacent with our position. If we can discover how to ignite that spark of commitment to improve, great things can come into our life. It takes a bit of dissatisfaction to improve.

My work with clients in a consulting role is to have them gather a realistic picture of where they are, define where they want to go and then design a process to fill the gap and re-position for greatness. With individuals, my efforts are designed to have them become dreamers of what they can become. I strive to show them the path to reach their individual potential by applying action to their ideas. Nothing of any great consequence is every achieved unless the process starts with action. Wishing simply won't make it so.

I believe the rubber meets the road with leadership. When we understand the essence of great leadership skills, we can get that promotion we want, we can rid ourselves of debt, pressures, and problems that plague our daily lives by learning how to take charge and lead ourselves to higher ground.

Life can be a battle or it can be a planned journey. Those who succeed understand the difference.
