Successful business leaders, those who are able to hit the numbers, must have not just a desire to win, but a need to win. They need to be competitive. Relationship building is critical, but if you can't close, you can't sell. Most of the successful leaders I have known have been competitive as hell. Leaders have really consistent and solid business ethics, and hold themselves and their entire team to them.
Leaders lead with soul.
When leaders are anchored in their essential authentic core spirit, their soul, and operate from there, their presence and their actions have WOW impact on the people they lead. Everyone else connects there and then the energy starts moving and the visions start flowing. Open their hearts and say what is on their minds. Leaders need to bond with their followers. They need to establish strong working relationships across all levels of their enterprise.
