The principles of leadership are not something you acquire after you become a success. Putting them into practice is what makes you a success. Whether you are the president of a large corporation, a volunteer in a school or church, a line manager of a manufacturing plant, or a college student about to enter the workplace, you can begin to apply the traits of leadership in your daily dealings. They are continually developing their own sense of character and competence. They know that they need to get their mind right because a leader's state of mind affects every person in the organization.
Successful leaders seek to change three bad habits a year - and get phenomenal results.
They understand they must be accessible as well as accountable. They reserve 15 minutes a day for themselves for uninterrupted quiet time. They realize that all people want to be heard and understood. They see themselves in a partnership with their employees or associates. They know they can learn from their associates.
