Effective leaders create opportunities to showcase their natural abilities. They uncover their potential talents by continually stretching themselves and pushing themselves to their limits. At the same time, however, the successful leader acknowledges his or her limitations. To achieve true self-mastery you must accept yourself, including your faults, totally and unconditionally. Maintaining a positive attitude about yourself makes it easier for you to like and accept others, an important factor in effective leadership.
True leaders strive to bring out the best in everyone they meet.
Stewardship involves handling your resources effectively. As a leader, you undoubtedly recognize that people are your most important resource. Leaders employ stewardship to set people up for success, not failure. They recognize the talents of others and give them the knowledge and the tools they need to succeed. Leaders show their appreciation for the contributions of others and never take them for granted.
