Before you step forward to lead a company, department, or group, there is a test.
And you must pass this test before you can legitimately claim to be a leader.
The test is self leadership.
Here's what to expect:
1) Do you have a vision for your future? Have you set goals? Do you have a plan for achieving those goals?
Leaders find destinations.
2) Do you complete tasks? Are you able to follow your own instructions? Do you apply discipline to meet agreements? Are your actions consistent with your values?
Leaders set examples.
3) Do you communicate? Can you explain what you want clearly,
concisely, and briefly? Can you resolve conflicts and disagreements without starting new ones?
Leaders communicate.
4) Do people trust you? Are you consistently honest? Are you predictably approachable? Do you honor agreements, complete assignments, and arrive on time?
Leaders earn trust.
5) Do you manage resources? Do you spend wisely and save routinely? Do you avoid debt? Are you generous when appropriate? Do you have more wealth now than when you started?
Leaders build wealth.
Key Point: Leaders are the type of people that others want to become.
Much success,
