Title: How to be a good leader
Description: Many motivational experts like to say that leaders are made, not born. I would argue the exact opposite. I believe we are all natural born leaders, but have been deprogrammed along the way. As children, we were natural leaders - curious and humble, always hungry and thirsty for knowledge, with an incredibly vivid imagination; we knew exactly what we wanted, were persistent and determined in getting what we wanted, and had the ability to motivate, inspire, and influence everyone around us to help us in accomplishing our mission. So why is this so difficult to do as adults? What happened? As children, over time, we got used to hearing, No, Dont, and Cant. No! Dont do this. Dont do that. You cant do this. You cant do that. No! Many of our parents told us to keep quiet and not disturb the adults by asking silly questions. This pattern continued into high school with our teachers telling us what we could do and couldnt do and what was possible. Then many of us got hit with the big one institutionalized formal education known as college or university. Unfortunately, the traditional educational system doesnt teach students how to become leaders; it teaches students how to become polite order takers for the corporate world. Instead of learning to become creative, independent, self-reliant, and think for themselves, most people learn how to obey and intelligently follow rules to keep the corporate machine humming. Developing the Leader in you to live your highest life, then, requires a process of unlearning by self-remembering and self-honoring. Being an effective leader again will require you to be brave and unlock the door to your inner attic, where your childhood dreams lie, going inside to the heart. Based on my over ten years research in the area of human development and leadership, here are ten easy steps you can take to awaken the Leader in you and rekindle your passion for greatness:

LEADER IN YOU:

Many motivational experts like to say that leaders are made, not born
...
I believe we are all natural born leaders, but have been deprogrammed
along the way
...

So why is this so difficult to do as adults? What happened? As children, over time, we got
used to hearing, No, Dont, and Cant
...
Dont do that
...
You
cant do that
...
This pattern continued into high school with our teachers telling us
what we could do and couldnt do and what was possible
...
Unfortunately, the
traditional educational system doesnt teach students how to become leaders; it teaches
students how to become polite order takers for the corporate world
...
Developing
the Leader in you to live your highest life, then, requires a process of unlearning by
self-remembering and self-honoring
...
Based on my over ten years research in the area of human development and
leadership, here are ten easy steps you can take to awaken the Leader in you and rekindle
your passion for greatness:
1
...

Leadership starts with humility
...
Nobody wants to follow someone
who is arrogant
...
For what is excellence but knowledge plus knowledge plus knowledge - always
wanting to better yourself, always improving, always growing
...
And because
you want to learn and grow, you will be a far more effective listener, which is the #1
leadership communication tool
...

2
...

SWOT is an acronym for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats
...
This is a useful key to gain access to selfknowledge, self-remembering, and
self-honoring
...
Then write
down all your Weaknesses and what needs to be improved
...
These are the demons and dragons
guarding the door to your inner attic
...
Then proceed by listing all the Opportunities you see available to you for
using your strengths
...

3
...
Being an alive
and vital person vitalizes others
...
This will make you a charismatic leader
...
Believe me, youll
find the time
...
Dream Big:
If you want to be larger than life, you need a dream thats larger than life
...
It takes the same amount of time to dream small than it does to
dream big
...
The one that
excites you the most
...
After youve written down your dream, list every single reason why you CAN achieve
your dream instead of worrying about why you cant
...
Vision:
Without a vision, we perish
...
Visualize what it would be like accomplishing your dream
...

6
...
Now that you have a
dream, make sure you take consistent action every day
...

7
...
Successful leaders keep their word and
their promises
...
Your word is gold
...

8
...
Preferably someone who has already achieved a high degree of
success in your field
...
Youve got nothing to lose
...
ca is an
excellent mentoring website and a great resource for finding local mentoring programs
...
In addition to mentors, take time to study autobiographies of great leaders that you
admire
...

9
...
Everyone has
vastly different leadership styles
...
A quiet and simple Gandhi or a soft-spoken peanut farmer
named Jimmy Carter, who became president of the United States and won a Nobel Peace
Prize, have been just as effective world leaders as a loud and flamboyant Churchill, or the
tough leadership style employed by The Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher
...
But if I copy Hemingway, Id be a second or third rate Hemingway, at best,
instead of a first rate Sharif
...

10
...
Leaders are givers
...
The more you give, the more you
get
...
Be a mentor to others
...
As a
leader, the only way to get what you want, is by helping enough people get what they want
first
...
