  5. Phases of Leadership Growth • I don’t know what I don’t know. • I know what I don’t know. • I grow and I know, and it starts to show. • I simply go because of what I know.

  6. Successful leaders are learners, and the learning process is ongoing. A result of self-discipline and perseverance.

  7. How Can I Become Disciplined? The first person you lead is you.

  13. Developing a Priority Process • What is required of me? • What gives me the greatest return? • What is most rewarding?

  14. Keeping Priorities in Place • Evaluate – Review requirements, return, reward. • Eliminate – What am I doing that can be done by someone else? • Estimate – What are the top projects you are doing this month and how long will they take?

  15. Priority Principles • Priorities never “stay put.” • You cannot overestimate the unimportance of practically everything. • The good is the enemy of the best. • Too many priorities paralyze us.

  16. Priority Principles • When little priorities demand too much of us, big problems arise. • Time deadlines & emergencies force us to prioritize. • Too often we learn too late what is really important.

  17. Efficiency is the foundation for survival. Effectiveness is the foundation for success.

  30. Climbing the Steps of Leadership • If you are leading a group of people, you will not be on the same level with everyone. • For your leadership to remain effective, it is essential that you take the other influencers within the group with you to the higher levels. • You must know what level you are on at this moment.
