  13. 21 INDISPENSABLE QUALITIES OF A LEADER • 1. CHARACTER • The leader exhibits integrity, maturity and an abundance mentality. Followers do not trust leaders whose character they know to be flawed, and they will not continue following them. The key to success is character.

  14. CHARISMA/OTHERMINDEDNESS • The ability to draw people to you. • You need to like people, love life, see good in people and give people hope. • Share yourself: wisdom, resources, and even special occasions • Stay away from the following: • Pride • Insecurity • Moodiness • Perfectionism • Cynicism

  15. COMMITMENT • It is the enemy of resistance. It is the serious promise to press on, to get up, no matter how many times you are knocked down. • 4 kinds of people • 1. Cop-outs • 2. Holdouts • 3. Dropouts • 4.All outs

  16. COMMUNICATION • The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. • It’s not just what you say but how you say it. • Simplicity is the key to effective communication. Be clear.

  17. COMPETENCE • It’s the leader’s ability to say it, plan it and do it in such a way that others know that you know how—and know that they want to follow you. • CULTIVATE COMPETENCE • 1. Show up every day • 2. Keep improving. • 3.Follow through with excellence—quality. • 4. Accomplish more than expected—go the extra • mile. • 5. Inspire others.

  18. COURAGE • It is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities… because it is the quality which guarantees all others. • Courage is not an absence of fear. • To improve courage: speak in front of an audience, face the music, do something daring.

  19. RESPONSIBILITY • Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility. • The one quality that all successful people have is the ability to take on responsibility. • Responsible people • 1. Get the job done. • 2. They are willing to go the extra mile. • 3. They are driven by excellence. • 4. They produce regardless of the situation.

  20. DISCERNMENT • Can be described as the ability to find the root of the matter. Discernment helps the leader see a partial picture filling in the missing pieces and finds the real heart. It relies on intuition as well as rational thought. Never relies on gut feeling alone, but involves your head to find the best options. • Enhance your problem solving. • Evaluate your options for maximum impact. • Follow your instinct.

  21. FOCUS • The sharper it is, the sharper you are. • Focus time and energy 70% on strengths • Focus 25% on new things • Growth equals change • Don’t forget in leadership: if you are through growing, you’re through. • Focus 5% on areas of weakness- delegate your weaknesses. Stick to things you know.

  24. LISTENING • The ear of the leader must ring with the voices of the people. A good leader encourages followers to tell him/her what he/she needs to know, not what he/she want to hear. • The Law of Connection is leaders touching hearts before they ask for a hand. Before you can touch a heart, you must know what’s in it. You learn by listening. • The purpose of listening is to connect and learn. • Start listening not only for words, but also feelings, meanings and undercurrents.

  25. PASSION • No one can be successful unless you love • Your work. If you look at the lives of effective leaders you will find that they often don’t fit into a stereotypical mold. • More than 50% of all CEOs of Fortune 500 companies had C or C- averages in college. • Nearly 75% of all U.S. presidents were in the bottom half of their school classes. • 50% of all millionaire entrepreneurs never finished college. Passion makes it possible for people who might seem ordinary to achieve great things. • Passion increases your will power. • Passion is the first step to achievement. • Your desire determines your destiny. Weak desires bring weak results and small fires creates little heat. • Passion makes the impossible possible. A leader with great passion and few skills always outperforms a leader with great skills and no passion. • People nowadays don’t sing, don’t dance, and don’t even commit sin with much enthusiasm.

  26. POSITIVE ATTITUDE • If you believe you can, you can. • 1. Your attitude is a choice. Don’t allow your good attitude to deteriorate. • 2. Your attitude determines your actions. • Attitude is the criterion for success. • 3. Your people are a mirror your attitude. Who you are is who you attract. • 4. Maintaining a good attitude is easier than regaining one.

Face up to the reality of any situation. • 3. They see the big picture. • 4.They handle one thing at a time. Richard Sioma has this advise: “Never try to solve all the problems at once-make them line up for you one-by-one. • 5. They don’t give up when you are in the valley. TO Improve: • 1.
