If you can become the leader you ought to be on the inside, you will be able to become the person you want on the outside. People will want to follow you. And when that happens, you ll be able to tackle anything in this world. John C. Maxwell
Being confident and believing in your own self-worth is necessary to achieving your potential. Sheryl Sandberg
1. Character With confidence, you have won before you have started. Marcus Garvey Leadership is the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence. Bernard Montgomery, British Field
2. Charisma How can you have charisma? Be more concerned about making others feel good about themselves than you are making them feel about you. Dan Reiland, Vice President of Leadership Development, INJOY When it comes to charisma the bottom line is othermindedness. Leaders who think about others and their concerns before thinking of themselves exhibit charisma. John C. Maxwell
3. Commitment To the boxer, it s getting off the mat one more time than you ve been knocked down. To the marathoner, it s running another ten miles when your strength is gone. To the nurse, it s giving their all when a patient comes in at the end of a 14-hour shift. To the soldier, it s going over the hill, not knowing what s waiting on the other side. To the leader, it s all that and more because everyone you lead is depending on you.
4. Communication Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can t get a message across clearly to motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn t even matter. Gilbert Amelio
5. Competence Competence goes beyond words. 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. John C. Maxwell
6. Courage Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage. Maya Angelou
7. Discernment Smart leaders believe only half of what they hear. Discerning leaders know which half to believe. John C. Maxwell
8. Focus A leader who knows what her/his priorities are but lacks concentration knows what to do but never gets it done. If s/he has concentration but no priorities, s/he has excellence without progress. But when s/he harnesses both, s/he has potential to achieve great things. John C. Maxwell
9. Generosity No person was ever honoured for what he received. Honour has been the reward for what they gave. Calvin Coolidge
10. Initiative I would not sit waiting for some vague tomorrow, nor for something to happen. One could wait a lifetime, and find nothing at the end of the waiting. I would begin here, I would make something happen. Louis L Amour
11. Listening If you don't understand, ask questions. If you're uncomfortable about asking questions, say you are uncomfortable about asking questions and then ask anyway. It's easy to tell when a question is coming from a good place. Then listen some more. Sometimes people just want to feel heard. Here's to possibilities of friendship and connection and understanding. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah A good leader encourages followers to tell them what they need to know, not what they want to hear. John C. Maxwell
12. Passion Concentrate on what you do well, and do it better than anyone else. John Schnatter
13. Positive Attitude Every time you state what you want or believe, you're the first to hear it. It's a message to both you and others about what you think is possible. Don't put a ceiling on yourself. Oprah Winfrey A positive attitude brings strength, energy, motivation, and initiative. Unknown
14. Problem Solving You can measure a leader by the problems they tackle. They always look for a problem their own size. John C. Maxwell
15. Relationships I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Maya Angelou The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people. Theodore Roosevelt
16. Responsibility When an archer misses the mark, they turn and look for fault within themself. Failure to hit the bull s eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself. Theodore Roosevelt
17. Security No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it. Andrew Carnegie
18. Self Discipline The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term is the indispensible pre-requisite for success. Maxwell Maltz
19. Servanthood The true servant serves. Serves people. Serves their best interests, and in so doing will not always impress. But because true leaders are motivated by loving concern rather than a desire for personal glory, they are willing to pay the price. Eugene Habecker
20. Teachability It s what you learn after you know it all that counts. John Wooden
21. Vision Action without vision is only passing time. Vision without action is merely day dreaming. But vision with action can change the world. Nelson Mandela Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal. Mother Teresa
