People respond to good leadership! Period! It is in all aspects

of our lives, not just business. A mother is a leader in her

home; a son may be leader of a team sport or a daughter the

leader of the debate team. A group relies on the person in

charge to actually lead them to success. A true leader is

highly ethical, honest and respected.

In our society we have leaders and followers. Are we born to

one or the other? No! Can you hone your leadership skills?

Absolutely!

The leaders that I admire seem to have all of these in place:

a) They think BIG! They don’t put a ceiling in place. Instead,

no limit is set as to how big or how much better something can

be.

b) The goals are firmly set in place and the eye does not come

off of it.

c) They make known to all involved the final product that they

are all going for, example, if you sell widgets, it takes x

number of widgets to be affluent, or you want to win that

football game and ultimately the title. Know what you’re going

for.

d) They can get compliance to orders.

e) When goals are met they set new goals or raise the bar.

People will follow your lead willingly if you are honest,

ethical, if you are consistent and treat them with respect.

Rewarding someone when a job is well done is always

appreciated. A good leader will also off load someone who

consistently hinders the group who is just not a team player.

You can improve your own self- respect and become an

inspiration to others. How great is that!
