| | Defining The Traits Of A Successful LeaderWritten by Archie R. Lawhorne
Continued from page 1 don't like to tackle tough issues. (Then again, not everyone wants to be a leader, right.) It requires being decisive and a willingness to take chances. And yes, to FAIL - but to accept it, learn from it and move on. Become A Believer Children need to "see it" in order to believe it. Leaders believe it BEFORE they see it. Here's something to try: Try doing what you say you will do. (Remember, odds are against you). When faced with problems and obstacles, choose to learn from experience and turn them into an opportunities. Don't whine and complain about yesterday's defeats. (It's counter-productive and you look like a fool next to Thomas Edison). Key: Until you're able to wipe out past mistakes from movie projector that keeps playing in your head, you'll never be able to move forward. Leaders believe in themselves and believe in abundance. Take Some Risks Leaders are ones willing to make huge sacrifices in time, money and family in order to achieve their goals. Risk is price you pay for success. You must carry burden and have backbone to make decisions that are not popular. Be internally directed, not "socially fit." You'll never achieve wealth and success as long as you care what other people thing of you. Yes, leadership has a price, (risk) but it also offers tremendous rewards. Don't Follow The Crowd Here's a crucial defining trait of a leader: they don't follow crowd. Nothing great was ever accomplished by a crowd. A crowd merely blows with wind, like scattered leaves. Crowds have no purpose and end up nowhere. It takes courage to go against crowd and be a true individual, but it's most exciting, exhilarating thing we can do. It's also most difficult and frightening. That's why success is so elusive and so rare. Take Ted Turner of CNN fame, for instance. He said, "Lead, follow, or get out of way!" Was Turner moving with herd? No, he was captain, not one of deck hands. Most people live in a state of self-consciousness. They go to work, support their families are active in their communities and are good citizens. Their egos are socially supported which means they go with flow. Thus, because they are moving with herd and moving with group's collective consciousness, they struggle. It's never their goals, their vision or their choices. Most people rarely, if ever, move into direction of freedom and true self expression. The leaders are your freedom fighters. These are people like Winston Churchill, Henry Ford, Margaret Thatcher, Thomas Jefferson, Bill Gates. Leaders usually affect thousands of people. Anytime you share your energy with enough other people, BAM, success follows. The problem though is that notion of prosperity scares many people because they were taught that money is evil, or are afraid of responsibility that comes with success. While world continues to change, traits of good leaders remain constant. The principles are timeless. Once you learn how to liberate leader within you, extraordinary things happen.
