Here are your LIFE-CHANGING 11 Principles of Leadership.
Leaders constantly study success.
Print these and hang them up... And live by them...to increase your Success.
1. UNWAVERING COURAGE.
Based upon the knowledge of oneself, and of one’s occupation, no follower wishes to be dominated by a leader who lacks self-confidence and courage. No intelligent follower will be dominated by such a leader for very long.
2. SELF-CONTROL.
A person who cannot control himself, can never control others. Self-control sets a mighty example for one’s followers, which the more intelligent will emulate.
3. A KEEN SENSE OF JUSTICE.
Without a sense of fairness and justice, no leader can command and retain the respect of their followers.
4. DEFINITENESS OF THEIR DECISION.
The person who waivers in their decisions, shows that they are not sure of themselves. They cannot lead others successfully.
5. DEFINITENESS OF THEIR PLANS.
The successful leader must plan their work, and work their plan. A leader who moves by guesswork, without practical, definite plans, is comparable to a ship without a rudder. Sooner or later they will land on the rocks.
6. THE HABIT OF DOING MORE THAN THEY ARE PAID FOR.
One of the penalties of leadership is the necessity of willingness, upon the part of the leader, to do more than they require of their followers.
7. PLEASING PERSONALITY.
No slovenly, careless person can become a successful leader. Leadership calls for respect. Followers will not respect a leader who does not grade high on all of the factors of a Pleasing Personality.
8. THEY ARE SYMPATHETIC AND UNDERSTANDING.
The successful leader must be in sympathy with their followers. Moreover, they must understand them and their problems.
9. MASTERY OF DETAIL.
Successful leadership calls for mastery of details of the leader’s position.
10. WILLINGNESS TO ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY.
The successful leader must be willing to assume responsibility for the mistakes and the shortcomings of their followers. If they try to shift this responsibility, they will not remain the leader. If one of their followers
makes a mistake, and shows themselves incompetent, the leader must consider that it is the leader who failed.
11. COOPERATION.
The successful leader must understand, and apply the principle of cooperative effort and be able to induce their followers to do the same. Leadership calls for Power, and power calls for Cooperation.
These 11 Principles are from "Think and Grow Rich", by Napoleon Hill.
Have a great day!!
