Leaders
focus on their strengths. Take at least two or three areas you do
well, and do them. Delegate the rest. You’ll not only find that things will run
more smoothly, but you’ll also get a lot more done. For me, if I pump out 1000
words a day, I’m doing handstands. I usually focus on the time element and
write about 3-4 hours. The rest of the day is networking, sharing what I’ve
learned, and being a team player with other authors. I learn more from watching
what successful writers are doing, and then I choose what I feel will work best
for me.
Leaders
are role models. Leaders are adept at that without even realizing it, so be aware
and sensitive, choosing your words and behavior carefully. Remembering the
Golden Rule—do unto others as you wish them to do unto you—is crucial, and will
attract like-minded individuals into your life. Think about who your role model
is and what it is about him or her that makes you want to walk in their shoes.
The answer may surprise you!
Leaders
possess integrity. Be a class act. Strive to become the kind of leader who acts with
class, who becomes known as a class act, and who attracts other people with
class to his or her sphere of influence. Integrity is all about the state of
being complete in everything you think, say or do. The bottom line is to simply
choose to live by a higher set of standards, and watch people respond
enthusiastically toward you. Always remember that you’re special, and you
count!
