Whether you are starting up your own business, or you are looking at adding distributors to your existing company, here are some thoughts to think about in regards to leadership. Leadership is the single most important character trait to possess to get people to believe in you and follow your advice.
1. People follow the leader first and the leader's vision second.
2. Trust is the force that connects people to the leader and his or her vision.
3. Leadership is not just about what you do but what you can inspire, encourage and empower others to do.
4. A leader brings out the best within others by sharing the best within themselves.
5. Just because you drive the bus, does not mean that you have the right to run people over.
6. Lead with optimism, enthusiasm and positive energy, guard against pessimism and weed out negative thinking.
7. Great leaders know they don't have all the answers. Rather they build a team of people who either know the answers or will find them.
8. Leaders inspire and teach their people to focus on solutions, not complaints.
9. Great leaders know that success is a process not a destination.
