The "Secrets" of Great Leadership

Your ability to take charge, to lead, to get the best out of yourself and others, is vital to your achieving your full potential in life. The good news is that leaders are made, usually self-made through work on themselves, not born. Leadership is action, not position. It is defined by what you do, not by your title on your business card. A leader is someone who executes, takes action, and achieves goals and moves ahead. What this means is that you can be a leader without dedicated followers - simply by accomplishing results and positively influencing those around you. In fact, that is the definition of leadership: "The ability to get results and positively influence others." When you think and act like a leader, you soon get the results that leaders get, and enjoy the results of leadership: respect, esteem, more opportunities, higher pay and a life of significance - making a real difference in your world. There is more good news. Leadership is not fixed. It is a set of learnable principles and qualities. This means that you can learn any leadership skill you need to achieve any leadership goal that you can set for yourself. How do top leaders think and act? In more than 3,300 studies of leaders over the centuries, they have identified "ten key principles (or processes of leadership and ten key qualities of leadership" that you can learn and apply. There are no real "secrets" of leadership. There are only timeless truths that have been discovered and rediscovered again and again over the centuries. Would you like to learn more about these ten key principles and qualities? Truth@Life can help. Call 248-396-6255 or email me at curtis.songer@gmail.com for a free consultation.
