Believe
- A Leader is meant to do things for teams that they can’t do for themselves.
- They always find themselves where they can exert the most influence.
- They must combine professional will with personal humility.
They must work hard to connect with everyone around them and create authentic relationships built on trust.
They inspire better and say ‘I will always do the right thing’ and they have the courage to follow through on that promise.
A leader can identify great people, give them the resources they need, and then be willing to get out of their way.
A leader has mastered the art of taking blame and giving credit.
They know that it is their responsibility to make difficult decisions and have hard conversations. Those always come from a place of love because great leaders always want to help others win.
They know that helping others win is how great things are accomplished.
They understand that they are facilitators. They are focused on ‘we, not me’.
A leader has a way of attracting people to the cause.
They believe it is their responsibility to create fear-free environments where the team can grow, feel challenged, feel loved, and be able to do the things in life that are important to them.
They sacrifice so that others don't have to. That sacrifice is out of love. A deep commitment to making the world better. They don’t think about it. They just do it. Because it’s the right thing to do.
They wake up with a laser focus to leave the people and places they touch better than they found them.
They say: “Believe, or leave” and have the guts to follow through.
When you put people together that have fanatical discipline, a passionate commitment to excellence, and a genuine desire to serve others you have something that can’t be stopped. Be the leader people don't want to let down. You can’t buy that kind of commitment. You can only earn it.
