"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everyone inspires to be a leader UNTIL they have to do real leadership behaviors!
- Visionary Thinking: Are you brave enough to create a vision that could put your revenue, business and the careers of others at possible risk?
- Emotional Intelligence: Do you operate in a place of self awareness of your impact on others around you? Do you control your emotions or do they control you?
- Decisiveness: Do you trust yourself to make the hard choice and live with the consequences? Are you afraid to fail?
- Integrity: Do you do what you say you will do?
- Adaptability: Are you humble enough to gather advice when your plan needs to be adjusted? Are you aware of the ever changing environments of economics, business and society?
- Empathy: Do you have the heart to listen to the needs of others without judgment?
- Courage: Are you willing to take risks, be unpopular, and face adversity?
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do." -Eleanor Roosevelt
I challenge you to step into your leadership skills no matter your role in a business or in life! The world is in need of leaders to help inspire others to achieve their potential.
Will you accept the challenge? Remember you are NOT ALONE!
