Do you know the difference between leaders, followers, and losers? Leaders stretch with challenges. Followers struggle with challenges. Losers shrink from challenges.Most good leaders want the perspective of people they trust.To lead any way other than by example, we send a fuzzy picture of leadership to others. If we work on improving ourselves first and make that our
primary mission, then others are more likely to follow.All true leaders have learned to say no to the good in order to say yes to the best.The best leaders are humble enough to realize their victories depend upon their people.Leaders see everything with a leadership bias.Their focus is on mobilizing people and leveraging resources to achieve their goals rather than on using their own individual efforts. Leaders who want to succeed maximize every asset and resource they have for the benefit of their organization. For that reason, they are continually aware of what they have at their disposal.It's not the position that makes the leader; it's the leader that makes the position.When leaders fail to empower others, it is usually due to three main reasons: 1. Desire for Job
Security 2. Resistance to Change 3. Lack of Self- Worth.When people respect you as a person, they admire you. When they respect you as a friend, they
love you. When they respect you as a leader, they follow you.Leadership has less to do with position than it does disposition.
