3 Keys to Becomming A Powerful Every Day Leader
What does it take to lead in today’s economy? Why do some people thrive in business and organizations and some people falter? How does a person take their life, business or organization from where they are to where they want to be? The answer is found in the 3 Foundational Pillars of Change Agent Leadership™.
First, the every day leader must be able to lead from the inside out. This means knowing who you are as an every day leader in business. In order to know who you are, you must first know what you stand for as a leader. You must identify the fears and the limiting beliefs that are holding you back from being powerful beyond measure. The majority of business and organizational problems are a direct result of personal problems—the inability to lead the self. The failure to acknowledge your limitations will keep you stagnant and status quo. Always ask, “Who am I as a Leader?” and “What is holding me back from achieving what I want?”
Second, the every day leader must be able to perform at their potential daily. This means living with daily purpose and answering two questions of clarity: “What do I want?” and “Why do I want it?” Clarity is power! Plain and simple: when we are clear, we are focused. Every day leaders cast a clear vision identifying where they want to be in the future. If you do not know where you are going how will you know when you arrive? Every day leaders take action and grow themselves daily--what I call the 3% rule? If you invest just 3% (22 minutes) a day and use that time to grow and develop yourself, you will create unstoppable momentum. This may be reading a chapter in a leadership book, listening to an audio cd, or conversing with a mentor. If you are not growing, you are not increasing your potential to boost revenue and build meaningful business relationships.
Third, an every day leader must be a servant leader as opposed to a self-serving leader. In order to get what you want, you must provide value to others first. When attending a networking event or meeting, always ask, “What can I do for you?” instead of, “What can you do for me?” When you do this, you will see enormous growth in relationship development and business revenue. Let’s face it, people want to help and do business with friends, not strangers or acquaintances.
By incorporating these 3 key pillars of Change Agent Leadership™, you will be a powerful every day leader. Someone who knows who they are and what they stand for, live with and daily purpose, vision, and action, and build influential and meaningful relationships resulting in success and fulfillment. Remember: Focused intensity over time will create unstoppable momentum!
