What do you think of when you think of leadership?

Do you think of yourself as a leader? 

Contrary to popular belief, leadership isn't:

Commanding an audience with inspiring speeches
Having a knack for sealing deals
Seeking to draw out excellence from others
Overflowing with unshakeable confidence

Sure, those are great attributes of a leader you want to develop, yet the true essence of leadership is far simpler, yet infinitely more potent (and contagious).

One word: EXAMPLE

The trail you blaze for your team is the true test of your leadership.

Want to ascend and stand in effective leadership? Start by asking yourself...

What would I want every single member of my team to be doing?

Follow up and FOLLOW THROUGH? 

Step in to do the work?

Excel in expected behavior or exceptional behavior?
Making daily presentations to scale the business?
Being the top recruit? 

Engage and network to develop key relationships?

Providing unwavering support to your team?
Guiding the next generation of leaders?
Committing to daily personal development?

Seek and show excellence in yourself, your work, your influence?

Once you've got that list defined, start ticking off the boxes.

Live and breathe those actions.

Be the shining example.

Treat others as you wish to be treated. They see. They feel. They learn by you.

It's straightforward... AND it's a game-changer.
