If you cant lead yourself, others wont follow you

You should always lead yourself first before leading others


• Lifting your leader lifts youLeaders can give up many things. They can delegate many things. The one thing that the top leader can never let go of is final responsibility.

• Lifting shows you are a team player• Lifting shows gratitude for being on the team• Lifting makes you part of something bigger

When you help someone bigger than you, it makes you part of something bigger.

• Lifting gets you notices• Lifting increases your value and influence

The lift you give for the leader often leads to the leader lifting you

they want to hear• Go the extra mile• Stand up for your leader whenever you can• Stand in for your leader whenever you can• Ask your leader how you can lift the loadHOW

Understand, Practice,and Complete the Leadership Loop

• Caring – Take an interest in peoplePeople always move toward someone who increases them and away from anyone who decreases them.

• Learning – get to know people• Appreciating – Respect people• Contributing – add value to people

Few things increase the credibility of leaders more than adding value to the people around them.

• Verbalizing – affirm people• Leading – influence people• Succeeding – win with people

Great leaders don’t use people so that they can win. They lead people so that they all can win together.

• The whole goal of healthy competition is to leverage is for the corporate win

• Know where to draw the line

• Avoid gossip• Great people talk about ideas, average people talk

about themselves, and small people talk about others• Stay away from petty arguments• Stand up for what’s right, not just for what’s popular• Look at all sides of the issue• Before you have an argument with your boss, take a

good look at both sides – his side and the outside• Don’t protect your turf• Say what you mean, and mean what you say

Avoid office politics



• Three Investment in Ideas• The Intellectual investment• The Physical investment• The Emotional investment

• If your desire to become a 360-degree leader, then you need to resist the temptation to fight for your idea when it’s not the best idea.

Let the best idea win


• How to be real• Admit your faults• Ask for advice• Worry less about what others think• Be open to learning from others• Put away pride and pretence

Don’t pretend you’re perfect
