Management Consultant Suzanne Howard believes that leaders need not live a stressful life. So do I.
* 1. Success: Most leaders have a sense of purpose, a mission that sets their standards for success. Develop and follow your own high standards.
* 2. Knowledge: Start with knowing yourself. Maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.
* 3. Information: A manager has to know how to do something; a leader has to know why in order to do it.
* 4. Love: Begin by loving yourself. It is a prerequisite for loving others.
* 5. Learning: Leaders turn their errors and failures into learning experiences that contribute to their future successes.
* 6. Persistence: Persistence means overcoming your fear of failure and realizing that no one succeeds on their first try every time.
* 7. Opportunity: "The best way to miss success is to miss the opportunity", so says Mr. Willoughby Lewis, an insurance adjuster and good friend.
* 8. Winning: Part of this is an attitude or perception. Winners concentrate on their strengths and make things happen; losers let things happen.
* 9. Enthusiasm: The secret to having enthusiasm is working at a job you like. You can always learn the technical skills to work at a number of jobs, but when you work at a job you like your enthusiasm naturally shows through.
* 10. Renewal: Take time to be good to yourself. Have fun. Go shopping. Take a trip. Have a "Girls Night Out" or correspondingly, a "Boys Night Out". Look for and come up with creative ways to reward yourself. They will lead to successful outcomes for you because they are different ways to help you renew your vitality, your enthusiasm, and your focus.
Put these strategies into practice, into your daily routines, and watch an improvement in your personal achievement, productivity, and satisfaction.
Remember: When you maximize your potential and help others to maximize theirs, everyone wins. When you don't, we all lose.
