Leadership is self-leadership. To lead other people, you must first lead yourself. To develop other leaders, you must first put yourself through it.

‘You must develop the person before you begin developing the leader.’

‘It’s very difficult for people to rise up if their leader refuses to put the wind of development under their wings.’

‘Your ability to develop others is dependent on what you know and what you know how to do.’

‘The only way for any person to learn leadership is to lead. Leading isn’t a theoretical exercise.’

‘If you want to develop leaders, you need to encourage them to begin practicing their leadership and giving them a place to do it.’

‘When you develop leaders, you need to prepare them today to seize opportunities in the future based on their giftedness.’

‘When you develop leaders, the most important thing you can do is let them know what you’re thinking and why.’

‘As you develop leaders, help them to cultivate their creative thinking ability. Encourage them to push the boundaries of what’s possible.’

‘When people get to weigh in on their development, they more readily buy in to owning their personal growth progress.’

‘If you will sweat with your people, they can handle the heat.’

‘When people understand that you’re in it with them, they’re more likely to engage with you.’

Before you can lead others, you must first lead yourself.

Before you expect integrity from others, you must first lead yourself with integrity.

‘Be fair and honorable in your business dealings. It’s the only way that you and your employees can leave a legacy to be proud of.’

‘Never lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do. The culture of your organization starts with you.’

‘Own your lapses in judgment. It happens to everyone. Correct the problem and return to being a person of good character.’

‘Only promise what you can deliver. The quickest way to lose trust is to overpromise and underdeliver.’

‘Be decisive. Don’t take too much counsel of your fears. Be thoughtful, but not paralyzed by indecision.’

‘Be humble in your demeanor and your expectations.’

‘You are not entitled to anything but more hard work.’

‘Attack each day as though it were critical to the organization’s success.’

‘Accept the fact that this will lead to zealousness and the occasional screwup. This overenthusiasm is better than a culture of inaction.’

‘Learn from your mistakes and be prepared to take the next big risk. Don’t let a single failure define you.’

‘No great leader was ever timid or weak-kneed.’
