Leadership is not about you. It is about other people. It is about how you treat other people.

If you want to be different, you must do things differently.

‘The only person who should ever pay for your leadership is you.’– Dr. Kevin Leman

Great leaders ‘hire for attitude (willingness and flexibility), because you can always teach skills.’

Great leaders ‘treat everyone as important- because they are.’

Great leaders ‘leave room for advancement.’

‘Great leadership isn’t professional; it’s personal.’– Dr. Kevin Leman

Great leaders surround themselves with ‘people who balance’ them.

Great Leaders ’empower people.’

Great leaders ‘learn to ask rather than demand.’

Great leaders know that ‘great leadership is not a technique. It’s not a course you master. It’s all about having the heart of a leader. It’s about caring about the people you serve and service. It’s about honesty, integrity, and inspiring others to perform at their peak potential because you respect them and consider them important members of the team. it’s about servicing your customers by helping them obtain the products they need instead of trying to sell them what they don’t want, just to make a buck. It’s about thinking about the good of the group.’

The Best Thing You Can Do For Yourself

‘The best thing you can do for your fellow, next to rousing his conscience, is- not to give him things to think about, but to wake things up that are in him; or say, to make him think for himself.’- George MacDonald

Do your own thinking. If you are not growing, it is because you are not doing your own thinking.

If you have not started doing your own thinking, if you have not started facing your own life, if you are still waiting for others to tell you what to do, how to live your life, what to do with your income, or where to take your next vacation, you are not thinking for yourself; other people are doing your thinking for you; you are not living for yourself; you are living for others.

If you are not where you want to be, maybe you are not thinking enough. Maybe you are hiding your greatness.

To get your promotion, you must do your own thinking. That is what great leaders do. They do their own thinking. They don’t wait for people to tell them how to think.

Thinking is the best thing to do for yourself. It is the gateway to your inner self. If you want to bring out the best in yourself, if you want to wake yourself up, you must do your own thinking.

Do not be scared to think. If you do not know what to think about, just think about when you were a little child. Maybe that will take you back to when you were not afraid to try different things.

Do it for you. Do not be scared of what is going to come out. Whatever comes out, you have what it takes to deal with it.

Deal with it. If you don’t deal with your secrets, they are going to deal with you. When they do, you are not going to be happy with yourself.

If you don’t think for yourself, if you do not do what you are supposed to do to get to where you want to be, life will not let you go unpunished.

If you don’t want life to deal with you, you must do your own thinking. When you do, you get bigger. And your world gets bigger.
