21. The 7 Lessons
• Leaders Don’t Wait
• Character Counts
• Leaders have their heads in the clouds and their feet
on the ground
• Shared values make a difference
• You can’t do it alone
• The legacy you leave behind is the life you lead
• Leadership is everyone’s business.
22. 1. Leaders Don’t Wait
They are proactive, they want to produce
victories. Waiting for permission is not a
characteristic of leaders. A sense of urgency
combined with disciplined execution is.
23. 2. Character Counts
We call it the first law: if you don’t believe
the messenger – you will not believe the
message! People expect leaders to stand for
something and to have the courage of their
convictions.
24. 3. Leaders have their heads in the clouds
and their feet on the ground
Not only do we demand that leaders be
credible; we also demand that they have a
clear and compelling vision of the future.
25. 4. Shared values make a difference
Followers have needs and interests, dreams
and beliefs of their own. Leaders must be
able to gain consensus on a common cause
and common set of principles.
26. 5. You can’t do it alone
Leadership is not a solo act. Winning
strategies are always based on a “we,” not
“I” philosophy.
27. 6. The legacy you leave behind is the life
you lead
Leaders take every opportunity to show
others by their own example that they are
deeply committed to the aspirations that
they espouse. Leading by example is how
leaders make vision and values tangible. It
is how they provide evidence that they are
personally committed.
28. 7. Leadership is everyone’s business.
There is a myth that assumes that when you
are on top you are automatically a leader.
This is simply not true. Leadership is
earned, not bestowed. It is not a title. It is
a responsibility.
29. What builds up a team
• Encouragement – fostering new
ideas…soliciting input
• Shared values, shared vision – working
for toward a common goal
• Clear communication – using consistent
methods for keeping everyone informed
• Ownership – everyone on the team feels
connected and engaged
30. What breaks a team
• Lack of trust
• Lack of communication – everyone is
talking at once…so no one’s listening
• Think differently
• Have poor leadership
• Have competition between members
