21. The 7 Lessons
⢠Leaders Donât Wait
⢠Character Counts
⢠Leaders have their heads in the clouds and their feet
on the ground
⢠Shared values make a difference
⢠You canât do it alone
⢠The legacy you leave behind is the life you lead
⢠Leadership is everyoneâs business.
22. 1. Leaders Donât 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 donât believe
the messenger â 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 canât do it alone
Leadership is not a solo act. Winning
strategies are always based on a âwe,â not
âIâ 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 everyoneâs 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

ideasâŚsoliciting input
⢠Shared values, shared vision â working
for toward a common goal
⢠Clear communication â using consistent
methods for keeping everyone informed
