Robin Sharma: "You know that it's my mission to help people across the globe Lead Without A Title. Yes, positions are important to the smooth running of any organization (whether that organization is a business or a community or a family), but the new model of leadership I've been evangelizing for years (Leadership 2.0) is all about showing leadership in the work you do, no matter what the work is. This is really all about distributed leadership. Every single teammate becomes the CEO of their own small business unit and starts to own their craft."
Tactic #1: If you can't lead yourself, you can't lead others. We have no business leading others into greatness if our interior empires are not aligned. Being successful in the game of life precedes great leadership. By getting your mindset, healthset, heartset and soulset balanced, your confidence as a leader will shine through.
Tactic #2: Never make anyone feel as if there isn't room in the life boat. No matter the mistake, no matter what mile a person is at on their road to mastery, always be ready and willing to throw a lifeline – lend a hand, offer insight, donate your time, run out for coffee. The winners understand that strengthening capacity at every level, in every person, is the way to win.
Tactic #3: Watch Invictus. Clint Eastwood's excellent and entertaining reminder of great leadership. Morgan Freeman performs as Nelson Mandela. The film teaches us how to eloquently execute astonishing acts of forgiveness, compassion and moving upward when circumstances and people hold the potential to yank you into victimhood.
Tactic #4: Stay Strong. "Secure your oxygen mask first before assisting others." Do you know where your oxygen comes from? Staying ultra fit, healthy eating habits, getting my sleep right, and doing what makes me feel alive and excited is my oxygen. It's what keeps me strong.
Refuse the lifestyle, the habits and the circumstances that weaken you.
Great leaders don't just own their full potential on the floor or in the field; they claim their potential in all domains of their life.
You can't be great in one arena and mediocre in another.
Mistrust will sniff you out and turn you in.
Make it an immediate goal to get connected with your oxygen supply.
