Earning the Respect of Others
It is essential for a leader to have the respect of his or her followers. Respect is the key ingredient in the effectiveness of a leader. The leader whose followers respect him will go beyond the call to accomplish whatever they need to accomplish to get the job done. Most people equate being respected with being liked. Often the two are not related. It is good to be liked but you must first be respected. A leader can also be liked but not respected as a leader. Typically this is the type of leader who will not enforce standards but will allow his followers to follow their own whims.

Read articleYou are What You Say
I have heard the saying that if you want to know hat a man is about you should just watch his checkbook. I want to add to that saying. If you can’t see a man’s checkbook just listen to the words that come out of his mouth. Now let me get personal and take it just a step further. If you want to really know what’s in your own heart take some time and listen to what is coming out of your own mouth. Be objective when you do and if it’s wrong don’t try to justify it, just admit that it’s wrong.

Read articleDon't Settle for Less
I have settled for a lot less tha I should have on too many occasions in my life for me to count. When I look back at the things that I should have fought for I realize how much that I have lost over the years and I’m sure that you do also. Sometimes we can become complacent with our situation in life and begin to accept the status quo. I have done this and missed out on opportunities because I lost my hunger and my drive to be successful and when the opportunity had played itself out I was left holding the bag.

Read articlePeople Respond to Self Confidence
I feel that the law of preservation causes us to gravitate to people who seem to have everything under control. We feel safe when we are under their leadership so we gravitate to be around them. The main factor which causes us to want to be around them is the self confidence that they display.

Read articleLearn how to Utilize your Followers
As a leader the biggest favor that you can do for yourself is to learn how to utilize the people who follow them. If you are a leader trust me, this is the best favor that you can do for yourself. I learned as a young officer in the military that the people who worked under me were skilled, knowledgeable, and adept at what they knew how to do. My job was to motivate them in order to get their best effort and to supply them with the time, planning, and resources that they needed in order to do their jobs proficiently.
