Have you read any great books lately?
Over the past 12 months, I have really picked up my reading frequency and make more of an effort to do it consistently every day. I recently finished the book Business Made Simple by: Donald Miller and highly recommend it to anyone looking to become more efficient and productive. There are ten sections in the book that he discusses, but in the #CJJblog this week, I give you my feedback and thoughts on section 1, Leadership. Enjoy.
- Value driven leaders. Great leaders are obsessed with people the best returns on their investment. Are you a value-driven leader?
- Successful leaders. Have a strong aversion to seeing themselves as a victim.
- Effective leaders. Can deescalate drama very well and keep their cool under pressure.
- Outstanding leaders. Consider feedback form others as a gift. It’s important you seek feedback and welcome it as you aim to become a better leader.
- The best leaders know the best way to engage and handle conflict. Not letting a volatile situation get out of is a tremendous skill to learn.
- True value-driven leaders are seeking to become respected and trusted, as opposed to being liked by all. Do you try to become best friends with your team members?
- Effective leaders are biased toward action. Always trying to act on something as opposed to discussing it.
- Avoid confusion. Great leaders are very decisive, immediately know what’s right, and take action.
- Effective leaders are relentlessly optimistic. They believe in their actions and if they continue to do the right things, everything will work out in their favor.
- Growth mindset. Outstanding leaders always adopt the growth mindset and seek to improve their skillset.
- Great leaders are always clear about their mission.
- Effective leaders are aware of the key characteristics needed when choosing their team members.
