Do's Every Good Leader Should Practice
1. Read/Understand own emotions and recognize the impact on self and others.
2. Know one's strengths and limits. the best leaders understand they can never know and do everything and do not pretend that they do.
3. Know and have a good sense of one's self-worth and capability. There is a big divide between confidence and arrogance. Confidence comes from a strong sense of self-worth and self-awareness. arrogance comes from fear in many cases and a sense of entitlement in others. The best leaders are very confident in what they know and can do from an objective view, rather than an assumed view.
4. Think and act optimism (seeing the upside). There are two kinds of attitudes in the world; those who think and act through a lens of scarcity. Attitude shift throughout our lives for many reasons, and great leaders know the message they are sending about whatever attitude is current. Great leader go for solutions, new ideas and silver linings, even in the worst of times.
5. See and seize opportunities for contributing to the greater good. Despite conventional thinking, great leaders have low ego needs because of their solid confidence and self-worth. By not wasting time and energy to shine up their image, this kind of leader frees up energy and time to crate something greater than themselves.
