20 Tips that will improve your Leadership in Seconds

Leadership to me is all about the ability to show up and allow everyone around you to step forth.  I have come up with tips that I invite you to concentrate on and then take the necessary action.
  1. Be aware of your presence and how you show up in the moment.
  2. Always keep the promises you make to others and to yourself.
  3. Small steps daily are the key to staggering lifelong success.
  4. Read ‘Seconds Away from Outstanding Leadership’
  5. Every day develop your inner as well as your outer capacity to deal with these complex times.
  6. Set the clock, get up early and enjoy the silence of the early morning.
  7. Be ‘apple like’ in your obsession with getting the details right.
  8. Look after your health and energy; hire a personal trainer.
  9. Every morning ask yourself, ‘what three things will I do today to bring me closer to my vision?’
  10. Say no to distractions and chunk your day down to 90 minute chunks.
  11. Your job as a leader is not to create more followers; it is to create more leaders.
  12. Keep a thinking journal, carry it everywhere with you.
  13. At the beginning of each new day and last thing at night, look at your long term vision.
  14. On Sunday evening plan out the next week in advance.
  15. Every morning do the difficult tasks first.
  16. Have a large jug of water on your desk, stay hydrated.
  17. Be there for people, speak less, listen more.
  18. Cut out the bickering within an organisation.
  19. Remember you become who you have coffee with.
  20. De-clutter your office space.

The Discipline of Leadership

It takes discipline to be an outstanding leader.  Discipline is all about the choices that you make each day.  You give yourself a command and then you make the decision to follow through with it.

Discipline brings about clarity of mind and helps you shut out distractions.  It takes discipline to do the difficult things in life first.  I once heard a great quote to have what the very few have, do what the very few do.  To be stunningly magnificent at what you do in life takes focus, simplicity and the self-discipline to live your life on your own terms.
  • Time and energy are two of your most special commodities, use them wisely.
  • Only check and deal with your emails twice per day.
  • Cut out useless meetings.  Ask yourself on a scale of 1-10, how important is this meeting?
  • Resolve any broken agreements or promises you have not kept.
  • Discipline is about repetition and continuing to do the right thing every day.
  • If the processes around you are not helping you and your team towards success, get rid of them.
