The Golden Five - 3 - Leadership

Five actions to take to accelerate IT and business change

The Golden Rule of Leadership

Is not - Switch from being a Manager to being a Leader

Is not - Lead more

Is - you are already leading - in all that you say, in all that you do, in all that you are

You are already communicating, coaching, managing and leading

Even if you sit in your office asleep all day - you are demonstrating yourself as a certain type of leader

Right now, realise the impact you have as a leader

And realise thIs - you already do many things leadership pretty well

As long as you believe in helping other people, you will be doing many things very well

Not the same as other people - after all, you are you
Not the same as you may have done last year - we all change
Simply as you are right now

Have the right motives and care, and people will spot it, and you will be a true leader

Now, what are you, personally going to do?

1. Do what I suggest

2. Disagree - please post comment or e-mail me davidprivate@nakedleader.com - The IT Deal is this - you disagree, then you also put forward your own suggestion on what to do instead

3. Do what you have always done (and get what you have always got)

Misc fact: If you are going to write a business book - make sure you include one or more of the following words (in order) Sex, Naked, Seven - I only managed one

Single lesson to put into action today: How many of your habits, that do not help you, do you say are "natural" - they are NOT

How can I help you? How can we help each other? Whatever your Life leadership question, challenge or vision, e-mail me to be anonymous - david@nakedleader.com or post as a comment. I will find out the most powerful how-to - exactly what to do, how and when. That is my promise to you - that is my promise. Thank you. David
