Leadership Reflection

How are you doing as a leader? Here is a list of 7 benchmarks you can reflect on.

Replace

The ability to replace yourself. This is the highest honor for a great leader. Invest your life, love and energy in someone until he can do it better than you!

Vision

The ability to cast a big vision! Great people follow great visions. Not only do they follow the vision, but also the leader who can communicate it in a way that generates a passion to follow it. People follow people with a big vision!

Others

A passion to make others great. Great leaders know: “It’s not about me”. They know that, wherever they are, they make everyone around them the best they can be! Leave a legacy through others!

Risk

The willingness to Risk it. This goes without saying. A great leader is not foolish, but willing to move without having answered every question in advance.

Speak

The willingness to say, “I was wrong.” Despite a leader’s passion, vision and drive, he still makes mistakes. A great leader is always willing to say “I was wrong.” It empowers those around him.

Listen

The humility to listen to others. When a leader leads, others are following, and a great leader will never be a “know-it-all”. He will recognize and thrive on the abilities of those in his team!

Change

They are always in a state of change! If you aren’t changing, you aren’t growing. A stagnant leader is an ineffective leader. That means: Reading, mentoring, coaching & more learning. Never stop!
