Be the leader you admire

“A good leader commits to making things happen, takes responsibility for the outcome and enables those around them to succeed“

I was reminded this week by my friend, business coach and MBA journey-woman Marlene Cronje,  of the simple truth that leaders are those who make things happen. This is true of ourselves and of the people we employ.  

Great leaders…

  1. Make results happen rather than finding excuses to fail  
  2. Focus on important priorities rather than hiding behind busyness  
  3. Take accountability for the good and the bad, rather than blaming others  
  4. Support and acknowledge others rather than taking the limelight from other’s hard work  
  5. Put their own shoulder to the wheel rather than simply leaning on their title or position 

Perhaps lastly though, leadership is a lifelong learning and growing opportunity where each of us stumble at times. So, this week lets help each other to master the art, because the world (and our country) needs more good leaders!   

Lets be the leader we admire! 

Have a fabulous week out there!
