Today, I want to share with you some of the qualities that made people like Michael Gorbachev, Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King True Leaders of their time.
As we have established in the Part 1 of the Leadership Series, True Leaders constantly think about the future and they most definitely have a vision. This is by far the most common quality of all the three people mentioned above.
Emerson once said: “You can tell how big the person is by the size of things that irritate him.” Therefore, if you are frustrated because your shoes are wet or your tooth brush doesn’t reach the 25th tooth, than you are probably not a leader just yet.
However, if you are frustrated because you see that 99.9% of all people who attempt to start a home based business fail and quit within their first year than you are on the right track, especially when it comes down to sponsoring people into your company.
Another common leadership trait those three share is principles and values. True Leaders know where they are heading at all times. They know what they stand for and what they believe in. They know what they will not compromise. True Leaders know what their values and orders of priority are.
On the other hand, non leaders are very blurry. Unlike the true leaders, they have no clue where they are heading and frankly, they don’t care much. Sure, if you ask them, they’ll tell you they want this and that and that life is bad, however, they do not have a clear understanding of where they want to be.
Another common quality is a Mission. True leaders always have a mission. They are constantly checking where they are compared to where they want to be. They constantly make adjustments in order to get back on course. True leaders are constantly aware of what is going on in their lives and make sure that everything they are doing right now is beneficial to their life’s mission.
To conclude the second part of the Leadership Series I just want to remind you that, in order to be extraordinary and lead an extraordinary life, you don’t need to be Gorbachev, Churchill, King or Emerson. You need to be just a fraction more of what you are right now.
