Seven Principles of Leadership


 


“Nothing is more harmful to the service than the neglect of discipline; for it is discipline more than numbers that gives one army superiority over another.” 

—GEORGE WASHINGTON



1 . Clarity

 This is perhaps your most important responsibility. You must be absolutely clear about who you are and what you stand for. You must be absolutely clear about your vision and where you want to lead your people. You must be absolutely clear about the goals and objectives of the organization and how they are to be obtained.

Especially, you must be absolutely clear about the values, mission, and purpose of the organization and what it stands for. Everyone around you and below you must know exactly why they are doing what they do and what their company has been formed to accomplish. 






 2 . Competence: 

As the leader, you must set a standard of excellent performance for the organization as well as for every person and function in the company. Your goal must be for your company to be as good as, or better than, your very best competitor. You must be continually seeking ways to improve the quality of your products and services to your customers.






3. Commitment: 

The leader is absolutely committed to the success of the organization and believes completely that this organization is the best in the business or will be the best in the future. This passionate commitment to the organization—and to success and achievement— motivates and inspires people to do their best work and put their whole hearts into their jobs.







4. Constraints:

 The job of the leader is to identify the constraints or limiting factors that set the speed at which the company achieves its most important goals of revenue and profitability.

The leader then allocates people and resources to alleviate those constraints and remove the obstacles so it can perform as one of the best in the industry.







5. Creativity: 

The leader is open to new ideas of all kinds and from all sources. The leader is continually encouraging people to find faster, better,cheaper, and easier ways to produce excellent products and services and to take better care of customers.







6 . Continuous Learning: 

The leader is personally committed to reading, listening, and upgrading his or her personal knowledge and skills as an executive. The leader should attend additional seminars and courses to improve his or her skills and abilities.

At the same time, the leader encourages everyone in the organization to learn and grow as a normal and natural part of business life. The leader provides time and resources for training and development. The leader knows that the best companies have the best-trained people. The second-best companies have the second-best trained people. And the third-best companies have the least-trained people—and are on their way out of business.






7 . Consistency: 

The leader has the self-discipline to be consistent, dependable, reliable, calm, and predictable in all situations. One of the great comforts of business life is for an employee to know that the leader is completely consistent and reliable. An effective leader does not change from day to day. The leader is not “blown in the wind” by each new situation, problem, or emergency that arises. Instead, the leader is calm, positive, and confident— especially under pressure.

Self-Discipline and Peace of Mind

“ Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves;they therefore remain bound. The man who does not shrink from self-crucifixion can neverfail to accomplish the object upon which his heart is set. This is true of earthly as of heavenlythings. Even the man whose object is to acquire wealth must be prepared to make greatpersonal sacrifices before he can accomplish his object; and how much more so he whowould realize a strong and well-poised life.”  —JAMES ALLEN You require high levels of self-discipline if you truly desire to develop all your inner resources and fulfill your true potential. Throughout the ages, in all religions and philosophies the highest human good or idea has been peace of mind. Your ability to achieve your own peace of mind is the true measure of your success and the key determinant of your happiness. To develop spiritually, and to become a fully functioning person, you must regularly apply self-discipline and self-control to y

Self-Discipline and Personal Excellence

  “We are what we repeatedly do; excellence then is not an act but a habit.”  —ARISTOTLE You are your most valuable asset. Your life, your potential, and your possibilities are the most precious things you have. Thus your great goal in lifeshould be to fulfill that potential and become everything you are capable of becoming.           Your ability to learn, grow, and fulfill your potential is unlimited. Today, people are graduating from high school and college in their seventies, learning new subjects and developing new capabilities. Your ability to learn and remember can continue throughout your life if you keep your brain alive, alert, and functioning at its best.             Your most precious financial asset is your earning ability . Your ability to work is your primary source of cash throughout your life. You could lose your home, your car, your bank account, and everything you own, but as long as you have your earning ability, you can earn it all back—and more —in the months and

10 Essential Rules For A Happy And Long Life

  1 Stay active; don’t retire.  Those who give up the things they love doing and do well lose their purpose in life. That’s why it’s so important to keep doing things of value, making progress, bringing beauty or utility to others, helping out, and shaping the world around you, even after your “official” professional activity has ended. 2 Take it slow.  Being in a hurry is inversely proportional to quality of life. As the old saying goes,“Walk slowly and you’ll go far.” When we leave urgency behind, life and time take on new meaning. 3 Don’t fill your stomach.  Less is more when it comes to eating for long life, too. According to the 80 percent rule, in order to stay healthier longer, we should eat a little less than our hunger demands instead of stuffing ourselves. 4 Surround yourself with good friends.  Friends are the best medicine, there for confiding worries over a good chat, sharing stories that brighten your day, getting advice, having fun, dreaming . . . in other words, living.
