Leadership

“We continue, however to write about important people, prize-winning people, blacks of grandeur, women of great fire, fame or wit. We do not write about ordinary people.”  Jonathon Kozol “On Being a Teacher”.

I RECENTLY CAME ACROSS THIS DOCUMENT IN MY ARCHIVES – I HAVE NO CITATION/REFERENCE

  • Leaders are people that can be relied on to set the right example and set standards within the business
  1. Be punctual – it shows dedication
  2. Act the way you expect the people in your office to act
  3. Work one on one as much as possible – it’s much harder to learn in a larger group
  4. Become a problem solver – if you can find the positives when its pouring with rain, other people will do the same
  5. Have a positive attitude no matter how your day went, don’t spend time with negatives
  6. Go into the field with excitement and urgency
  7. Find ways to stand out – impact people

  17. Admit your mistakes without being apologetic. Always let it be known that you are working on improvement
