Good leaders connect with their people. Startingthe day by acknowledging their existence works

wonders.

Rule # 1 : If you think saying good morning to yourpeople is a waste of time, THINK AGAIN.


3/21

Leadership masters a positive attitude. Few good things come out of focusing onproblems or shortcomings. People thrive on positive feedback.

Rule # 2 : Dont Judge the people you are workingwith, TEACH THEM.

Create an atmosphere in whichpeople get to choose the things

they like to work on.

Imposing through authority and symbols is not

enough to win the hearts and souls of your people.

can your people grow?

Leadership moves from doing a lot of talking to doing a lot of listening.

the elephant in the room.

no safety nets. Its your choice.


12/21


13/21

Rule # 12 : Leadership & Authority arent the samething, but both need POWER.

first and foremost that you know yourself.

Leadership tests reality,

also the reality of yourown self. Leadership is

awareness.


15/21

Rule # 14 : Leadership is moral. Are you honest? Or are you

just pulling the strings?

Truth comes beforepolitics. Leadership

looks for the truth

and the beauty of it.


16/21

Rule # 15 : Imagine your actions on the front pageof a newspaper.

Leadership is stakeholder-proof. It flourishes in societys fishbowl.

Be proud of what you do or dont do it.
