Ignite your passion

Enable others to act:

Unless there are strict guidelines/regulations or safety concerns, if you don’t allow your followers to make their own decisions they likely will find reasons to disagree with yours.

You can enable others to act by giving them the tools and processes they need to succeed, trust them to handle the rest.

Coaching key people:

It’s one thing to identify your top performing employees, but you also need to nurture their success and help them grow within your organization.

In order for you to successfully lead a growing number of people, you need to enable your key people to lead as well and help push progress forward.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them. – John C. Maxwell

Respect for others:

When you show respect towards other people, it is much easier to build meaningful, beneficial relationships.

You need to keep your promises, don’t waste their time, stop gossiping, believe in other’s ideas, stand up for them and truly care about their well-being.

Conduct effective meetings:

Sadly, most meeting are never as productive as they could be.

After all, if you are an entrepreneur, you usually get to work with people that you like which can be distracting.

Effective leadership is about using meeting time as effectively as possible.

Start by having an agenda, eliminate distractions, have a start/end time (no exceptions), encourage everyone to contribute, encourage note taking and follow up after the meeting.

Evaluative:

Great leaders are able to carefully and quickly analyze a situation and/or person.
Being decisive doesn’t mean making a decision quickly, it means making the right decisions in a practical, timely manner.

Don’t allow your decisiveness to alienate team members from the decision making process.

Rewarding:

People often seek recognition from people they follow, that’s why it’s important to reward your team members for their input, especially when they go above and beyond.

Monetary rewards are nice, but thoughtful, personal rewards can be more impactful.

Takes responsibly:

In the same way leaders are quick to give their team credit, they are also quick to take responsibility for negative outcomes.

Great leaders know that when they accept responsibility for their actions, they can positively effect the outcomes.

A good leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit. – John Maxwell

Understand what motivates others:

For better or worse, human beings tend to care mostly about themselves and are motivated by selfish altruism.

Simply put, you need to figure out what people want for them selves: Notoriety? Money? Recognition? Understand that it will be different for everyone.

Get the best from others:

By understanding what people really want, you can help them better perform by properly incentivizing (not only with money) their work and progress towards larger goals.

To get the best from others a leader needs to understand their motivations, be positive, generous, open-minded and be able to control their attitude.

If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea. – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
