Editor's Notes
1. A deep understanding of the business: "You can't fake it. People will know." While you don't need to know every detail, you do have to have a good grasp of the business. 2. Consistency: While keeping things fresh is important, leaders cannot change direction frequently. They will lose people's confidence. 3. Influential: Getting people to want to follow. 4. Willingness to admit a mistake: Everyone makes mistakes. If you're not making any, you're not doing your job right. Emphasize the importance of admitting your missteps -- otherwise people will not respect you. 5. The ability to listen: Good leaders must be willing to handle opinions contrary to their own and absorb as much as they can. 6. Decisiveness: While you should listen to others' opinions, the final decision is yours to make. When CEOs fail, very often it's because they are not decisive. Average tenure for a CEO has fallen from more than a decade to three years because people lose confidence in leaders whose indecision results in failure. 7. Integrity: Obviously have morals is a necessity. I would also add that “association business first, your business second” is absolutely needed. 8. Commitment: You can’t lead on a part time basis. I’m not saying you give up your real job, however you must be willing to go the distance. 9. Passion: A second to none quality.
Autocratic: Leader Participative: Whole group Free-reign: Hands off, group run
What are your? Autocratic? Participative? Free-reign? Based on your leadership style what strategies would you employ? I would suggest that a combination of all 3 styles are needed to be an effective leader that can affect positive direction.
1. First Impressions: Professional appearance, personal hygiene, mannerisms. 2. Lasting Impression: Conversation, personable, alcohol consumption. 3. Association Social Skills: How to network properly, not being rude or vulgar, considerate of others time, laws of reciprocity.
