Great leaders are singular people. Their daily routines consist of targeted, intentional behaviors to help those around them attain maximum performance. Here are 10 keys to embodying leadership, from Forbes contributor and experience architect Stan Phelps.
1. Good leaders are like icebergs. The tip, or the actions a leader performs, is supported by the vast underwater part of the iceberg — the values and character of the leader.
2. A leader sets the culture of an organization. Leaders embody and reinforce key organizational values, which drive organizational behavior.
3. Effective leaders sum up the future in a few short words. Forget complex mission statements, and consider branding the way forward with a short "bumper sticker" phrase.
4. Good leaders can be anywhere. A lofty job title does not make a leader.
5. Leaders get to know their teams. Great leaders listen more than they talk, and learn to prioritize serving their team over serving themselves.
6. Leaders are willing to serve in capacities both large and small. Helping with the little things when it is necessary indicates a deep understanding of the strategic plan necessary to get a team off the ground.
7. Leaders connect the present to the future. They are able to do what must be done today so that there is a tomorrow.
8. Leaders select team members who fit with the organization to avoid later problems.
9. Leaders are always on the lookout for ways to improve, both personally and professionally.
10. Leaders subscribe to R&R — relationships and results — as metrics of success.
