Leaders Aren’t Born, But Bred!

By G. L. Giddings
Companies, teams, and organizations are always "sorting for leaders"! The most effective leaders prepare for higher levels of leadership throughout their careers. Very few people will claim pure luck for their success, or being in the “right place at the right time”, or they just magically making things happen. It's said that “Luck happens when PREPARATION meets OPPORTUNITY.”
Among the most important leadership responsibilities are effective communication with your organization, setting appropriate strategic visions, inspiring engagement and action on focused priorities, and successfully leading the team through the toughest challenges. Many “so-called” leaders haven’t developed the skills necessary to successfully lead with these important responsibilities. 
Here Are (5) Critical Elements of Leadership Development:
1. Your Experiences (“What you've done in the past?” versus “What you are doing right now?”)
2. Personal Performance (You have to be in it to WIN it!)
3. Personal development (Reading a chapter of a good book a day; staying plugged into trainings, conference calls, briefings, etc.)
4. Mentoring & Coaching (Create an ACTION SYSTEM’s Training program for your team to follow; “SYSTEM” stands for “SAVING YOUR SELF TIME, ENERGY, & MONEY!”)
5. Commitment & Accountability (INSPECT what you EXPECT!)
Find leaders that “fit” your company’s personality. Get in the habit of “SORTING FOR LEADERS”, not convincing others to become one. You will find that prospects who sincerely want to be a part of your business opportunity will work towards the overall goal of the organization. You’ll have more success and less headaches in reaching your goals and dreams. TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More!
