Leadership First

“SUCCESS isn't just about what you accomplish in your life, it's about what you INSPIRE others to do.” No one said leadership was easy, and it's definitely not for the faint of heart. Becoming one of the greats of leadership requires making some very tough and unpopular decisions. Accepting responsibility when things go wrong while giving away the credit when things go well; running headfirst in the fire when everyone else is running the next direction. Leadership will have its challenging days, but the satisfaction of knowing that you are impacting and making a difference every day far outweighs any challenge on any given day. Always remember that success isn't just about what you accomplish in your life; it's about what you inspire others to do.

Mistakes will happen; it is inevitable; what happens after differentiates average organizations from great ones. When errors are made, our actions shift from doing the right thing to covering our behinds in many instances. Pointing fingers rather than accepting personal responsibility, hiding errors rather than fixing them, and allowing minor problems to become big ones because they’re inadequately addressed. Remember that mistakes are vital to our growth; we often put way too much pressure on ourselves to seek some unrealistic ideal of perfection. As the leader, let your team know there’s no shame in making mistakes, and most importantly, you have their back when they happen. I have seen people in leadership positions duck and throw their people under the bus when mistakes happen, and this leads to mistrust, lack of inspiration and the fear of trying anything new. The most extraordinary people in their felids have made countless mistakes; they didn’t give up. They persevered and inspired many people to follow their example; as Albert Einstein puts it, a person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

Real leadership has always been built on integrity and strong character. It's not just a role one plays; it is a life one leads, whether you are at home or the office. How many CEOs have resigned because of their questionable character and behavior? They destroy their reputation in a matter of seconds. This is why leaders of good character inspire employees to think and act in ways that contribute to their organization and society's well-being. It's not about an image one portrays for the public; it's about being your real, authentic self while living your life as an example for your team to follow.
