1. Take
charge and make a difference. Avoid having a victim
mentality and take responsibility for developing disciplines and new habits
that lead to being proactive and positive.
2. Live
life with a sense of significance. Develop a healthy
self-concept, recognize your uniqueness and realize you can make a difference.
Look for opportunities to grow.
3. Embrace
problems as positive opportunities. It is CRITICAL to have a
positive attitude. Embracing a negative situation causes stress that can
demoralize your individual performance and your overall productivity.
4. Build
and sustain a values-based lifestyle. Learn to build a values
system around foundational “character-based principles”.
5. Define your
vision, mission and purpose. Live with a sense of destiny, excitement
and meaning.
6. Gain
balance in all aspects of your life. When a person is out of
control and loses balance, they become highly susceptible to distress, anger,
fear, depression and even burnout. It is critical to build balance into your
life if you are to maximize your personal leadership efficiency.
7. Resolve
personal challenges and conflicts. Learn the importance of
listening, how to confront people properly and to know when to empathize at the
right time.
8. Cultivate
your individual character. Your character will determine ultimately
the quality of your relationships, your contribution at work, in your
community… and in society at large.
9. Keep
adjusting to obstacles. You must learn to make mid-course
corrections and how to deal with constant change. History is filled with
success stories, whereby individuals overcame enormous challenges and barriers
in their life to press on and accomplish great things.
10. Never give up or quit on the things you choose
are important. Those who succeed
at healthy, dynamic whole lives fail often, but they fail forward. They learn
how to stick with it and persist…they simply do not quit.
