They say leaders are born, not made. Well! I’d like to say that’s not true! While you can have some innate traits that make you a great leader, but mostly, leadership is a conscious path; the path that you choose for yourself and then you take careful steps to reach new pinnacles of success. You adapt certain qualities that help you stand out as a changemaker and impact-creator.
Want a head start in 2022 as a conscious leader?
Here are 22 lessons you should adapt moving forward.
1.) Be flexible, agile and adaptable. Leaders are not rigid. They evaluate and adjust.
2.) Have an open mind. Listen to different viewpoints and then make a decision.
3.) Plan for a rainy day. It’s going to rain one day or the other, make sure you have an umbrella.
4.) Become an observer and think outside the box (this is what unlocks creativity).
5.) Consult & Build an “A Team”. You can’t multiply your bounty without an extra hands-on deck.
6.) Become disruptive. Have an opinion, and don’t be shy to voice it out.
7.) Tap into your intuition. Trust your gut as a gauge (this is HUGE!).
8.) Bring in the WOW factor. The person that surprises other people in a good way.
9.) Bring in POSITIVE energy and you’ll attract positive in return.
10.) Take massive imperfect action. Action creates momentum and momentum leads to success.
11.) Develop a Disciplined Mind by doing HARD THINGS (you’re a leader for a reason!)
12.) Seek out new connections. Make relationships. Collaborate.
13.) Seek out brand new, never done before experiences.
14.) Lead people in a giving project where everyone walks together for a cause.
15.) Decide what you want to be remembered for. Write out your Eulogy.
16.) Develop discipline by fasting. Do the things that hurt. This will make you unbreakable.
17.) Become not only a visionary but a voice of positivity.
18.) Surround yourself with conscious leaders and become a part of the conversations.
19.) Overworking is no longer a badge to wear. Conscious leaders realize everyone needs time to reset and they practice it.
20.) Progress over perfection. Move forward. Leaders don’t get stuck.
21.) See the end result. Hold the outcome in front of your mind. This will help you focus on the bigger picture, instead of getting stuck in minute details.
22.) Conscious leadership is ultimately about IMPACT, LOVE AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
