The #1 Trait of Elite Leaders
Mike Harbour
Through the implementation of our Quit Losing Talent Framework, we help organizations add millions to their bottom line by developing their leaders and fostering company cultures that WIN, KEEP, and INSPIRE employees
Have you ever considered what truly defines a great leader? Is it confidence? Experience? The ability to inspire and motivate others?
?
Sure, all of those are great qualities, but there’s one often overlooked trait that sets great leaders apart from good ones: mental strength.?
?
I’ve been around some of the world’s most successful leaders and I can promise you one thing. They are all ELITE at self-regulating their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
?
Look, leadership is hard. It’s unbelievably easy to get caught up in the fast-paced workplace and lead in a constant state of reaction, but that’s what the majority do.
?
If you want to be a GREAT or ELITE leader, you have to consciously choose to be different.
?
Leaders who lead through reaction are easily overcome with emotions that negatively impact their behaviors.
?
Mentally strong leaders choose to separate themselves from the emotions of challenging situations, in turn making better decisions that positively impact their reputation and results.
?
Mental strength is a leadership superpower. So much of leadership is about the way you are perceived by your people, so be mindful of your messaging.
?
Slow down, and take control of your emotions. Choose to respond, rather than react.
