4 Habits of Great Business Leaders

I’ve been reading articles about 4 habits of great business leaders. Here are a few good points that I wanted to share:

It's not easy to rise to a position of leadership in an organization or society -- the competition is fierce. Only the people who are the best equipped to acquire leadership positions and then hold on to those positions rise to the top in any area.

Leadership studies have identified more than 50 different qualities leaders have or develop over time. Of those qualities, a few seem to be present in almost every leader who accomplished great things and earns the undying respect and loyalty of other people. Let's take a look.

Develop a vision.

To become a person of character and a leader in your community, you must develop the habit of vision. You must learn to project forward several years into the future and develop absolute clari-ty about what you want to accomplish and what it will look like if you're successful.

One way to develop a vision for each part of your life is to conduct the "magic wand" exercise. Imagine you could wave a magic wand and make your life perfect in every way. Imagine you have no limitations on what you can be, have or do. Create an image of how your life would be if it were perfect in every way.

Be the best at what you do.

In business, the most important long-term vision you can have for your organization is to "be the best." Identify the quality of your product or service that's relevant and important to your customers and then focus all the energies and creativity of your organization toward achieving superior performance in that area. Developing the habit of thinking in terms of making your business the very best in your industry is an essential quality of visionary leadership. Without this commitment to excellence, you'll automatically default to mediocre or merely satis-factory performance.

Dare to go forward.

The third most common habit of great leaders at every level is the habit of courage. Many people have exciting hopes, dreams and visions for the future, but only a few have the courage to take the necessary risks to turn those visions into realities.
