WHO ARE THE LEADERS YOU ADMIRE

I do a lot of leadership trainings for various organizations. One of the key things I ask the audience first off is, "Who are the leaders you admire?".
First, we often think of the famous people. I thought of Oprah and the Ruth Bader Ginsburg. A lot of people come up with names of famous people. There is a lot of them and a lot of great ones.
Then there are others who are the leaders you admire, who've made a difference in your life, whom you have admired as leaders in your careers, possibly as a kid if they were your coaches, your teachers. My sixth grade teacher was amazing.
I also think about my mom who early on as I was building Slater Success sat me down and asked me key questions of what's my vision for this company.
How do I see scaling? Is it the financial formula?
Is it scalable?
What will it look like?

And how will it work?
My mom had a great business head on her shoulders.
And so did my dad who taught me about using a piece of pen and paper and putting down the numbers and understanding what profitability is. He used to say to me, "If you can't run those numbers on a piece of scratch paper and truly know your numbers quickly and sharply, you have no business running a business".
Here's the bottom line.
Take a moment and think about the leaders you admire. Who are they; what impact and traits they have that you want to take on and incorporate in your leadership? How are you going to do that?
I'd love to hear your response about who the leaders are and the traits you admire. As we all share, we can make an impact and learn from each other.

3 个月The leaders I admire have the ability to be “in the trenches” and understanding what they are asking and expecting of people day to day without losing sight of the larger picture. It’s always the folks who know where I am, meet me there and show me a path forward who make the most impact.
