Leadership isthe art of inspiring people

to bring everything remarkable that they are

to everything they do.


Leadership falters,and usually very badly,without management.


Management isthe practice of making

it simple for peopleto bring everything

remarkable that they areto everything they do.


The most successful leaders have mentors and are being mentors for others.


1. Work harder on yourself than you do on your job -

Jim Rohn.


2. Invest at least 20% of your time, energy and money working on your business

(with thanks to Michael Gerber).


3. See your number one role as

helping other people to discover and enhance their gifts (talents).


4. Help everyone to see themselves as

remarkable and then help them to become who they see.


5. See yourself as remarkable and become who you see.


6. Change with the people using them any policy,

procedure, practice, process, or system that doesn't mean it's simple for people to bring their best to their work every day.


7. Systematise the sh?t i.e. everything that happens more than once create simple

systems anyone can follow.


8. Understand that repetition is the mother of skill (with thanks to Tony Robbins).


9. Ensure people have

accountability to make decisions at every transaction and interaction with

other people points of your business.


10. For major decisions have

a process that is transparent so that

people can see the logical and emotional steps you

made to arrive at your decision.


11. Simplify your strategy

into a sentence.


12. Help people create their own

unique piece of your execution map.


13. Co-create a culture of

candour where people are having candid and convivial

conversations about their piece of your execution

map every day.


14. Ensure that appreciating people when they do well and helping them to be accountable when

they don't are integral to daily conversations.


15. Compete with yourself.

Take responsibility for your intentions, feelings, thoughts, actions

and behaviours.


16. Collaborate and let other people be

responsible for their intentions, feelings, thoughts, actions

and behaviours.


17. Co-create a shared-view about how

your values will be lived behaviourially.


18. Give people immediate feedback when

you see them living your values and when they don't.


19. Co-create and maintain a shared-view with people about

where you are (reality; what is), where you're going (possibility; what can be);

why you’re going there (purpose), how you'll get where you're going (strategy),

who'll do what and when (execution; role clarity, execution plans, conversations),

how you'll know you're on track (milestones; lead measures), as well as

how you'll behave along the way (culture, values).


20. Respectfully and with dignity let go any person

not in alignment with shared-view. Everyone has a place,

just maybe not at your place.


21. Stop saying you don't have time.

You have 168 hours every week and what you do with every second is your choice.


22. Make a list at the end of every

month as to what you'll stay doing, stop doing,

and start doing, and follow it.


23. Say please, thank you,

and I love you. They're still the

most powerful words in our language.


24. Stay focused on reasons, relationships and routines.

Result follow.


25. Focus on lead measures. Detach from outcomes.


26. Maintain an

"attitude of gratitude." no matter what happens.


27. Be kind.


What would you add to this list? I'd love to know your thoughts. Please email [email protected]


I work with you to fully appreciate your life’s and leadership story, be a mentor for you as you imagine, create and live your next chapter, and while you become the

best mentor you can be for others.
