Leadership is the wise use of power.

“Leaders aren’t born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.” ~ Vince Lombardi

Leadership is the wise use of power.
The Most Eye-Opening
Look at YOU—Ever.
Now On Sale.

Last week, I asked you to think about the RESULTS you have realized so far this year… and to think back over the preceding 12 months.

Did you have a string of FAILURES?

Great!

This means you are actually taking action.

Do you recognize the mistakes you made?

If so, you are well on your way to producing better RESULTS.

This week, we are going to focus on leadership: Achieving better results with, and though others… creating incredible force-multipliers in your life, by creating greater leverage through powerful interpersonal synergy.

How much more could you have accomplished over the last 12 months if you had entire teams of people working with you?

Greater Results Through Others…

Always remember, your power to lead drives your capacity to succeed.

No question, leadership skills are all important, as they are a key differentiator in organizations of every nature.

Leaders are not “born”, but are made—just like transforming a lump of coal into a diamond—under tremendous heat, pressure and time!

This week we will discuss how you can quickly sharpen your leadership skills, by taking 5 simple actions.

To put this discussion in proper context, take a few minutes to think about WHO will be helping you produce greater Results this Year:

My Expected Results:

1) ____________________________
2) ____________________________
3) ____________________________

Leadership is the wise use of power.

My Team:

1) ____________________________
2) ____________________________
3) ____________________________

TIME = 2016

What Do You Expect From Your Team?

Leadership is the wise use of power.

All last week we talked about the power of crystal-clear EXPECTATIONS… how the road to success is paved with Clear Expectations and Brilliant Execution.

High TQ Performance is the key to success—however you define it: Wealth… Power… or Happiness.

Now, I want you to focus on your TEAM.

What do you Expect from them?

What do you Expect from yourself?

Leadership 101: To be an inspirational leader, you must first be inspired by and absolutely committed to an ideal vision.

Whatever the cause, you’ll never attract anyone else’s interest if it doesn’t inspire you first.

To be an effective leader, you must learn how to share your vision with others in a way that helps them commit whole-heartedly to the same dream.

Inspire others and there’s nothing you can’t do.

Lead by example; share the dream; commit to the cost; and keep hope alive.

“Skill in the art of communication is crucial to a leader’s success. He can accomplish nothing unless he can communicate effectively.” ~ Norman Allen

Factor 7C’s CONTRIBUTION to your performance…

A high commitment to this Factor of your performance suggests you do everything possible to inspire others in a positive way.

You do your best to live your life as a model that others would choose to follow.

You have inspiring visions and strive toward high ideals. You are capable of achieving huge goals, because you have motivated an army of people to contribute their time and talents, hearts and souls to the same dream.

When this happens, they are happy to do whatever needs to be done, because they are swept up in the excitement of achieving the same mission as you.

Factor 7C’s COST to your success…

A lack of commitment suggests you are someone who underestimates the impact you have on others.

You may believe that you have a personal mission — and that only you can accomplish it.

You may mistakenly believe that your personal mission is a solo race — with no benefit to or effect on anyone else. Both of these beliefs limit your potential. Both restrict the unlimited possibilities that would be available if others could be inspired to join in, and benefit from, what you’re trying to accomplish.

The Bottom Line…

If you want to produce significantly better RESULTS… and do it in less TIME, you can. Simply turn up your Power of TQ… by doing Factor 7C more frequently.

This week, take some time to think about what your life would be like if you had more PEOPLE POWER. What could you accomplish then?

Remember, there are tangible RESULTS… and then there is everything else. Become known for producing superior RESULTS and you will become successful beyond your wildest dreams.

Don’t and you won’t.

If you haven’t already, right now is the perfect time to take a baseline assessment of your EXPECTATIONS and your POWER to achieve them. I urge you to take the full 100 question TQ Test to baseline where you are now… and what you will need to do differently to achieve your goals this year. — E.R. Haas, CEO
