Today, I want to share with you two of the four ways that will help you move yourself out of your own way and become a more effective leader.
Learn How To Follow
Only a leader who has followed well knows how to lead others well. Good leadership requires an understanding of the world that followers live. Connecting with your people becomes possible because you have walked in their shoes. You know what it means to be under authority and thus have a better sense of how authority should be exercised. In contrast, leaders who have never followed very well or submitted to authority tend to be prideful and unrealistic.
Arrogant leaders are rarely effective in the long run. They alienate their followers, their collegues, and their leaders. Learn to submit to another person's leadership and to follow well, and you'll become a more humble and effective leader.
Develop Self Discipline
Each of us is "king" of our own lives. We are responsible for ruling our actions and decisions. To make consistently good decisions, to take the right action when needed, and to refrain from the wrong actions requires character and self-discipline. To do otherwise is to lose control of ourselves.....to do or say things we regret, to miss opportunities we are given, to spend ourselves into debt.
When we are foolish, we want to conquer the world. When we are wise, we want to conquer ourselves. That begins when we do what we should, no matter how we feel about it.
Later, I'll share the last two principles with you.
