| | Defining The Traits Of A Successful LeaderWritten by Archie R. Lawhorne
What makes a good leader? For starters, leaders don't wait for other people to give them permission to do something. They just do it. Leaders accept responsibility for choices they make in life. They don't get sucked into "victim mentality" syndrome, which is characterized by a persistent desire for people to blame others for their poor choices. Bottom line: Leaders realize that decisions they make are all theirs, and thus take full responsibility for any resulting failures. In world of business - especially network marketing and direct sales - leadership is defining ingredient that separates mediocre from superstars. It's act of persuasion. It's getting people to see new perspectives and do things they normally wouldn't do. It's about setting your ego aside and having passion and charisma to get people to follow you. Leaders don't follow. They just do. Can an average person become a leader? Yes, most certainly. People can transform themselves and make huge strides in leadership abilities just as they do in other areas of personal development. It starts with inner self-leadership and expands outward to influence and move others around you. Leadership is about self-direction and self-control and shows in what "we do."

Fear of trying new things. Fear of not being perfect. Enjoying our comfort zone (average). It's almost as if fears we have actually begin to become like bondage. Ever feel that way? You can usually tell who lives in fear. They usually wear them on their sleeves. Ever hear people say: "I would try that but I just don't have time." "That program will never work. I already tried networking and it didn't work before." "I would listen to you, but that sounds like some pyramid scheme." The list of doubts and fears that roll off people's lips is endless. Stand in any line with people, on bus or at work, and listen to idle chatter. You'll hear people's fear in their everyday conversation. "Oh, I hate working here, but job market is just too difficult to try and find something else." If you want to be a great leader, learn to conquer your fears. Embrace Failure Study histories of all great leaders and you'll see lives littered with failures. It's called "failing forward fast." And it's one of top traits of successful leaders. That's why it takes guts to be a leader. Many people are scared of failure and
