Seven Concepts of Successful Leaders

Successful leaders share seven core concepts.  Some of these concepts may surprise you and others are no brainers. Let’s get right to them.

1. Clarity
Successful leaders are crystal clear on what they want and don't want.  They spend the majority of their time focusing on and producing in the areas that they love.  They develop a top-notch team, or their TNT, to take care of the rest.

2. Continuous Learning
A key tenet of great leaders is “I’m never done learning,” which keeps them relevant in their industry. However, it is their willingness to take action and use the knowledge they have that sets them apart from the crowd and thrive.

3. Constraint
Leaders know when to use restraint and when to let go.  Great leaders don’t blow up on a whim or when it’s inappropriate.

4. Creativity
Great leaders are masters of creating something out of nothing. Their drive and determination inspire them to be innovators. They find winning solutions were others can’t.  The lesson here is multitasking is a myth, at best an exception to the rule.

5. Concentration
All the top leaders I’ve worked with, spoken with and those I’ve studied, credit their ability to single-mindedly focus on their goals and priorities as the number one reason for their success.

6. Courage
No one can make it to the top without courage. Courage keeps us motivated, engaged and committed, which is essential to staying focused.  Your courage will sustain you when people tell you that your dream is impossible.

7. Competence
Great leaders are masters of their domain. They are current on trends, fads, industries and markets.
