This is the fist part of what i believe is the best way to really become a leader! Setting a high goal, you see many people tend to set here goals lower so that they can be more easily achieved. So if your going to set a goal make it one that almost scares you! If your goal dose not scare you its not big enough! setting high goals will inspire the people that you lead to set there goals higher and push them and you to do everything in your power to achieve them. Think about it this way If your goal is to become the top income earner in your company. The people that are on your team following you will see your goal and that you set you goal high and will do the same. You see high goals are more more like dreams they inspire and drive you.
This is the fist step to become a leader. For more tips!

Thanks Arlen, I'm re-reading "The Four Hour Workweek" by Timothy Ferriss. In writing about goals he says, "The goals have to be unrealistic to be effective." I agree. Mundane goals do not move us off the couch but big, impossible goals will keep us moving.

Great Post Arlen, This is so true, setting a goal has to be a challenge it makes you grow into a better and stronger person giving you the conference to achieve mire on the next goal set by yourself.
ReplyDeleteSo true! We need to aim high with our goals in order to achieve high. And like you said, we must lead by example!
ReplyDeleteHi Arlen,
ReplyDeleteSure... you team do what you do not what you tell them to do.
So, if you want to help others succeed, you need to be first one to push a little bit harder and set an example.
Great tip - Thanks for sharing.

Great thoughts on being a leader! Brings to mind what I have seen some people do: Do as I say, not as I do. What they should be saying is: Do as I say and do as I do. That is a real leader!
