today i'm going to be teaching you some

tips on how to be a great leader so one

of the biggest misconceptions about

leadership is that it is something that

is innate many people think that leaders

are born this way and they don't have to

spend time and effort to develop their

leadership capabilities

this cannot be any further from the

truth by implementing the 90 words of

leadership into your life you'll be able

to develop your potential as a leader

earn more money in your career and earn

even more respect from your peers and be

more fulfilled in your personal life so

here are nine tips on how to be a better

leader

tip number one integrity integrity is

the foundation of all leadership people

are not willing to follow someone whose

actions are unethical or unjust imagine

you are working for a boss who despite

your great efforts and sacrifices for

the company gives the job promotion to

employee that has been slacking off

why would you follow such a leader on

the other hand when we operate from

integrity regain the trust of the people

we work closely with trust amongst team

members is one of the most accurate

predictors of success and it all starts

with the leaders integrity then the team

members can reciprocate the behavior of

the leader and create a favorable

atmosphere so that everyone can benefit

that number two is that actions speak

louder than words a great leader should

lead by example not delegate something

to his followers not willing to do

himself during World War one general

george s patton led his troops by

walking in front of the tanks

despite the risk of being easily shot by

the enemies martin luther king jr

mahatma gandhi were all great leaders

who stood up and led by example

you're not a true leader if you are not

brave enough to take the first leap

practice doing three small things were

afraid of every day to get familiar with

being uncomfortable when the time comes

to take charge you'll have built the

resilience and confidence abilities your

friends or classmates will then see you

as a powerful gifted leader while you

are enjoying the fruits of your labor

tip number 3 be persuasive the third

secret to making people follow you as a

leader is to become more persuasive

persuasion is too broad of a topic to

cover in a single point so you should

definitely spend a lot of time studying

it because it will skyrocket your

success one powerful thing you can do to

10 times your persuasion when you ask

someone to do something for you is to

frame it so that they see the benefit

they get from doing a particular thing

if you can persuade your buddy to come

work out with you it would be wiser to

show him what he will get increased

confidence longer life and girls looking

at him right

you've been saying that you feel bored

or unmotivated to go to the gym alone

and you need a partner

tip number four is to make people feel

important the billionaire Mary Kay ashes

secret to building your empire would

imagine that every person she met had a

sign on their forehead that said make me

feel important leadership is not about

the leader it's about the followers

according to her this is a secret to

succeed in life but how do i make people

feel important genuinely ask them

questions about their interests passions

concerns and other things don't forget

to praise and thank them on the smallest

achievement never condemn offer

constructive feedback and that will help

them improve their number five is

depraved in public and correct and

private one of the worst thing the

leader can do is to condemn someone for

a mistake in front of his or her

colleagues now you've ever had friends

over and your parents got mad at you for

something you probably felt like this

not only will violate the make people

feel important tool but you will lose

your respect and credibility as a leader

of course we can all agree that mistake

should be paid attention to and

corrected in order to not be repeated

but here's a framework on how to give

proper criticism so the person that you

were criticizing two things that they do

well before criticizing them and then

one after the criticism

this is called sandwich approach let's

say that your colleague or business

partner is 20 minutes late every morning

first you talk to him in private and

start with the praise then you include

the criticism and again finishers of

praise

James the customer service you provide

for our client is really outstanding the

fact that you're late for work every

morning is a problem for us because our

team and clients need your exceptional

skills and knowledge at that time of day

just like that the number six is to take

responsibility for your mistakes leader

is not supposed to be perfect or not

make any mistakes

making mistakes is completely normal

unless you try to cover them up deny

them or make somebody else responsible

for them a great leader earns respect by

admitting his or her mistakes and

learning the lesson vulnerability is a

sign of leadership strength it is

mistakenly viewed as a weakness at

number seven is a have a clear goal or a

vision successful companies reach

consensus on all of the common goals

from top to the bottom of the hierarchy

even the most brilliant strategy will

fail if such consensus has not received

after you have set a clear achievable

and yet at the same time challenging

goal as a leader and communicated them a

call

Emily to all of your followers were

bound to achieve them despite the

University another tip to achieve goals

be it for yourself for the organization

you're in is to write them on paper

people with written goals are 51-percent

more likely to achieve the goals then

without yet only three out of a hundred

volts actually write their goals down

according to a study in the UK number

eight is to be knowledgeable so this was

the first tip and how to think like dr.

house being knowledgeable as a leader is

crucial in order to feel confident and

gain the respect of your followers

saying that you don't know how to do

something and asking for advice is fine

but when this happens regularly you

start to lose your leadership

credibility you still have to have that

technical information

always seek out new information and try

to better yourself as a person

this will inevitably make you a better

leader and more valuable as a person

that number nine is to surround yourself

with great people

there's a saying that you were the sum

average of the five people you spend

most of your time with no matter how

great the leader is he or she will

always be limited by the potential of

his employees let go of the old friends

or relatives that are holding a batter

has a whole bunch of negativity in their

life

it's ok to help them but if they keep

dragging down you should probably let

them go

surround yourself with epic people that

will challenge you to make a stronger

version of yourself Andrew Carnegie

attributed his success to being

surrounded with people way smarter than

he was in putting the brainpower to

youth become one of the wealthiest men

in the world i was Thomas Edison able to

invent the light bulb without formal

education he simply use the brand of

highly educated physicist and people

that excelled academically in

combination with his perseverance he was

able to add more than 1,000 patents to

his name
