qualities and the major attributes of
being a leader
is just an exciting opportunity for me
now let me give you this list number one
a leader needs unwavering courage
uh the courage to do what you didn't
think you could do
the courage to step into territory that
might be a little unfamiliar the courage
to talk to somebody solve problems you
couldn't solve before that kind of
courage courage to stand up when it's
sort of dark in your corner the courage
to do it when it isn't going your way
seemingly
the courage to
try to have a good day in the midst of a
bad day that kind of courage
wavering a little at times yes because
we all have
doubts that attack us we all have small
fears that creep in
that is the nature of life
but that's what faith is all about
that's what courage is all about
to serve us
when our doubts will not serve us well
faith to overcome fear
and courage to overcome our doubts
but that is a good quality a good
attribute for a leader and that's
unwavering courage
second self-control
that of course is the very essence of
life itself
is self-control
because we all have this warfare going
on
you know it's going on in the world the
warfare between liberty and tyranny
in our own body the warfare between
health and illness the struggle between
light and darkness
we must drive the dark side of our
nature into a small corner and let the
positive side flourish
we must learn to exercise self-control
uh power is a wonderful thing but it
must be exercised properly
it must be exercised to benefit not to
destruction
so self-control is certainly necessary
to be a strong leader
so that you can become the best example
the example of having your temper well
managed
the best example of choosing
wise words and not being careless that
kind of control
control of your appetite
control of your
desires
so that they fit into the positive side
of life and not the negative side
self-control
very important the leader must have a
keen sense of justice
how very true
justice we become familiar with you know
even when we're small
when certain things that happened or
were done to us that we
something told us that wasn't right
something did us wrong
we have that sense of right and wrong
and it starts very early
then we have to have that sense of
utilizing what's right and what's wrong
so that we develop
this sense of justice
this sense of being
fair
the sense of being
on the positive side on the right side
we have to have justice when we're
building an organization you know what's
fair what is a good balance the
marketing system that to be fair for
everyone certain rules and regulations
so that all of us
have a chance to fit within this
framework
of fairness
justice
and what's right
otherwise enterprise cannot work
a sense of justice
here's another one definiteness of
decision
indecision is the thief of opportunity
if you don't decide the opportunity
could slip away
if you don't decide what you're going to
do today the day could get away and
you're not very effective the decisions
we make in the early part of our life
sometimes last for a lifetime
the early decisions that you make about
what you're going to do with your life
those decisions are vitally important
if you neglect them and don't make them
sure enough the time passes
and the opportunity sometimes is
diminished and sometimes you spend a lot
of time now catching up simply because
you didn't make those early decisions
we need decisions to correct poor
decisions
to overcome our mistakes
it's possible of course for all of us to
make unwise decisions and at the end of
one year at the end of one week one
month or at the end of a few years we
say
that decision cost me too much
cost me a lot of time cost me a lot of
money
cost me a chance to be productive
but as long as you're alive
there's still a chance to use new
decision power
to correct the mistakes of decisions
that were bad in the past
all of us have the opportunity to do
that
you got to be definite in making
decisions so that the opportunity
doesn't pass you by
take advantage
here's the next one a good leader has
definite plans
how important that is make some plans
for the future this has got to be one of
the greatest years you've got to now
make your plans uh don't let this
momentum pass you by maybe you've
because of the lack of plans have lost a
month or two or you've lost a week or
two or maybe you've lost a year
and you were 10 effective instead of 100
now is the time to change all that
and start making some plans
you got to have some plans for your
family one of the challenges all of us
have in making our plans is how to
balance everything uh to make sure that
we don't
regret at the end of the year i spend
too much time on that
i spend too much money
definite plans
the plans for the use of your money so
that you find yourself secure regardless
of what happens
one more on plans and that is the plan
for your personal
development
the plan to be better this year than
last year
the plan to take the classes attend the
workshops do everything you possibly can
to show personal progress not just
financial progress
not just the progress of having one more
car or one more home
but the progress of personality
the progress of communication skills
the progress of recruiting skills
the progress and how to deal with people
progress in using your influence so that
it multiplies its power by five by ten
versus what it used to be
you need those kind of plans
a plan for personal growth personal
development
next a good leader has the habit of
doing more
than what he gets paid for
uh doing more than you get paid for
means that you're getting ready for the
next move up
because if you do more than you get paid
for you've made an investment the
average person might think if i do more
than the company requires you know then
they're ripping me off you know i'm not
getting paid for that extra time that
extra attention but you must not view it
that way
you must say i'm getting there a little
earlier staying a little later
as an investment in my own personal
future
because i want that kind of reputation
i want that kind of philosophy to work
in my life do more than you get paid for
so what you don't get paid for don't
worry about that
just render the service
with the vision of the future that it'll
come back multiplied
if you have this kind of habit this kind
of philosophy
next
about personality
you need a pleasing personality
there's many parts to your personality
one is your working personality
you know the kind of behavior the kind
of attitude that you need especially
in the public
some things you can kind of get by with
being a little careless
maybe in private but in public where it
counts so much in your paycheck it
counts so much in building your business
for the future your own personality
but here's what you also must remember
you develop your personality in private
so that it serves you well in the public
the kind of personality that someone
says i'd like to be around this person
they're unusual they're not like the
average person i meet on my everyday
experience
that kind of personality here's the best
gift you can give someone
and that's the gift of attention
attention is so
powerful
when i was a young man i met nelson
rockefeller one of the richest men in
america at that time he's gone now
but he was a unique individual ran for
vice president
of the united states and i had a chance
to be where he was holding a press
conference and i got close enough so
when he walked out i had a chance to
step up right when security was not all
that severe in those days
and i had a chance to put out my hand
shake his hand and say mr rockefeller my
name is jim rohn
and what i remember most was the
attention he gave me
with the lights of the cameras around
and everybody all around he looked right
at me
and said jim rohn where are you from i
said idaho
he said i really like idaho it's one of
my favorite states in all of the country
and for just a few seconds he gave me
his attention shook my hand i'll never
forget the handshake right one of those
multi-million dollar handshakes
but i'll never forget that personal
attention he gave me just for a few
seconds
it was powerful
made an impression on me that's lasted
until this day that's why i remember to
tell the story
so
same thing you can learn to do
utilize your personality utilize your
influence give people the gift of
attention next a leader needs sympathy
and understanding
we have to develop that early in our
lives
all of our lives we have to look at
those that are less fortunate than we
are
those who need a helping hand and
especially now we learn to look at those
who need an opportunity
those who need a change in their health
those who need a change in their life
and in their lifestyle
it's this kind of sympathy and
understanding that construct the company
it took that kind of understanding
that kind of sympathy
that kind of deep emotional feeling what
i will do is change it for myself and
then i'll help other people that have
the same challenge lack of education
lack of the money lack of the resources
lack of good health
faced with all kinds of difficulties
they can't solve i'll get mind solved
and then i'll be strong enough and have
the skills to where i can help other
people
that kind of leadership quality
is so powerful that kind of
understanding
here's the next one
a leader must have a mastery of the
details
how very true
all can be lost
with just a couple of missing
details
on the trip to the moon everything has
to work
right there's a thousand several
thousand moving parts there's several
thousand pieces to the project of
getting to the moon and coming back and
all of them have to work
you can't have ten percent of them
working or eighty percent they've all
got to work
and then there's the backup systems for
if something goes wrong to back it up
that kind of mastery of detail
is so vitally important but this is also
important in the details of your day the
details of your business
uh the details of good communication
master the details
good advice
now here's the next three
willingness to assume full
responsibility
all of us have been taught that to take
full
100
responsibility what happened to me might
not have been my responsibility
but what i do about it
is my full responsibility it's not what
happens to you
that determines your future it's what
you do about what happens
that determines your future and this is
a major part of it accepting full
responsibility
if you've got an organization you're
conducting meetings and you're the
leader
the responsibility ends with you
someone else may mess up make some
mistakes
steal your responsibility some things
over which you have no control
understandable
but what you do about it now how you fix
it
also you've got to be responsible for
your future
nobody's going to fix it
no one else is going to design it then
you've got to have the responsibility of
designing your life
you can design a life of prosperity or
you can design a life just to coast and
get by
the responsibility belongs to you
now here's the last two next is
cooperation
one of the great things we learn in life
is how to cooperate so that we take
advantage of each other's ideas we take
advantage of each other's input
we take advantage of each other's
enthusiasm and we take advantage of each
other's willingness to grow there's an
ancient phrase that says if two or three
agree nothing is impossible
if they agree on the same project if
they agree on the same vision if they
agree on how to get there i'm telling
you nothing is impossible nothing can
stand in their way just two or three
if we cooperate there's nothing we can't
do
it'll get us to a place of honor
respect
prestige
influence
feeling good about ourselves
for the hard work that we're doing
cooperating with each other
i want to cooperate with you
helping build your business
we're on our way we will have the
billions we'll have the stories we'll
have the experiences
now here's the last one a major
attribute of leadership is vision
vision is in many parts one a vision for
your own course to follow
a vision for you for yourself
a vision for your financial future a
vision for your health a vision for your
wealth
a vision for you to latch on to and make
something out of
a vision for your
family
because vision must now lift others as
well as ourselves the people that are
around you they're counting on your
vision
perhaps you've been there a little
longer than they have maybe you've been
there a lot longer than they have and
they will look to you
to help them see things that they can't
see in the beginning
and if you will do that develop that
attribute of leadership i'm telling you
you'll have such a dramatic effect on
your organization it will be
unbelievable
a vision for yourself
a vision for your family
a vision for your organization
a vision for the people that you're
close to
the old prophet said without vision
we die
life loses its meaning but if we'll
develop this skill
beyond any other skill i'm telling you
it will help us touch people
because they'll want to be around us
because we have this look into the
future
not only the short range vision of what
we're going to do this week this month
this year but the long-range vision that
will take your organization into the
future
and bless everybody with success
