If you want to define a powerful leadership rules, here’s where to start:
• Be yourself. When you write your leadership rules, spare your team the corporate-speak and tell your personal story instead.
• Give in to emotion. Articulate your philosophy as a set of reminders of stories that have deep emotional meaning for you.
• Lead yourself. You have to know where you want to go in life and define your personal code of conduct before you can lead others.
• Lead the thinking. Your job is to set direction, challenge outdated thinking, and define standards.
• Lead your people. Know their jobs. Know them as individuals – not as a number on an org chart. When they know you care about them as a person, they’re more willing to give you everything they’ve got.
• Lead a balanced life. If you’re burned out, you’re worthless. Set boundaries and stick to them.
• Pull it all together. Document all your reminders (maxims) on a single piece of paper. Tape it on your wall or carry it in your wallet.
• Share. Tell people your personal story, not some imaginary tale. Once upon a time.... No...under any circumstances
Regards.
