Leadership is made up of 2 words: LEADER-SHIP. It’s the captain of the ship! Leadership is not a process. It’s a way of life. Leadership needs discipline, commitment, and persistence to keep it growing stronger until it becomes second nature to you. There is a major difference between a leader, a manager, a boss, and a doer.

1. Boss:

• A person who gives orders
• Believes he is always right
• Blames people for doing things wrong
• Always declares: “I’m the boss!”

2. Doer:

• A person that doesn’t trust anyone around him
• Spends his time doing the job himself
• Constantly complains about how hard he works
• Lacks confidence in people

3. Manager:

• Follows the management process very closely
• Relies on the system for controlling and maintaining his work
• The company policy is his “bible”
• Very result-oriented

4. Leader:

• Can take a task, improves it and makes it LEAN, puts it into action and gets the desired results
• He’s a trainer
• He’s a motivator
• He’s a team builder
• He’s a great communicator
• He’s an effective listener
• He’s a problem solver
• He’s a risk taker
• He’s a decision maker
• He makes things happen!
• A manager does things right; a leader does the right thing (Fortune Magazine)
• The science of NLP states that if anyone is capable of accomplishing anything, it is possible for anyone else to achieve it as well. You can learn swimming, cooking, martial arts… anything that has already been done by another human provided that: YOU MUST WANT TO DO IT NOT SIMPLY HAVE TO! You need to know how it’s done and start doing it in the exact same way. This is called MODELING.
