To know a thing or two about leadership, here, I share what you should expect if you are entertaining the idea of becoming a good leader in your field. This includes:

1.       Leadership is scary— This defines leaders regardless of whether they are scared, they take action and embrace the challenge.

2.    You need to stand for something — Principles will help you with harder decisions down the road. When in doubt, default to your principles.

3.    You need to make others succeed — As a leader, people look to you to advance the mission that you represent in order to bring more prosperity to everyone that is part of that pursuit.

4.    Make people believe in themselves and in something bigger — To make your team achieve incredible things, you first need to make them believe they are capable of greatness.

5.    Talk the talk and walk the walk — Building trust is a simple process: you need to say what you will do, do it and then show that you have done it.

…In the coming weeks, I shall dig deeper into the above five elements.
