Becoming Your Best
The 12 Principle of Highly Successful Leader
I)Be true to character
Having a good character is great, it is amazing to feel the compliments of others surrounding you, cheering on you and all that good stuff. But what about when they are not there, when you are alone or in a place full of strangers, what then? Are you still the cool person that everyone fancies or do you change?
What Steven Shallenberger is trying to say about staying true to character is that one cannot achieve success if someone is not showing their true self, that is because one cannot hide the truth about oneself; it may be a deceiving face, the one that a person might have, but at one point, the act will be dropped and the person will not be able to be seen as another person.
II)Use your imagination
We are all born knowing how to use our imagination however we please, it is not until we grow older that we loose touch with such ability. As children we love to imagine non existing creatures that we would just enjoy spending time with, or situations in which we were heroes with superpowers, saving people; then, there are the kids who grew up alone, with no positive reinforcement who only imagine a nice home with a caring and supporting family. Neither of these kids are bad, it was not up to them to choose whether they wanted a good family or not, they where given no option.
Exercising the power of imagination is a strong one that should be used to create positive great things.
III)Apply the power of knowledge
IV)Never Give Up
V)Find Peace and Balance
Some posses them, others do not. A healthy balance of both can bring peace and comfort, and this will guide a happy life.
VI)Live the Golden Rule
VII) Build and maintain trust
VIII)Quick to listen slow to wrath
It is of vital importance to listen to what others have to say about you to better yourself as a person and a human being. As humans, we need understanding, therefore, we must listen to understand. But not just listening, we must understand, we must not listen to reply.
IX)Lead with vision
No leader has been chosen because they are the best at guessing, or because they have extreme luck. Leaders are chosen because they are great at what they do and because they are lead by their ambitions.
But this is not just thrown into the air with hope that something great might happen.Leaders are chosen because of the vision they share with the once who are being led. Therefore, one must develop a vision to lead, one must have it vivid as reality itself, and one must do everything and anything to grasp it.
x)Manage with a plan
Improvisation is a skill that not many posses, the lucky that do are able to do something with out planning. But this can at times go sour, therefor, planning is needed. Without planning, our entire mid would be lost, infact, it takes nine months of creation and planning to create a human. Without planning, many buildings would have collapsed, a lot more sinkholes would appear, and many more infrastructure problems. Everything needs planning to be successful. No matter if it is business, friendships, relationships, school or other matters.
XI) Do what matters the most
Having control of our lives is important. There is nothing we cannot do without control. If we do not control what is important to us, such as our life and destiny, then somebody else will. There are many important things that must be done for the sake of one, and this things must be first done in order to help others. It is as simple as maintaining a schedule.
XII) Be accountable
Being brave and standing up for what one believes is correct, this makes great leaders. Without this, most leaders would hide behind their subordinates, thus, not making them good at all. Therefore, one must be willing to suffer any consequences and accept them without a second though, one must not let their fears drive them into despair. One must conquer them and stand up for what they believe in.
