The ABCs of Leadership

You, me and everyone else has our own unique style of leadership. It's important, however, to lead by example of what you expect of your team members. For me, it involves: A - Apply the leadership skills that you have learned but be open to improving yourself.  Remember how you want to be treated by others.  Trust and respect are critical to be part of a successful team.

As a long-time Toastmaster, I continue to look for ways to sharpen my speaking and leadership skills to be ready to make a presentation to a local organization or club meetings. Years ago I believed that at some point, I would know it all and not need to do anything else. Of course, I learned that it doesn’t work that way because progress takes constant planning and execution. So how do these three simple yet powerful words that work together keep me motivated to press on to achieve my speaking and leadership goals? Opportunity.   My fellow Toastmasters know that I am all about opportunities and I say "Yes!" as many times as possible. There were times the early days of my membership when I almost backed out of giving a speech. I am so glad I didn’t because I had a great time and would have missed out on meeting people or learning something new. This also including creating opportunities for yourself by talking with others a...
