  • 1. Remarkable Leaders BY JEFF HADEN Always Do!!!
  • 2. Truly outstanding leaders are made. They learn how to make quick decisions. They learn to nurture, motivate, and inspire. They learn to truly lead. They act: swiftly, decisively, and confidently. Want to become a truly outstanding leader? Work hard to do these eight things naturally, automatically, and instinctively:
  • 3. 1. Praise!!! No one gets enough praise, so truly outstanding leaders see expressing thanks, giving praise, and providing recognition as one gift that can never be given often enough. Praise is almost like breathing to a truly outstanding leader: natural, automatic, frequent, and most of all, genuine and sincere.
  • 4. Outstanding leaders quickly weigh, assess, decide, and then immediately act--because decisiveness and action build confidence and momentum. That's why making a poor decision is often better than making no decision at all. Mistakes can almost always be corrected. 2. Decide!!!
  • 5. 3. Take responsibility!!! Outstanding leaders are the first to say, "I was wrong." Outstanding leaders instinctively admit their mistakes early and often because they're quick to take responsibility and because they desperately want to build a culture where mistakes are simply challenges to overcome, not opportunities to point fingers and assign blame.
  • 6. 4. Communicate!!! Business is filled with what: What to execute, what to implement, what to say, and sometimes even what to feel. What's often missing is the why. That's why so many projects, processes, and tasks fail. Outstanding leaders explain. And then they listen -- because the most effective communication involves way more listening than talking.
  • 7. 5. Set the examples!!! Employees notice what you do. When you're in charge, everyone watches what you do. The difference lies in how you do what you do... and what that says about you. Outstanding leaders do what they do simply because it's important to them. It's part of who they are. They care about go, not show--and, in time, so do they people they work with.
  • 8. 6. Give feedback!!! We all want to improve: to be more skilled, more polished, more successful. That's why we all need constructive feedback. Outstanding leaders would tell his subordinate what he least wanted to hear and yet most needed to hear. He naturally try to change people's lives. Even if it's uncomfortable. Because they care.
  • 9. 7. Seek help!!! Outstanding leaders don't pretend to know everything. So they naturally ask questions. They automatically ask for help. And in the process they show vulnerability, respect for the knowledge and skills of others, and a willingness to listen--all of which are qualities of outstanding leaders.
  • 10. 8. Challenge!!! Outstanding leaders create guidelines and then challenge their employees and allow employees to turn "yours" into "ours," transforming work into an outward expression of each person's unique skills, talents, and experiences. That's a challenge every employee wants to face -- and one that outstanding leaders instinctively provide.
