21 Rules to Lead Your Life
This morning, I woke up with the instinct to share these rules with you.
These will remind you that leadership - and personal greatness - is less about a title and more about a decision.
To work with wonder, achieve with awe, go the extra mile in all you do, innovate like Beethoven composed music, radiate optimism like Mandela led and pretty much lift up everyone you meet by the gift of your masterful example.
1. To lead is to serve.
2. At the heart of mastery lives consistency.
3. Take care of the relationship and the money will take care of itself.
4. The seduction of safety is always more dangerous than the illusion of uncertainty.
5. If you're not leaving a trail of leaders behind you, you're not leading.
6. Lead where you are planted. Start where you stand. And remember that much of winning is just beginning.
7. The humblest is the greatest.
8. Energy is more valuable than intelligence. Health is more brilliant than gold.
9. The thing you most fear carries your greatest growth.
10. All change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.
11. Don’t wait until you’re successful to work on your optimism. Work on your optimism and you’ll become a lot more successful.
12. Small daily micro-wins when done continually over time lead to staggering results.
13. Genius has less to do with natural talent and divinely blessed gifts and more to do with relentless focus [to the point of obsession], extreme practice and uncommon grit.
14. Remember that people don’t leave companies. They leave the people they worked for.
15. The secret of passion is purpose.
16. If you’re the smartest person you know, it’s time to know new people.
17. To make more money, help more people.
18. The way you begin your day determines how you live it.
19. Be decent and kind and loving. At the end you’ll have wished you were.
20. Remember that the things that get scheduled are the things that get done.
21. Do your part. Be the leader you wish the people around you would be.
As Mother Teresa said: “If each of us would sweep our own doorstep, the whole world would be clean.”
