Recently, the topic on leadership struck me head on - in the area of my work, my family and even my life! It set me thinking, "What makes a great leader?".

I learned that a leader has to continue to learn and grow in order to lead his followers, including his company, his family, to higher plane. It's very easy for man to become contended or self-absorbed that one became egoistic. (Here, I'm using the term "man" interchangeably with "woman". Leadership applies to both male and female!) That's when one displayed the characteristics of "I know it all!" and "You do what I told you to!". How many of you have such leaders in your life? (LOL, I can see many hands up!)

I'm learning how to be a great leader. What about you?

First of all, develop the Habit of Initiative! Meaning to do things without being told! I know many parents would say that is exactly the kind of habit I want my kids to learn and practice. Before we even go there, what about yourself? Yes, I mean you! Have you been practicing the Habit of Initiative in your workplace, at home or in your life? Monkeys see, monkeys do! So, let us start with ourselves in developing this powerful habit before we expect our kids to follow.

Look around your workplace, your home or your life and see what you can do without anyone telling you to do it. And, just do it! Yes, I am committed to develop this Habit of Initiative! Will you join me?
