Rule #1 - Know Yourself.
This is wisdom that is as old as mankind. You can't improve on something
you do not understand.
Rule #2- Build your Character.
Character is not inherited; it is something that can be, and
needs to be, built and disciplined.
Rule #3 - Earn your stripes.
Leaders earn the right to lead. How? They manifest character and integrity,
and they get results.
Rule #4 - Think Big Picture.
The Big Picture is your road map and rudder. It can't change in response
to minor setbacks. But it must change as the competitive environment
changes.
Rule #5 - Leaders are made, not
born. Leadership grows out of self-knowledge, character and integrity,
competence, and a comprehensive vision. When these building blocks
are in place, the leader can lead.
