Leaders we have them and we can be one. Sadly many people don’t become leaders they don’t know how. There are people who feel that they could be a leader but don’t know how to get people to follow them, or the potential leader feels that people don’t respect them.
Being a leader is tough especially if you don’t know where to start. So that is what this weeks link post is all about? Becoming a leader. These are 2 of these posts are from blogs that I have lots of respect for when it comes to finding that inner leader that is trying to claw his way out.
The First site is from Entrepreneur On Fire, If you don’t know this popular podcast you may like it. John Lee Dumas puts out a lot of content. In fact, he has inspired Kate Erickson to start her own podcast called Kates Takes. And that is where this post can be found.
Kate talks about being a leader and
7 different steps you can take to become a more effective leader. What I like about this particular post is that it doesn’t have the same old tired advice as walk tall because you look more authoritarian, and other crap like that. Kate has some real and useful advice you can use to improve your leadership skills.
She talks about finding mentors. Now, these don’t have to be someone you see every month or something. These can be mentors through a proxy, for instance, books or podcasts. You can find many people who are amazing mentors that you can listen to.
Another great piece of advice is something we all can do to help improve ourselves and that is Do something that makes you uncomfortable.
There is also the tried and true affirmations that you can speak aloud every day. along with learning something new. The moment you stop learning is the moment you start to fall behind. Plus many more points that she expounds on. So give a read and take some action.
