Create a Big Vision
To become a motivational
leader, you start with
motivating yourself. You motivate yourself with a
big vision, and as you move progressively toward its
realization, you
motivate and enthuse others to work with you to
fulfill that
vision.
Jack Welch: Energize Others
Set High Standards
You exhibit absolute honesty and
integrity with everyone in everything you do. You are the
kind of person others admire and respect and want to be like.
You set a standard that others aspire to. You live in truth with
yourself and others so that they feel confident giving you their
support and their commitment.
Face Your Fears
You demonstrate courage in
everything you do by facing doubts and uncertainties and moving
forward regardless. You put up a good front even when you feel
anxious about the outcome. You don't burden others with your
fears and misgivings. You keep them to yourself. You constantly
push yourself out of your comfort zone and in the direction of
your goals. And no matter how bleak the situation might appear,
you keep on keeping on with a smile.
Inspirational Leader: 10 Roles
Be Realistic About Your
Situation
You
are intensely realistic. You refuse to engage in mental games or
self-delusion. You encourage others to be realistic and
objective about their situations as well. You encourage them to
realize and appreciate that there is a price to pay for
everything they want. They have weaknesses that they will have
to overcome, and they have standards that they will have to
meet, if they want to survive and thrive in a competitive
market.
Set Stretch Goals
Accept Responsibility
 You
accept complete responsibility for
results. You refuse to make excuses or blame others or hold
grudges against people who you feel may have wronged you. You say, "If it's to be, it's up to
me." You repeat over and over the words, "I am responsible. I am
responsible. I am responsible."
Take Vigorous Action
Finally, you take action. You know
that all mental preparation and character building is merely a
prelude to action. It's not what you say but what you do that
counts. The mark of the true leader is that he or she leads the
action. He or she is willing to go first. He or she sets the
example and acts as the role model. He or she does what he or
she expects others to do.
