Secret Habits thats create legendary leadership
I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
– Pablo Picasso
The brain is the strongest muscle in the body. You’ve heard stories of how combat soldiers have been shot repeatedly but were not aware of it until the fight was over. These stories are true, and the power to do such things comes from the mind and can be tapped into by practicing mental preparation.
Are you aware of the impact of awesome habits for success and positive thinking on your personal development? But how to best build these habits and this positive attitude is another matter, isn’t it?
Let me tell you about the secret habits that I focused on.
1-Maintain positive attitude-Learn what attitude is, what aspects of your life are controlled or directed by your attitude, and how to determine your attitude at any given moment. Know what specific strategies make a positive attitude a permanent habit in your life.You will perhaps have heard this very old story illustrating the difference between positive and negative thinking.
Many years ago two salesmen were sent by a British shoe manufacturer to Africa to investigate and report back on market potential.
The first salesman reported back, “There is no potential here — nobody wears shoes.”
The second salesman reported back, “There is massive potential here — nobody wears shoes.”
This simple short story provides one of the best examples of how a single situation may be viewed in two quite different ways — negatively or positively. And it is not difficult to see which one you want, eh?
2-Be loyal-:Team loyalty in the corporate environment seems to be a dying philosophy. Loyalty to the team starts at the top.
3-Put others before yourself-:Get up every day and ask yourself what you will do to add value to your team, such as simply offering your assistance with a project.
4-Assume you don’t know enough-:Because you don’t. Any effective team member understands that training is never complete. It’s true in the SEAL teams, and it’s true in any elite team. Those who assume they know everything should be eliminated. Those who spend time inside and outside of the workplace developing their knowledge and skills will provide the momentum for their team’s forward progress.
5-Be persistent-Develop the focus and determination required to succeed. Create an attitude of gratitude as the access to fulfilling your dreams.
6-Never get comfortable-Always push yourself outside of your comfort zone. If you do this continually with every task you take on, that boundary will continue to widen. This process will ensure that you are continually maximizing your potential, which will positively impact your team.
7-Strong relationships-:Build beneficial relationships with many people. Networking and making friends is the name of the game.
8-Continuous learning-:Know what your skills are and what they are not. Keep adding to it all the time — with both your own development and surrounding yourself with others who complement your talents. Remember to focus on your strengths and set your weaknesses aside.
9-Maintain patience-:The proper timing of your words and acts will give you a big advantage over people who are impatient.Much of real happiness is a matter of being aware of what you’re doing while you’re doing it — and enraged people aren’t typically conscious of their actions.
10-Know lessons learned-:Become recognized as a corporate historian, remembering what’s been done, what’s worked and hasn’t and why, where ALL the bodies are buried, and who was responsible for putting the bodies where they were buried. Avoid relearning old mistakes.
11-Keep an open mind-:Those who close themselves off from certain ideas and associate only with like-minded people are missing out on not only personal growth but also opportunities for advancing their careers.
12-Put creative imagination to work-:Extend your physical ability to accelerate creative problem solving and goal achievement in all areas of your life
13-.Listen much more than you talk-:The most likable people know that it’s not worth offending people by expressing everything they know, even if they are true. Pay close attention to someone speaking to you and show interest.
Using a conversation as an opportunity to lecture someone may feed the ego, but it never attracts people or makes friends.
