Things to Give Up to Be a More Successful Leader – See our Top 10.
A good leader knows when to sacrifice things for the good of the team. Read on for our top 10.
-
1. Late nights
‘Early to bed early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise’.
-
2. Perfectionism
Becoming overly conscientious creates an internal voice that continually says ‘you are not good enough’.
-
3. Negative company
We become like the people we spend time with, avoid those that bring out the worst in you or sap your energy.
-
4. Lying
Whether we are telling a porker or exaggerating our ability, the truth will disappoint. Instead practice humility.
-
5. Procrastinating
We look to leaders for decisions, so don’t delay, decide today.
-
6. Breaking promises
Manners matter just as much in business as at home. Well-mannered managers stand out.
-
7. Moaning
Few things are perfect but whinging rarely improves a situation. Say nothing, instead do something to make the situation better.
-
8. Making comparisons with others
This will drain your mood and bring you down. What you can’t change, ignore.
-
9. Resisting change
It simply delays the inevitable, instead embrace innovation and use it to drive improvement.
-
10. Flying solo
It can be tough to cajole and motivate others but teams succeed where individuals falter.
