Ander Barillas On Leadership Traits (Part Two- concluding)

"Ia’Orana consultants,

Last week I sent out an e-mail listing four of the seven Leadership Traits in MLM. This week I am sending you the remaining three.

5. POSITIVE ATTITUDE
Positive thinking is the quality of being happy in your work.
It comes from being deeply absorbed in what you are doing that you literally do not have time to think discouraging thoughts.

6. COMPASSION
Compassion is not an emotion or a state of mind, it is an action.
A leader wins the loyalty of his/her group by demonstrating, through actions, that he/she is looking out for their interests.
He/she does this by providing their group with the tools they need to succeed; by praising people for their successes; and by pushing people only as hard as they are willing to push themselves.
In return for these considerations, people will give you loyalty.
They will work harder for a benevolent leader than they ever would for a despot.


7. VISION

Vision is the ability to imagine a better future.
It means setting goals and working steadily to achieve them.
A leader never forgets his goals. He reminds himself of those goals everyday.
At the same time, he also keeps a careful eye on reality. An effective leader always knows exactly how wide the gap is between his vision and his present reality.
Ordinary people get discouraged when they contemplate the gap, but a leader is energized by it."

This information and that from last week were taken from the book “The Wave 4 Way to building your downline” by Richard Poe.
