Nora Shariff's Principles of a Great Leader

This post is in continuation of my posts on Gloria Mayfield Bank's Magical Advance. Here are Nora Shariff's words about the Principles of a Great Leader. I only wish you had heard her speak because just reading the list won't be the same.

1. Lead by example
2. Leaders are big thinkers, out of the box thinkers.
3. Use obstacles as stepping stones; destiny is not determined by obstacles but what you do when you approach them.
4. Stay away from the negative.
5. FOLLOW THE GOLDEN RULE - DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WANT OTHERS TO DO UNTO YOU.
6. Have a clearly defined vision and they know where they are going.
7. Can see yourself there before you get there
8. Always sees great potential in others
9. They are clear that it is an US goal, not an I goal. They include others in their vision.
10. Faith is bigger than facts.
11. When they fall down, they always get back up. DON'T QUIT!
12. People will always offend you, but it is your choice to be offended.
13. Don't settle for mediocracies.
14. They have a great attitude, love life, and see the good in every situation.
15. They are risk takers. They want the best life has to offer.
16. They are constantly looking for and realizing the importance of the right people.
17. Set Big Hairy Audacious goals.
18. Have a huge passion for goal and they role others into it.
19. Never settle
20. Leaders are ordinary people producing extraordinary results.
21. They understand the rules to the game.
22. They never blame others for their failures.
23. Always have the tools they need to win the game.
24. Losing is not an option. The goal is bigger than just you. If you lose, think of the others that will lose as well.
25. Leaders rise to the challenge.
26. A made up mind can do anything.
27. They are great at painting the picture.
28. They invest in themselves, never miss anything. If you don't show up, you'll never know what you've missed.
29. Realize your weaknesses and improve yourself.
30. DON'T allow low expectations. Great expectations = great faith!
