If I asked you to give me five to ten names of highly successful people, who are you likely to name? My guess is CEOs, innovators, professional athletes, educators, and world leaders.

Then if I asked you to describe their common key attributes that led them to their success, my next guess would be that “being fiercely competitive” would pop up as one of the first attributes.  

Let’s face it, being a leader can be tough. Some days it feels like you’re trying to herd cats while juggling flaming torches and somehow doing backflips.

So, amidst all the chaos, let’s explore the one thing you can do as a leader that will help you maintain your leadership:  Consistency! 

When trust and rapport are established, relationships thrive and lead to deeper connections and improved results via employees giving extra discretionary effort.

Being a leader in today’s organizations is not just about managing tasks, achieving goals, and hitting the KPIs; there is an expectation from the people who work for you to have a positive, reciprocating relationship.

Selfless is the opposite of selfish. If you’re selfless, you think less about yourself and more about others; you are generous and kind. Being selfless is like being altruistic – another word for giving to others without personal gain.
