Ledership Gold L5-9

So, who would you rather be? Brett Favre, Peyton Manning or T.O.?

Lesson 5-10:

5: never work a day in your life

6: the best leaders are listeners

7: get in your zone and stay there

8: first, define reality

9: to see how the leader is doing, look at the people

10: dont send your ducks to eagle school

Bottom line - are you generally lifting others up or tearing them down. Are the problems mostly someone elses fault or are you taking responsibility as a good quarterback like farve and manning verses the t.o. approach. Nothing against t.o. - he's a great ball player but as far as leading your family, your friends and your professional collegues we should take heart to be more like a Manning leader.

Did you journal today? Why not? Chickens!

See you Friday.

Lesson 3: Defining Moments define your leadership.

What have been your defining moments? Are you in one now? What are you doing about it?

DID ANYONE JOURNAL THIS WEEK?

Have you learned anything this week that demands that you pause and redirect, try it again or simply just be thankful for the lesson?

Lesson 4: When you get kicked in the rear, you know you're out front.

Its amazing how much we all - be honest - we all dislike advice and criticism. We love giving it but taking it is another story. Chances are, you give more than you actually receive. This is one issue where giving isn't necessarily better than receiving. One of my favorite quotes of all time by Ken Blanchard: "Some people are like sea gulls. When something goes wrong, they fly in, make a lot of noise and crap all over everything."

Are you a sea gull?

We also have some amazing companies in our group from the entrepreneur to Pfizer, KB Home, Architects and more. This is brewing up to be one heck of a conversation. So, here we go:

John's Recommendation reminder: Don't just sit through these meetings. Highlight and put a letter beside each one as either:
a. Lesson that you want to learn-apply to your life.
c. Lesson that you need to change-ones that you have been applying wrong.
t. Lesson that you want to pass on to someone else.

Modeling is the best leadership trait - by example!

Lesson 1: If its lonely at the top, you're not doing something right.
Lonliness is not a position issue; its a personality issue.

Lesson 2: The toughest person to lead is always yourself.
only a leader who has followed well knows how to lead others well.

See you all on Friday. Bring a friend-no charge.
