Principles of Leadership

Yesterday I attended a seminar at work during my lunch hour. The speaker, Doug Wood, spoke on the priciples of effective leadership. I took several pages of notes, so I figured I would share a few of them with you. Here are what Mr. Wood considers to be the "10 Principles of Leadership."

1. Be a leader, not a victim


2. Beware of your blindspots (know what you don't know)


3. Take care of the important relationships


4. Balance short-term and long-term needs


5. Know and live your mission (write it down)


6. Do what matters most, now


7. Be a master communicator


8. Be a great team player


9. Commit 1 hour a day to personal renewal


10. Live with integrity
