3. BE WILLING TO DO WHAT OTHERS WON’T
A group once wrote to Missionary David Livinstone asking, “have you found a good road to get to where you are?
If so, we want to know how to send other men to join you.
Livingston replied, “If you have men who will come only if they know there is a good road, I don’t wan them.
I want men who will come even if there is no road at all.”
That’s what top leaders want from the people working for them.
They want individuals who are willing to do what others won’t.
“Few Things ain the Appreciation of a top leader more quickly than an employee with a whatever-it-takes attitude.”
360 Degree Leaders must learn to think outside their job description and do whatever it takes.
Maybe you are already a whatever it takes kind of person - great.
Now all you need to do is to learn how to direct that attitude into action so that you’re doing things that have impact and create influence withe others.
Here are Top 10 things Maxwell Suggests.
1. TAKE ON THE TOUGH JOBS
Problem solving is one of the quickest ways to gain leadership.
Problems will always arise and most people don’t want to handle them, but when you take them on, you gain leadership.
Problem solving skills will always be needed.
“You Learn Resiliency and Tenacity during tough assignments, not easy ones.
When tough choices have to be made and results are difficult to achieve, leaders are forged.”
2. Pay Your Dues.
Sam Nunn,
“You have to pay the price.
You will find that everything in life exacts a price, and you will have to decide whether the price is worth the prize.”
To Be a leader, you will have to give up other opportunities and activities in order to lead and develop leadership.
You will have to sacrifice some personal goals for the sake of others.
You will have to get out of your comfort Zone.
You will have to continue learning and growing even when you do not feel like it.
You will repeatedly have to put others ahead of yourself.
George Halas
“No One who ever gave their best ever regretted it.”
3. Work Hard Even When No One Notices You.
When you pay your dues even when no one sees you, it takes care of the ego problem many face.
Moses - After killing an Egyptian at age 40, he hid out in the wilderness for 40 years where God used him as a shepherd.
After 4 decades in obscurity, he was called into leadership.
The Bible says that he was the most humble man alive.
“If you do what you can with what you have, where you are, then God won’t leave you where you are and will increase what you have.”
4. LEARN TO GET ALONG WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE
People working at the top of an organization don’t have to work with difficult people because they can move them or eliminate them.
People in the middle, usually have no choice in the matter and have to learn to work with difficult people.
Why?
Because it benefits the organization.
Instead of putting the difficult person in their place, they try to put themselves in their place.
They work at finding common ground.
5. BE A RISK TAKER
This is a great way to rise above your coworkers.
You take risks, but you never risk the organization or the organizations money or others you work with.
You put yourself on the line.
6. ADMIT FAULTS, BUT NEVER MAKE EXCUSES
“It’s easier to move from failure to success than from excuses to success.”
The higher you go, the less they except excuses.
If you fall short in an area, you can work on it.
If it’s something you consistently struggle with you may want to collaborate with others on it, but never make excuses.
7. DO MORE THAN IS EXPECTED OF YOU
Expectations are high for people at the top, but low for people at the bottom.
Expectations are mixed for those in the middle.
Chris Hodges - showed up to watch Larry Stockstill’s for show.
Ended up being on it for 2 years because he did more than was expected.
It changed his life.
8. BE THE FIRST TO STEP UP AND HELP
The person who is the first to step up and help makes the leader feel like people are with him… it makes him fell great.
The first to step us is given the 10 treatment and it goes down from there.
Whether you are helping your boss or a team member, you help the team.
It will be appreciated.
9. PERFORM TASKS THAT ARE NOT IN YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION.
Very few things anger a leader than having someone refuse to do a job saying, “it’s not his job.”
Most bosses are tempted to invite people who say that to be without a job altogether.
THE GOAL IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE ROLE
Your job as a leader is to get the job done.
10.
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES.
ILL - Dad telling a boy about Job… Boy asks why didn’t he sue someone?
Isn’t that the way a lot of people think?
Most people’s knee jerk reaction is to blame others for their mess ups.
Leader take responsibility.
They take hold of their responsibilities and get the job done.
Gideon took on he very difficult task of fighting the Midianites.
Even though he had serious doubts about his qualifications to lead, he was willing to take on the tough task.
He followed the steps to victory.
He was willing to assume responsibility.
He anticipated positive results
He was willing to be a risk taker
4. Lead Up Principle #4 DO MORE THAN MANAGE - LEAD
Managers work with processes.
Leaders work with people.
Both are necessary to make an organization run smoothly, but they have different functions.
Leaders lead the people who manage the processes.
People do the work and manage the processes.
People can be managed, but they would rather be led.
Good leaders will be good managers, but good managers are not necessarily good leaders.
Leadership is
People more than projects
Movement more than maintenance
Art more than science
Intuition more than Formula
Vision more than procedure
Risk more than caution
Action more than reaction
Who you are more than what you do.
If you want to influence others, then you must learn to lead.
MOVING BEYOND MANAGEMENT
To be a leader, you must move beyond management, so How do you do that?
