The Leadership Minute #35
Character Traits of a Leader: Maturity
You reach a level that you are recognized as being mature. You are no longer a kid. You are no longer a child. You are no longer one of the guys.
You are an adult now. You are a leader. You behave like a leader. You have to think like a leader You are supposed to act like a leader, you are supposed to be a leader. That's what those that follow you look for. That's why they come to you.
Why?
They want you to take them places. They want you to make things happen. They expect it.
As a leader, your days of being one of the guys are over. Your days of "chillin'" and "hanging out" are over. Well, to some degree.
You cannot do it all the time and, most of all, you can't do it with your buddies. Who gets the good details (assignments) and who gets the bad details you cannot delegate the good to your buddies. You just cannot do that any more. You cannot play favorites. Those days are gone!
As the leader, you are expected to be fair, impartial, and dish out some justice when you have to. You have to do that 100% of the time.
Thank you,
