Spirit of Leadership

THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP

C HAPTER P RINCIPLES 1. No matter how long you have been “petrified” by your emotions, the circumstances of life, or others’ opinions, your innate leadership potential is still within you. 2. God’s words are designed to transfer truth and ideas that will renew our thought lives and thus transform the spirit of our minds, our attitudes. 3. Our mental conditioning determines our success or fail ure. 4. When the attitude of leadership is married to the ability of leadership, then you are a true leader. 5. Leaders manifest certain attributes, and they work hard to attain a certain aptitude (they continually desire to learn more about themselves, life, and God), and this causes them to think at a higher level, or altitude. 6. The day that we take responsibility for our attitudes is the day that we truly grow up. 7. We must acquire the spirit of leadership by discovering and applying the attitudes of true leaders. We must think, talk, walk, dress, act, respond, decide, plan, work, relate, and live like leaders. 8. Leadership is 20 percent talent, skill, and technical knowl edge and 80 percent attitude. 9. Cultivating the spirit of leadership is a choice, and only you can make it. 10. How you define yourself is the single most important statement you can make about yourself, and it is the heart of attitude. The spirit of leadership will emerge from your self-definition.
