Become a great leader in 4 steps (AMNY)
Tired of playing second fiddle? Make 2010 the year you become a workplace leader. Executive coach Per Winblad, author of "The Wisdom of Leadership: Timeless Principles for Greater Purpose, Prospserity and Peace of Mind," offered these four tips for becoming a wise leader:
1. Make a choice. The first step for being a wise and inspiring leader with a decision to make a difference, Winblad said. The choice gives you the courage to strive for something higher and better, and to be determined to carry it through.
2. Create a balance. The next step is to create a balance in life among work, family, friends and personal interest. If you only strive for fame and fortune, it will never feel like enough.
3. Listen and learn. Wise leaders learn from what others say and ask questions. There are two good reasons for listening: We can learn from others and people open up to us if we learn.
4. Take time alone. Regularly set aside time for personal reflection. Look back on how you've been leading and look forward to what kind of leader you want to become. This will help you to see the bigger and longer perspective of your life and leadership.
