Twelve Ways to Develop Your Inner Game of Leadership
www.GrowthSourceCoaching.com
#1. Value Your AbilitiesDo you believe in the value that your abilities bring to your organization?
• Organization?• Problem Solving?• Get it done attitude?• Ability to influence others?
Are your most valuable abilities supporting your leadership efforts?
www.GrowthSourceCoaching.com
#2. Commit to Greater Results
Strategic Direction vs. Task Completion Do your efforts position someone else for greater success or are you focused solely on getting your own goals accomplished?
Do others focus on things that will move your vision forward?
www.GrowthSourceCoaching.com
#3. Set & Maintain High StandardsBe clear about what you expect and work tirelessly to establish high standards.
Others will strive to do what you expect if they understand what you want and they see that it’s important to you.

#4. Focus on Improvement in Everything You Do
Continuously look for ways to improve your thought processes, your decision making and your ability to work with others.
www.GrowthSourceCoaching.com
#5. Think Strategically
Think about the future implications of your decisions and actions before carrying them out.
If you live in the moment, it will be hard to plan for the future.

#6. Team Results Over Individual AccomplishmentsIs your team focused one what’s good for the company over their own self interests?
Individual accomplishments are important as long as the tasks are in line with the team’s goals.
www.GrowthSourceCoaching.com
#7. Be Collaborative vs. Competitive
Talk issues, challenges and opportunities out with team members before making a decision.
Establishing influence and trust comes from inviting others to the decision making table.
www.GrowthSourceCoaching.com
#8. Respect Everyone
Give respect before expecting it.
It’s more important to be respected than to be liked!
How you treat your team members during periods of conflict is what builds trust and integrity.

#9. Be Adaptive to Change
Recognizing the need for change starts with how you think about change itself.
Be willing to lead the charge for change. How well your team performs in an ever changing workplace environment depends on your willingness to promote and engage change.

#10. Communicate with Integrity
‘How you say’ what you say, has more impact than the message you are trying to convey.
Communicate with authenticity. Your people will respond better when they understand where you are coming from.
www.GrowthSourceCoaching.com
#11. Embrace Conflict
Conflict is only bad when its left to fester. Be ready to mediate situations that can bring people to a higher level of understanding and commitment.
www.GrowthSourceCoaching.com
#12. Encourage Feedback
Getting other to embrace feedback starts with your willingness to receive feedback.
Solicit it, listen to it and thank the person for offering it. Make sure that any part of the feedback you choose to address is visible to the rest of your organization.
