There are so many qualities of a leader, I am
finding it difficult to choose.
I spent some time with my team members talking
about using the slight edge philosophy every day
to build their business. As they do the task over
and over again, they will develop the confidence
needed.
Then it dawned on me... as they develop confidence,
they develop competence.
Competence is defines as a standardized requirement
to perform a particular job. It encompasses a combination of
skill, knowledge, and behavior utilized to improve performance,
having the ability to perform a specific role.
So does that mean that competence is an outcome with a
clearly defined set of standards that can be mastered at a
given time in a person's life?
John C. Maxwell in his book,
"The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader" tells us we
don't have to be Michael Jordan, Bill Gates or
Benjamin Franklin to excel in the area of competence.
Then he tells us how to cultivate competence, which is:
1. Show up every day
2. Keep improving
3. Follow through with excellence
4. Accomplish more than expected
5. Inspire others
The competent leaders study and develops their competence,
practice their skills and passes it along to their team members.
After all, Network Marketing is about developing leaders where
you want to work yourself out of a job.
Where do you stand in those areas? There are definitely some
of the 5 listed I could improve on. This will be a great discussion
to continue with next time. Did I miss something? Comments
and suggestions are welcomed.
