The First Sign of Great Leadership

Posted on by

A great leader can make decisions quickly. Better than most, he or she can efficiently break a complicated problem down into its component parts and take action. Without hesitation. Without fear of being wrong.

Do not be afraid of being wrong. While leaders can only build great things with higher batting averages, it takes practice to hit the ball. With enough experience and mistakes, you should have better chances at making good choices. Over time, two wrongs can make a right.

Opportunities for decision making start small. If you cannot decide where your indecisive group of friends should dine together, then you probably cannot make important product, market, or life decisions.

No Regrets

You made the choice and took action. There’s no turning back. You are where you are now because of it. What’s the point of dreaming back to that decision and wondering how your life could have panned out differently? You cannot wish your life back, so do not waste your time. You can only take a new action and move forward. It if means recreating that choice again and choosing the other road, great. But that opportunity rarely arises again, so you may very well be stuck on this path.

Dare not reflect on your past, unless it helps you discover a positive life lesson or take pride in the path you chose. Embrace every choice you made in life; those choices define you today. Regrets are a waste of time and a damper on your soul. You cannot undo what has already been done. But don’t forget: you can always make a new choice.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Change

Simple. I accepted that change is inherent and inevitable.

Things will always evolve around us, without our control. You can either go with the flow or fight it. If you want things to stay the same, you will have to adapt – change your tactics to put up a better fight. Go with the flow or adapt. Either way, you change.

Accept change and you may even learn to embrace it. Stop worrying and love change.
