Don'T Lead Yourself Unnecessarily.

You are more likely than any leader to influence their going and staying, their career path, their moral behavior, the extent of their talents, their motivation to serve their customers, their job satisfaction, and their willingness to share organizational vision and values.

When they learn how leaders deal with competition, deal with crises, take failure or solve moral dilemmas, you are the most likely ones to learn.

No one else, it's you!

Once this is realized, people will look at leadership from a different perspective.

Yukari Huguenard is a leader in our long-term research. After reviewing the assumption of leadership, he has changed a lot about leadership: I used to think that leaders are top managers of organizations.

Under the influence of this view, I feel that the great gap between myself and leaders can not be crossed.

Now, I think anyone at any level and any team that leads any scale can be called a leader.

If you can use five practices of leadership, you are also a leader, because the people around you are willing to follow you.

So I feel like I am already a leader.

No matter what position you are, you have to assume the role of leader you assume.

This means that you and everyone should be responsible for your leadership, because you are the most important leader of the people around you.

Your only choice is to become the best leader.

We are all born into this world, but we can decide for ourselves before we leave.

Leadership is a series of visible skills and abilities.

Whether you are in a high position or at a grass-roots level, whether you are in Wall Street in New York or in Financial Street, Beijing, whether you are in the campus, community or in the company, these skills and abilities are very useful.

It is not the lack of leaders' potential that hinders the emergence of more leaders, but the misconception of "leadership failure" hinders the development of leadership.

This misconception is far more hindrance to leadership development than personal nature and leadership.

But we can't think that only a few people can have excellent leadership.

Leaders often set a high goal that can be achieved, and then encourage everyone to work together to achieve this goal.

Effective leaders often maintain the state of learning. They regard all experiences as learning, not just sitting in the classroom.

They often seek ways to improve themselves and their organization.

Even if some people think that you can't get leadership through study, you have to think you can, and they can.

This is the starting point of everything - believing in yourself and believing in others.
