Top 10 leadership lessons

Yes, I'm quoting from someone else here, didn't come up with them myself :)

These are Terry Starbucker's top 10 leadership lessons .... I'm in the midst of trying to brush up my knowledge about sales and marketing, but can't help but got excited when I read this. It really syncs with some of my fundamental beliefs!

1. Practice “Full Spectrum” management, where high performers get the recognition they deserve, AND underperformers either get coached or let go.
2. Teach instead of just tell, by using repetition, consistency, plain English, common sense, and best of all, rolling up the sleeves and showing them how it’s done.
3. Be an Enabler, not a Disabler, because if we can’t entrust someone with proper responsibilities commensurate with the job description, we simply shouldn’t hire them.
4. Develop a Zen-like mantra of goals that permeate the minds of all your teammates, and watch great stuff happen.
5. Avoid inertia at all costs - or risk heading in the wrong direction. Provide the needed acceleration to propel a business forward, always.
6. Trust the facts, for if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. As John Adams said, they are indeed “stubborn things”
7. Understand that words alone don’t make the leader- proper presentation, attitude, inflection, cadence and structure are musts to inspire to action.
8. Exhibit a blend of will and humility - we push hard knowing we don’t have all the answers, with a sense of decency, fairness and mindfulness.
9. Know “the secret of work” for their team - the passion, the cause, and the fun that results.
10. Be able to mix it up and do the unexpected, like break out in song at a staff meeting. Put in a memorable hook to go with your message.
