MOMENTUM IS A LEADER’S BEST FRIEND

Momentum is the great exaggerator

Momentum makes the leader look better than they are

• Once a leader creates success, & develops career momentum, then people give him more credit than he deserves

What gives me the greatest return

Law #18 The Law of Sacrifice

When you become a leader, you lose the right to think about yourself The Heart of Leadership is Sacrifice It’s doing what is best for the team

A leader must give up to go up

 

Living the Law

THE COST OF LEADERSHIP As you rise in leadership, responsibilities increase & rights decrease

There is no success without sacrifice

Leaders are often asked to give up more than others

You must keep giving up to stay up

• Successful leader must maintain an attitude of sacrifice to turn around their team

The higher the level of leadership, the greater the sacrifice

If you are enjoying success today – someone has gone before you & paid the price
