Leaders don't rest on you past glories. Leaders have a new objective to pursue the moment the old one is complete. You need to have momentum. It keeps you moving forward. It's a matter of energy and the need to keep it high. Things can switch from good to bad when momentum is lost. Momentum keeps your team enthusiastic and in motion.

You are going to need discipline, drive and determination to be a true leader. The price that one pays for mastery is discipline. You won't achieve success without it. Every day you need to devote yourself to the perfection of the path you have chosen to peruse. By doing this you will achieve self mastery. Achieve self mastery and you will have developed the essence of a great leader. Discipline is about developing powerful habits and at one point those habits will become your identity.

It is the discipline that keeps you moving forward. Keep moving forward to provide growth for you and your team in character, in strengths and virtues.

Albeit Einstein said that compound interest was the most powerful force in our society. Discipline and perseverance are a lot like the principle of compound interest - the longer you stay committed to work towards your goals, the more momentum you'll build. Starting out there will be little progress seen, but gradually as you stack one success on another, your momentum will make you a force to be reckoned with.

The opposite result is to decay over time.

Always know - What is your new objective?

Always be a leader.

If you're not sure - Act like a leader and support others like a leader.

"What really makes greatness is white hot action around red hot ideas. A genius idea alone has zero value" - Robin Sharma

Even before the end of your current task you should be asking.

What is my new objective?

This has been the tenth and last article about a special kind of leadership. I call it leadership without a title, because I firmly believe that anyone can be a leader in anything they choose to do. These ten action steps that have been presented allow anyone to step up and lead. These action steps apply to any sized task, the most common tasks that take mere minutes to complete, to ones that can last months. If you apply these steps to everything you do I know you will stand out head and shoulders above 90% of all those around you.

It's strange that when you research the topic of leadership that there is no one clear definition of leadership. Leadership is a very broad concept and there are many different types of leadership. There are a number of words that describe the qualities that many leaders possess and as you follow the ten steps I have given you, I believe that many of these qualities you too can't help but possess. Here are the qualities that many of the world's top leaders possess - accountable, decisive, courageous, assertive, calm, optimistic, confident, compassionate, creative, flexible, integrity, passionate, persistent, patient, action orientated, pro-active, love, focus, understand emotions, great habits, mental toughness, refuse to lose attitude, heart, attitude of ownership, they reinforce core values, vision, influential, humility, responsible, enthusiastic, determined, excellence, imagination, disciplined, knowledge, kindness, listeners, believers, to list just some. No wonder it's so hard to define leadership.

Keep practicing leadership in every little task you perform and many of these qualities will be yours to enjoy.
