Tuesdays with Michael: Four Essential Elements to Success in Personal Leadership

By

By Michael Gidlewski

There are four elements that are essential to achieving success with the Personal Leadership Mastery Program.

Attitude Development

In order to create an environment of positive attitudes and possibility thinking, it is important for a leader to understand where and how attitudes are formed and how those attitudes can be developed. Your attitudes affect everything in your lives.

  • Mentally economic way of proceeding through life
  • Eliminate waste in action
  • Attitudes, mental, and emotional habits
  • Fears are artificially created illusions
  • Build an attitude of self-confidence; build your confidence and your fears will disappear

Interpersonal Skills

Much of what a leader is involved in, and therefore accomplishes, involves other people. To be effective in this continuous challenge, it is important to learn, understand, and use interpersonal skills effectively.

Goal-Setting

Leadership, among other things, is the process of providing organizational direction and accomplishing necessary objectives. The goal accomplishment model provides the tools and process necessary to achieve more goals, more often, in order to maximize results and outcomes.

Your Commitment and Engagement

Coaching takes real work on your part, over a period of time. You can’t do the work for you – you work with you, but you have to be willing to invest your own time in the process and do the work assigned in order to see results.

The world steps aside for people who have a clear idea of where they are going and how they plan to get there. People who accept personal responsibility and take ownership for their lives and their own success create an atmosphere of positive expectancy for their lives. They create the life they want to live and live it.

Paul J. Meyer, the founder of Leadership Management International, said, “If you are not now making the progress you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.”

Success, whatever your personalized concept of that word may be, comes only after clear definition of your objectives and a setting of resolute goals to reach them.  Your “Plan of Action” helps you to sort out the maze of a thousand disconnected thoughts about who you are, what you want, and who you can become. Goals are the way that you travel your way into the future that you want to create.

Goal-setting is undoubtedly the most important ingredient in both self-motivation and leadership achievement. It always has been and always will be. A fulfilling life – personally and professionally – is a balance between short-term satisfaction and long-term benefit.
