About a week or so ago, I signed for an online success course to get some addtional training, that I can use to help better lead the growing team in my candle business.
Yesterday, as part of the 15-day online boot camp, I received this list in my email box:
10 Laws of Leadership:
1. The Leader must have a dream larger than those he/she leads.
2. The Leader must have an attitude superior to those he/she leads.
3. The Leader is responsible and admits when he/she has made a mistake.
4. The Leader is a decision maker.
5. The Leader puts those he/she leads first.
6. The Leader sets the example by being in the front of the pack.
7. The Leader displays a commitment to integrity and character.
8. The Leader strives for excellence in all things.
9. The Leader displays a commitment to personal growth.
10. The Leader has the highest level of persistence and determination.
The action item to go along with this list, was to write it down on a piece of paper, and rate myself on a scale of 1 to 10 in each area. Then over the coming weeks and months, I’ll periodically re-evaluate myself, and update the ratings. My goal is to honestly become a “10″ in each area.
I thought any leaders, or budding leaders, who might be reading this, might also want to do this exercise themselves.
Hope it helps …

Very interesting, Todd. Looking forward to seeing how you rate yourself!
Hey Chief,
I know this an old post, but I’m glad it came back up … I think this is good stuff for all of us to evaluate from time to time. As for how I rate myself …
Not quite 10s yet, so still have some work to do.

Wow! You simply hit what I’m looking for. This stuff will surely help to evaluate myself. Please accept my appreciation & best regard.
