LEADERSHIP WHAT IT TAKES P E P P E R R U T L A N D
BE PROACTIVE As someone in charge of inspiring others, you can’t wait for things to happen. You should readily anticipate problems that may come as a result and be fully prepared with solutions to address them. 01
LISTEN WELL Great leadership is as much about listening as it is sharing. You should hear out all suggestions and complaints, and, based on your own wisdom and experience, be able to make a decision that is best for all. 02
STAY FOCUSED Always remain focused on the task at hand as well as the end goal. Others may, but you cannot afford to get sidetracked when it comes to the project and goals for the business. 03
IMAGINE MORE As a leader, you have the opportunity to do more than play by the rules. Great leaders imagine something different altogether. Have the foresight to see what can be, not where you are. 04
KEEP LEARNING Be committed to learning and constant professional development, both within and outside of your area of business. As you do, apply your knowledge, and everyone benefits as a result. 05
