What leaders (should) DO: have the perfect attitude
Have you ever wondered what the perfect attitude for a leader is? Not just a top dog leader, but for any person who aspires to lead and, for that matter, every person who lives and breaths.
I recognize it when I see it, know when I’m doing it, and can explain it when I’m coaching, but I’ve never seen it so perfectly boiled down to ten short words—all self-explanatory, nothing to look-up or study or requiring training.
I found them in my friend’s post yesterday, here they are
Like 3 year olds, be passionate, humble, impatient, grateful…daily.
Do it and change your life—and your world—guaranteed!

I came over to your blog from Phil G’s recommendation at Slacker Manager – and I LOVE the idea that leaders should be “passionate, humble, impatient, grateful…daily!”

Thanks! It’s definitely an attitude to cultivate. Wouldn’t you love to live in a world where it was the norm.
Absolutely…and the leaders I know who do have that attitude are both successful and wonderful folks.
I do like that! Is the most important word ‘daily’?
