1)\u00a0Seeing Beyond Yourself<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0– People who fail to \u201csee beyond themselves\u201d are usually selfish, insecure, or both. They\u2019re hyper-focused on personal advancement, persuaded the world owes them a living, and convinced that they are indispensable to the fortunes of their team. They stand in sharp contrast to leaders who seek to understand the diverse perspectives of others, see the needs of people around them, and realize that success means sowing seeds that benefit others.<\/p>\n 2)\u00a0Growing Beyond Yourself<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0– Growing beyond your present capacities starts by discovering your purpose, clarifying your priorities, and getting passionate about life. It continues by learning from others who can do more than you can do.<\/p>\n 3)\u00a0Giving Beyond Yourself<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0– Our leadership takes off when, instead of recruiting people to our cause, we invest ourselves in their development. We have to give to others before we can expect to reap their support.<\/p>\n 4)\u00a0Gathering Beyond Yourself<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0– Leaders don\u2019t necessarily gather the people they want; they attract the people most like themselves. To surround yourself with great people, you need to work at becoming a great person. Self-development precedes team formation.<\/p>\n
