What All Leaders Must Do

Without becoming a leader, you have little chance of building a big organization. I know that sounds scary for some people. It did for me. It's really not that hard. It's a lot like being a coach, a cheerleader, a parent....

Here's what my leadership style has morphed into these past three years. Those who will be leaders will incorporate much of this:

1. Have group email addresses for BCs, PCs, and prospects.

2. Recognize and congratulate all Rank Advancements and Top25.

3. Share what you are learning, studying...listening to in the car.

4. Share success stories - business and product.

5. Promote, promote, promote. All leaders promote the next event, contest, opportunity.

6. Check in with your leaders via weekly phone calls. Encourage them. Hold them accountable.

7. Lead by example -- attend events, Convention, listen to CDs while driving, LifeMasters CDs, prospecting, reading good books (all leaders are readers).

8. Teach about prospecting tools - Media Center, pdfs, CDs, webcasts.

9. When you're down go "up;" when you're up go "down." That means when you get discouraged, always call your upline. When you're excited and enthusiastic about something, share it with your downline.

10. Promote good training tools: eApprentice, BDS, Tim Sales CDs, To Gold & Beyond CDs, Lynn Allen Johnson's books and CD, Jim Rohn book and CDs, Robert Kiyosaki books (Rich Dad Poor Dad, Cash Flow Quadrant, The Business School for People who like Helping People), Paul Zane Pilzer books and articles. Loan these out if your downline can't afford to buy them initially. I always put a time deadling "I need this back in two weeks." Once they're making money, they can invest in their own.

11. Get your downline together for training and socializing. Have some fun. Build relationships. If people arent' having fun, they won't stay.

Everyone must: Learn, have fun, and experience success. All three are necessary.


To your success,

Steve

  1. Thanks for the coaching insights Steve! I agree with #9 and would add the caveat of empathy. Empathize with your downline when they're struggling. Share your war stories. Wrestle with them and then encourage them with your stories of how you handled the bumps in the road.
