Introduction
Finding Success as a Leader
W hat is leadership all about? The term lead implies a number of concepts. It can mean to guide by holding the hand or to direct and show the way as a guide. To some it means to proceed or to introduce by going first. By leading one may induce, cause, or influence actions by other people. Leading often refers to conduct as a chief commander or to hold first place in a rank. A leader is a person who directs or commands by words or leads personally by their actions.
In boxing , the lead is to strike the first blow. In theater , the lead is the principle or person in the main role. In journalism , a lead is the opening line. In music , the lead is the conductor or the lead tone. In law , a lead refers to the case that determines the law. In cards , to lead is to have the right to play first. In aeronautics , the leading edge is the foremost part of the wing or propeller blade. A leading question is worded specifically to suggest the desired answer, which opens the way for further questions. Basically, the concept of lead is to be first or to be in front.
The Pointman Leadership Institute gives five definitions of leadership.

1. The ability to clearly understand and articulate the goal.
2. The confidence to be out in front and show the way to the goal.
3. The ability to convince people to follow as an act of their free choice.
4. The desire to help people develop and pursue excellence.
5. The ability to inspire people to achieve their full potential.
The goal is number three: the ability to convince people to follow as an act of their own free choice. How is that to be accomplished? The answer is simple. If you do numbers one, two, four, and five, people will follow you as an act of their own free will.
When it comes to leadership success, various authors offer suggestions. Jack Welch says, Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others. Booker T. Washington commented, I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed. A.W. Tozer conveyed a little different thought when he said, God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it.
Napoleon Hill talks about both success and defeat. Before success comes in any man s life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do.
Leadership Success in 10 Minutes a Day is a collection of thoughts about leadership written for both first-time and seasoned leaders. These thoughts can be read in ten minutes or less and then put into practice. The concepts are designed to alert you, encourage you, and challenge you not to quit as a leader. They are to help you be certain that your leadership ladder is leaning against the right wall.
Better to love God and die unknown
than to love the world and be a hero;
Better to be content with poverty
than to die a slave to wealth;
Better to have taken some risks and lost
than to have done nothing and succeeded at it;
Better to have lost some battles
than to have retreated from the war;
Better to have failed when serving God
than to have succeeded when serving the devil.
What a tragedy to climb the ladder of success only to discover
that the ladder was leaning against the wrong wall.
Erwin W. Lutzer

Essential Traits of a Great Leader

Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire teammates and customers.
R OBIN S. S HARMA
T he Board of Directors for the Carmello Corporation was facing a very strategic decision. The CEO and founder George Carmello had a heart attack while on the golf course. He was immediately sent to the hospital but passed away after three days. Everyone was in shock. George was only 56 years old, and no one had thought about any succession plan to replace him in case of an accident or death.
The Board of Directors now faced the issue of choosing a new CEO. They considered the pros and cons of selecting someone from within the corporation or seeking an outsider to lead the company. They leaned toward someone within who was familiar with the operation, feeling that it would take too much time to get a new lead
