Have you ever wondered what makes some people great leaders? Why are others excited with their performance and willing to follow them? What are their qualities in comparison to others? Read the following specific factors affecting a leader’s character as described by the American speaker and consultant Brian Tracy on his blog.

Three values of successful leaders: High expectations, self-discipline and personal power

Leadership comes more from who you are inside than who you are outside. Successful men and women have always put their own expectations and values very high. Similarly, they also set their expectations towards others.

Another advantage is their ability of self-discipline. Capable people have a high degree of discipline and are able to tackle situations and problems with a cool head. Their working process is well-organized and has clearly defined priorities and goals. Additionally, they see things quite realistic and are honest both to themselves and to others.

The mentioned personal qualities of natural leaders attract support and recognition from others who will follow. People with such a charisma possess indomitable willpower and ability to keep on track in the way of achieving success. The more difficult it is, the more they focus on important tasks and the more they are committed to meet the stated objective. This is called personal power which deserves the respect of others.

What are the implications for you if you want to move forward on the path to become a better leader? Clarify your priorities clearly and without compromise and stand behind them. Learn self-discipline. When you say that you do something, do it now because you will not return to do it afterwards.

What are your personal qualities that you appreciate ?
