The Ancient Secret of True Leaders Skills

There’s one simple thing about all of us, that is reflected in great leaders skills. It is something, you may be surprised to learn. Regardless of the size of your team, they need for you to know this. Read on to discover it.

Back in the Paleolithic era, homo sapiens quickly learned, the only way to survive danger was by working together. That need for safety, is still prevalent today and is the best kept secret in a true Leaders Skills.

Leaders Skills start with “us”

Since pre-historic times, humans were designed to work together; that’s what we do. We can be really good at looking after others when conditions are right for it. Looking out for each other becomes a sense of ‘us’, and trust is forged from that. Indeed, the root word of trust is us.

People feel safe, when they know the person to their left, and the person to their right – would protect them . In business and in life, we face ‘danger’ every day. Feeling safe, we become empowered to make remarkable things happen. True Leaders, know this and work to promote it throughout their team.

Top leaders know that promoting the top 10 percent and ignoring the bottom 25 percent will only destroy their organization. This is because no one feels safe in that kind of environment – there is no sense of ‘us’.

When becoming a leader, The First step in developing a leaders skills is to create a feeling of ‘us’. You must prove in your actions that you serve us, which we respond to by being happy to serve you. In this way you create trust; you create a sacred circle of safely.

Unfortunately, most corporate CEO’s fail miserably at creating the proper circle of safety. They all say that they care, right? But their actions often prove otherwise. For all their credentials, they lack the most crucial trait, in leaders skills.

Often, a CEO puts the circle of safety around senior executives, and no one else. You see this when the board gives their CEO a raise, at the same time that they go about laying off thousands of employees, except for the top level executives who are protected in the circle of safety.

An extraordinary leader will extend the circle of safety to the outer edges of the company, even out to loyal customers. They are willing to do without, so that their people are safe. When leaders put the welfare of their people first, their people are willing to do anything to see that their leader’s visions are advanced.

So you see, Leaders go first. They take pay cuts first, before anyone else. They are the first to take action, on whatever they are asking their people to do.

Great Leaders Skills inspire action

If you’re a new home business owner, looking to build a team to lead, how do you start building that team? It begins with your “why”. People don’t buy what you do, they buy why, you do it. Why you do something, is your Belief. When you find people who believe like you do, you inspire them to action.
