Lessons on Leadership

I have had the pleasure and privilege of meeting and becoming friends with some extraordinary leaders and visionaries. Recently I was at a CEO Leadership Forum at the Penn State Fayette Campus to enjoy a lecture by Mr. Bill Lambert, President and CEO of MSA and I was able to take away the following lessons on Leadership:

#1 BE EXTRAORDINARY
Have passion for everything you do, go above and beyond.. be committed to the task and the result!

#2 HAVE A VISION
Have a vision for what you want to do and who you want to be.

#3 KEEP LEARNING
Keep moving forward, always be improving and growing, never get lazy or complacent.

#4 BE RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE
Leaders take ownership for everything they do, all decisions… NO EXCUSES!

Ask yourselves these questions - "What lessons have I learned that improve my leadership skills?" and "What leadership motto's do I live by?"
