A clear, concise, compelling vision is what i told you was most important of the 19.
Here’s what i was saying in the words of Adam Grant, Wharton School of Business…
Success Linked to Helping Others
Grant expands further on CNBC Make It: “The most meaningful way to succeed is to help other people succeed,” says Grant.
If that’s anti-climatic for you, consider the evidence. Having worked with and studied literally thousands of leaders, Grant has observed that great leaders think bigger than themselves — they advance a vision or an idea or a project that’s “going to affect a lot of people,” explains Grant.
“When you do that, and align people toward a common goal, elevating their success also elevates your organization’s success,” says Grant.
“When you track the evidence, it tends to really work because leaders who put other people first, they end up inspiring a different kind of effort, a different level of motivation, and a greater sense of belongingness,” says Grant.
“The ones that I admire the most, who also tend to produce the best results, are the ones who are givers not takers — who say ‘look, it’s not all about me,'” states Grant.

Great Disney leaders are active and visible.
Why?
Because the only time a leader comes around is when .
Fill in the blank.
When there’s something wrong.
You get the picture.
When people see you frequently (and consistently) they start to let their guard down – because conversations go past work and naturally lead to personal – we don’t care how much a person knows until we know how much a person cares.
Not until your team is comfortable with you being around, will they start telling you the truth about what’s going on.
Until then, you’re being handled.
Good luck changing your habits.
It’s only impossible until you figure out what to let go of.
