Personal leadership has four world class, basic components. In addition to having fun at yesterday’s brutally hot track meet, i spent time at the beginning and end of the day preparing for Thursday’s (second) post-Disney speaking engagement.

The four world-class leadership basics are:

  1. Vision
  2. Involvement
  3. Accountability
  4. Commitment

Paint a clear, concise and compelling vision of the future. Get people involved by training and developing them. Hold them accountable for excellent results. And commit to being inspired and inspiring all day, everyday.

Top three 2015 Windermere 5k finishers. The guy in glasses is Windermere’s Mayor.

 

Left to right, first place, Mayor Gary, second, and third.

First and second were one second apart.

The third place finisher, Andrew, got beat last year by this year’s 50-59 winner.

After 1,100 seconds, imagine losing the coveted, overall winner spot by only one.

And then imagine an extraordinary, nearly three minute improvement from your time the previous year – that’s what Andrew accomplished.

Or take the 55-year old, running a time faster than he had set as a goal, and faster than when he was 10 years younger.

Leadership covets results.

It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

Running and blogging have similarities.

You need to practice to be good.

You need to set goals.

You need to continuously learn, if you want to get better.

You need to approach it from many angles to be really proficient.

You need to seek out the best, most effective methods to get the best results.

You need to have fun.

You need to rest.
