Modeling the wayLeaders must model the way for others. In order to model, leaders should have a clear sense of their own values and their own direction in life. Leaders then must be able to communicate these values, taking into account personality types, communication styles, and generational differences, and set an example. Verbalizing your values and then following through with actions consistent with those values increases your integrity and gives others confidence in you. Iinspiring a visionSincere passion for your vision, the ability to effectively communicate it, and the skill to have others relate to it are essential leadership skills. Anyone making decisions for your team must be able to make choices based on how they fit into the shared vision and mission. Input from those affected by the vision is also necessary for success. Challenging the processOpportunities can be created through hard work, come as a result of success or failure, or be discovered by scanning the immediate and distant environments. You must stay flexible and gauge opportunities to improve the squad within the range of your vision, even if it requires reexamining your vision. Challenging the decision-making process within your community is key to change and growth. Support for professional development will bring new ideas to the community. The authority for everyone to act on and nurture opportunities is also important to challenging the process. Enabling others to actThrough your everyday example, appropriate transparency, accessibility, and definable long-term growth and goals, those around you must trust that you make good decisions in the interest of the team. In turn, you must trust that those around you also make good decisions. Respect is a result of trust, and collaboration easily follows respect. Weathering problems and surprises is made easier by fostering mutual trust and respect in the community. Continually recognizing and rewarding the hard work and dedication of everyone, in the way they prefer, is necessary to keep a healthy enviroment.Encouraging the heartCelebrate values and victories by creating a sense of community, but don’t forget to do it your own way and be creative, sincere, and authentic. It is important to also show appreciation for both individual excellence and group success.</blockquote>
