What gets business results? Is it innovative products? Is it great customer service? Is it experience? Is it perspective?

Of course, all of the above ingredients go into a winning business recipe. But, they’re not the main ingredient. What is? Here’s a hint... look at the first part of this web address!
<h3>Lead.</h3>
Leadership is ingredient #1. It’s what gets results, period. Think about it... innovative products, great customer service, experience, perspective, and more all come from solid leadership at all levels.

All levels. From the Cleaning Crew to the Individual Employee to the VP Team to the CEO... leadership is the small edge that gets large results. You do want large results in your business, right?

So, if your company is struggling (or just humming along in mediocrity), you have a leadership challenge to win.

And, even if your company is enjoying success today (or already #1 in category)... you also have a leadership challenge to take on. (because without a leadership pipeline in place, complacency can creep in undetected and steal your margins and market... just ask Circuit City)

What is the challenge? Making leadership a priority! But, how do you do that? Here are 3 easy (and affordable) ideas:
<h3>1.  Decide:</h3>
As an enterprise owner or executive, you know that to make it in business you have to make decisions. When you decide that leadership is no longer a popular management mantra but rather a key differentiator in your organization’s future, rallying your troops behind you will be easy. (because they will see, hear, and believe your conviction on the importance of leadership to their futures)
<h3>2.  Communicate:</h3>
After deciding leadership matters to your organization, it’s time to tell the teams. Do it in person, in writing, and on video (post your video on the intra-company website). Do it often.
<h3>3.  Train:</h3>
Now everyone is aligned. It’s time to teach them how to lead. I’m sorry to say, but most of us don’t know how to lead. I didn’t. And I’m still learning (that’s one of my driving initiatives behind this site; to learn leadership). Your people are hungry for this opportunity. Why? Because leading better at work means they’ll lead better in other areas of their life: personally, financially, and spiritually. They have a vested interest in this leadership thing!

In my own quest to lead better (and get better results) I’ve studied an icon in this field: Daniel Goleman. I first learned about him in an interview with Jack and Suzy Welch (Jack Welch ran GE). Since then, I’ve become a student of his findings. I mention him here for one reason:
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Daniel Goleman’s work can get your organization better results, period.</h3>
No matter if your one, one hundred, or one hundred thousand people strong, it’s time to integrate Goleman’s work into yours.. Below are my favorite Goleman titles. If you decide to make leadership a priority in your enterprise, the books below will make it easy! <em>(disclosure: the below links are amazon affiliate links - in other words, if you buy a book using the links below, I make a few bucks).</em>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a title="Emotional Intelligence" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/055380491X/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thhbac-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=055380491X" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Emotional Intelligence</a> (book)</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a title="What Makes a Leader" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002YX0IPI/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thhbac-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002YX0IPI" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">What Makes a Leader</a> (cd)</h3>
Having personally observed failures from lacking leadership, and super successes from limitless leadership, I can confidently conclude having it on your side gets results. Decide today to make leadership the #1 priority in your organization. Communicate it to your company’s people. And, train them on how to lead (become better leaders).

If you’re making leadership a priority in your organization, tell me how in the comments below. If you still think leadership is just the current calling from the academic world, I’d like to hear that, too! Go ahead and leave your feedback below. I’ll personally reply!
