THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP
CHAPTER FOUR PRINCIPLES
1. True leadership is not a method, a technique, or a science but an attitude.
2. Having the spirit of leadership means that you understand and demonstrate the mind-set of a leader.
3. You have to choose to fulfill your leadership nature.
4. Manifesting the spirit of leadership is a matter of discovering and nurturing your true self so that you naturally evidence your leadership nature.
5. You cannot rise above the plane of your mental conditioning. To change your life, you must change your mind.
6. There is nothing more important than the source of our thoughts.
7. When your philosophy, beliefs, thoughts, and convictions are based on the way you were created to think, you will naturally rule over your environment and fulfill your life’s purpose.
8. Our attitude toward life is largely a result of our self-concept or the picture we have of ourselves.
9. We are meant to see ourselves as being made in the image and likeness of our Creator and as having his nature.
10. Our thoughts and feelings about ourselves are determined by our self-worth. Since the Creator made us in his image and likeness, our value is a reflection of his value.
11. We can’t lead if we depend on others to give us value, but only if we recognize our own inherent worth and what we have been given to offer others.
12. True leadership gives people a cause, a reason for living, and a sense of significance that gives meaning to their lives so that they feel necessary and purposeful. It gives them an outlet for expressing their own gifting.
13. In order to manifest the spirit of leadership, we have to acknowledge how our attitudes toward ourselves impact our relationships with others.
14. Self-esteem is your estimation of your value to the world. It is how you regard yourself in terms of your contribution and usefulness to others.
15. True leaders believe that they are needed by their generation and the world.
16. The greatest discovery in human experience is self-discovery.
17. Your leadership attitude—or spirit of leadership—will come alive when you discover and start living according to your true nature.
18. The best way to discover yourself is to discover God. When a person gets to know his Creator, and finally comes to know himself, then his leadership is born.
19. You don’t really believe something until it gets into your heart or subconscious mind.
20. The most important pursuit in life is the pursuit of truth.
21. What you believe is essential to your life because you live out of your heart; you see through your heart; you interpret through your heart; you judge through your heart.
22. Developing the spirit of leadership means correcting what you have heard because much of what you have previously heard and accepted as truth has negatively influenced your image of yourself, your beliefs about your worth, and how you have lived your life.
23. Your subconscious attitude affects your altitude: The height to which your heart aspires depends on the information that is in it.
24. No one can live beyond the limits of his beliefs. Your life is what you think it should be.
25. The beliefs and convictions of a leader regulate the nature of his leadership.
