Leadership Actions

Few days back I was reading a book "Leadership is dead" by Pat Lencioni . The thing which I understood from that book is that leaders have personality which automatically influence others. Leaders have some fixed rules or actions which lead to a successful life. Leaders do things in some different ways that is by acting upon these rules and actions.There are seven leadership actions that are important for leaders seeking to exert influence in the lives of others. These seven actions are as follows:

1. Give trust to become trustworthy
2. Become credible, not just smart
3. Be intentional in your influence
4. Break through your walls of self-preservation
5. Pursue relationship before opportunity
6. Give yourself away
7. Become significant in your impact.

 These seven action lead to influence and to have influence, is to have power. You cannot talk about leadership as influence without touching on the use of power.
