241. The 6 leadership Traits


Listen Later

The Two branches of Trait Alignment

In each of us we carry 6 primary traits that when exhibited determine what we say, do and cause in the world around us. The 6 traits are separated into two branches that further align our thoughts and actions.

Your ability to know which trait is needed for various times and conditions in life will pre-determine the outcome and your ability to place the right trait into the right position in your family, you work, or on a team will also pre-determine the outcome you desire.

Not knowing the traits will cause you to faulter; cause business to die, and cause family to fall apart.
