We can all be leaders in life. You don't even have to have a job to be a leader or be louder than everyone else. Many people lead by example without saying anything. And I want to give you 7 tips on how to be the BEST leader you can.

Show Notes:
I believe everyone can be a leader in their lives. I truly believe this. You don’t have to have a management-level job or be someone super important to an organization or even own a business to be a leader. I believe we are all role models in life. I know a lot of people disagree with me on this & don’t accept it, which is fine. But it is true because someone is always watching you. And yes, we are all our own person & make our own decisions of who to look up to & emulate and that is our responsibility. But I think it’s a nice way to remind yourself to be kind & want to set a good example for others that look up to you, which can feel good.

Being a great leader is more than just having the capacity to tell people what to do, be confident constantly & make all the decisions. Being a great leader means you value things differently, your level of respect is considerate & knowing that everything you do isn’t all about you.

I wanted to include both being a leader at work & at home because we can be one at both at the same time. Or maybe you don’t work & you manage the home, I want you to know that is just as important. And just in case this is an issue for some people, I know that it is biblical that men are traditionally the head of the household, which is something I believe, too. And whether you believe that or not, or even if your spouse is the main money maker in the household, this doesn’t mean you can’t still be a leader. You & your spouse can be leaders together. It’s not a contest. A lot of the strongest relationships are made up of those that work together in unison. 

So when I go through my tips on how to become a great leader, these tips can be applied to both your work life & your home life. And I will dive into how that applies both ways when we go through the tips. 

And just know, if you feel like you lack confidence, that doesn’t mean you can’t be a leader. I totally lack confidence a lot of the time, but not all leaders are loud. Lots of people can lead by example & they don’t even need to say anything. So don’t count yourself out so soon.

Here are 7 tips to become a great leader, both at work & home:

1. Value Collaboration Over Competition
2. Challenge Your Team to Accept & Grow Through Mistakes & Failures
3. Communicate Clearly & Calmly
4. Be a Good Example of What You Want (live out your values)
5. Keep Others Interests & Needs in Mind (it’s not all about what you want)
6. Show Appreciate for the Individual, Not Just What They Contribute
7. Acknowledge What You Don’t Know (we don’t know everything)
