HONOR IS A CODE WHICH UPHOLDS THE FABRIC OF SOCIETY. LEADERS EXHIBIT HONOR.

“Disrespect and dishonor can be costly, not only in the currency of relationships but in the currency of life or even monetarily. Ever heard of contempt of court or contempt of congress? Both of these are punitive results from dishonoring the judge or administration who has authority in the situation. Learning to honor others has great reward in relationships, reputation, brand impression and more. Leaders must display honor both to those they serve as clients or employers and those the lead.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS SET GOALS TO IMPROVE THE INDIVIDUAL AND TEAM

“A goal which benefits only the team at the expense of the team members is a misguided goal. A goal which benefits only specific individuals at the expense of the team or other individuals is equally misguided and likely destructive. A good leader builds loyalty and trust by setting, defining and proceeding toward goals which improve the quality of life and productivity of each individual and the team at once.” J Loren Norris

WHAT MAKES A LEADER A CELEBRITY? IS IT A GOOD THING?

”No matter how you sell it, paint it, promote it, or label it, the contents of a balloon remain without much substance. A life designed to become a celebrity without cause, a life where celebrity status is the greatest ambition, will become much like that balloon. Regardless how pretty the outer shell, the decorations or accoutrements, what’s on the inside won’t amount to much. Leaders must focus instead on becoming people of substance before people of status.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS LISTEN - EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE MORE TO SAY THAN THEY WANT OR NEED TO HEAR

“More flies with honey… Speak in the terms of the other persons interest… two ears one mouth… All of these idioms point in the same general direction. Listening is both powerful and essential as a tool for leading. Leaders tend to have ideas, notions, plans, strategies and tactics which need to be shared with the team. However, when these ideas dominate the day for time, attention, energy, focused direction and combined effort, there is something potentially missing: synergy and collaboration. Listen first, then plan if you want to be a better leader.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP IS A FIELD WHERE THE GREATEST PRODUCT YOU EVER PRODUCE IS A GREATER PERSON. (YOU FIRST)

“The standards of measurement for what makes a great leader are so ambiguous they are near impossible to live up to.  The tricks, the manipulations, the expectations of those who choose to play the influence game for personal gain are overwhelming. When we measure leadership by the effectiveness of the people produced, we find where influence has created  people worthy of emulation. If you are not a person worth copying, you are not a leader worth following regardless your media following or bank account.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP GURU JOHN MAXWELL SAYS "WHO YOU ARE DETERMINES WHAT YOU DO." IS IT TRUE?

​“Everyone is built for something a little different. Every skill set, every talent, every natural gift, has a perfect fit in the economy of success. How you were created, who you spend time with, the books you read and what you believe about yourself will have more impact on your future successes than just about any other factor. As a leader, you must employ this knowledge to encourage and empower those you influence. Learn to read and enhance their greatest gifts and you will make a lifetime of impact on them.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS AVOID A DUMPSTER FIRE STORY LIKE THE PLAGUE 

“No one has reached adult life without baggage. Every memory we carry impacts our thoughts, beliefs, behavior and relationships. These things form and present the stories we tell. Some people have a predictable past, a predictable story and are fairly easy to anticipate. Others have a radically unpredictable story and a potentially volatile future to match. Their story is like a dumpster fire.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE "BOB PRINCIPLE" AND ASK THEMSELVES WHAT IF I AM BOB?

”It’s hard enough to lead people in an ideal situation. Add to the mix differing personalities, past traumas, and the stress of life as we know it and we have a recipe for leadership disaster. It is common to find the squeaky wheel getting the grease, or getting replaced, and often squeaking intentionally just to cause friction because it serves their own agenda. The epitome of this process is the leader who uses the system to manipulate and control by pitting team members against each other, abusing relationships and projecting themselves as both victim and hero at once. If you’re “Bob” it’s time to ‘fess up and get a coach!” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW EMOTIONS MAKE FOR RECKLESS OPINION FORMING AND EVEN WORSE DECISION MAKING

“Hasty decisions are often emotional decisions and those are reckless decisions. When leaders form their opinions or make major decisions on emotions alone they risk more than the decision itself. The long term effects, the unintended consequences, the emotional fallout from reckless decisions can be immeasurable. Take time to study the facts, remove yourself from the emotional state and emotional reactions. Form informed opinions and make solid decisions. That is leading well.” J Loren Norris
