Trust is the foundation of leadership. It is earned or it isn’t.

The LAW OF SOLID GROUND is a case for building a solid character, living with integrity, authenticity and discipline.

Character is the source of trust. We build our character by being scrupulously honest, even when it hurts.

To be authentic, we must be ourselves with everyone, not pretending to be something that we aren’t. Discipline comes from doing what needs to be done whether we like it or not.

As a retail leadership, you are as good as your word and your ability to keep. Your talents will only get you so far. If you are a hands-on leader, setting endcaps, doing planograms, or as a field leader, you devote a ton of time walking stores and helping them solve problems. This law of Solid Ground will help you maintain the respect and admiration of your team.

However, if are new to leadership and have yet to get the buy-in of your team. this law will be a great starting point for you.

Character cannot develop in an environment in which ethical decisions are forced upon the individual. Character is a product of judgment, discretion, and choice — born from a man’s free agency. 

This is to say that the choices every single person makes influence the world around him, and that the existence of a virtuous society is predicated on the virtue of each of its individual members. 

How to Keep your Character:

1. Strive to be the same person in front of the crowd as you are behind the scenes

• When the pressure is on, what’s inside always comes out.
• In a crisis or under stress, we don’t have the luxury of keeping up appearances.
• It’s at such times that our actions reveal who we really are—for good or for ill.
• Are you the same person outside of work?
• Do you live differently around different peer groups?
• Does your environment determine your speech or is it consistent no matter what?

2. Be very careful not to conform

• Sometimes it’s easier to conform.
• Sometimes the stakes aren’t that high, the outcome isn’t that  important, and it would just be easier all the way around to simply go with the flow.

Romans 12:2, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

• You see, character isn't who we say we are. It's who we ac

Leadership is a process and it takes time to master, there’s no way around the process

• Trust the process
• What is does influence really mean: 
  • Things may look bad now, but we have a plan in place to make it better.”

LAW OF ADDITION

The law of addition focuses on how to add value to your team in order to create more leaders to grow. Leaders who pour into their teams create more leaders. We know we can use more authentic leadership these days.

True leaders ask “How can I serve?” Because they are focused on service, it’s not so much about “What’s in it for me.”

As a retail leader, a large portion of your role is to invest in your team beyond their paycheck. The law of addition provides you an idea of how to serve your team

Three tips on how t add value to your team

1. Value others
   1. Value their time
   2. Information - people seem to have inside knowledge on a market, idea, trend, or community, and are known as people who spread change through their knowledge.
   3. Culture - what time of culture are you creating as a leader
2. Make yourself more valuable

The premise of adding value to the lives of your team members is that you intentionally add impact and substance. You cannot give what you don’t have.

1. Know and relate to what others value

“Inexperienced leaders are quick to lead before knowing anything about the people they intend to lead. But mature leaders listen, learn, and then lead.” John C. Maxwell

Many leaders are too quick to take charge. A good leader takes the opportunity to listen to what every person believes is important and then leads.

“The bottom line in leadership isn’t how far we advance ourselves but how far we advance others,” John C. Maxwell wrote. Great leaders derive pleasure from making life better for others by adding value to them. They are intentional about adding merit and making it part of their core values.

Developing and executing influence and being active in your own journey are keys to success.

Leadership is a process and it takes time to master, there’s no way around the process 

• Trust the process
• What is does influence really mean: 
  • Things may look bad now, but we have a plan in place to make it better.”

LAW OF PROCESS 

• Leaders are learners and their capacity to develop and improve their skills distinguishes leaders from their followers. The learning process is ongoing and a result of self-discipline and perseverance.
• As a retail leadership, you may want to get promoted to District manager or to Regional Director or you are a team leader looking to get promoted. two misnomers about getting promoted are: 
  • Tenure
  • Knowledge

Developing and executing influence and being active in your own journey are keys to success
