IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT:

Leadership examples, traits, and principle

Putting down your cellphone and changing the world!

ITEMS MENTIONED:

One trait all successful leaders must have – courage

It’s not about charisma; it’s not about having a wonderful personality. Being a leader is all about taking the risk before everyone else does.

A leader is someone who take responsibility and not necessarily someone who is in authority

Cellphone addiction and social media addiction

Everything is instantaneous to us nowadays – we get what we want in an instant

Leadership and fulfillment are like exercise – you don’t see daily results

Don’t look at the short-term results

To really be able to make a difference, you have to be able to devote your energy and yourself to one thing, not a lot of things

Like any addiction, you can’t get rid of it overnight

Cellphones are good, but if you’re having dinner, put it away

Great ideas and innovation come from paying attention and looking at the world around us

Allow ourselves to be curious and allow our minds to wander

Advice to young speakers and writer – don’t strive to be one, but be interested in sharing an IDEA

Be interested in GIVING and not focusing on yourself

Simon shares about his books Leaders Eat Last and Start With Why

Leadership is like parenting, putting all the needs and wants of your children before you

Leadership is a practice you have to do everyday

Everyone of us have the opportunity to be the leader we wish we had
