Eight Leadership Strengths for Success in Network Marketing

1.  Your mission is to make someone else's life better.  Center on them.  Ask what is important to them, what needs to change, and what they are doing to bring about change.  For example, "What's important about health to you?"  "What's important about finances to you?"  (Notice "to you" at the end?  It's all about them.)  "What are you doing right now to maintain or improve your goals?"

2.   People put their trust in YOU and in your system.  It's no secret that people want to join a winning team with a leader who will plug them into a proven system for success.  To avoid "buyer's remorse", show them the easy, fast way to get started and schedule a training session within 48 hours to verify and strengthen their decision. 

3.  Positive expectations bring positive results.  Your enthusiasm and belief in others will help them believe in themselves and to create a greater vision for their lives.Your vision for winning and pushing past discouragement, criticism, problems and barriers, will help others rise beyond their own expectations.

4.  Create community.  This requires more creativity, now that you can build a team around the world, thanks to the Internet.   This makes your e-mail system, webcasts and local events that much more important.  Affirmations are even more important today, acknowledging small and large achievements.

5.  Look for talented people to work with.  Look for people smarter than you and with varied talents.  Diversify the age groups, genders, backgrounds, skills and ethnic backgrounds.  A great leader looks for and develops other great leaders who do the same, resulting in a dynamic, solid organization for a lifetime.

6.  Excellent leaders are always learning, and encouraging others to fulfill their potential.  Where do you have the greatest need for growth?  Ask your team the same question.  Your business will grow in direct proportion to the personal growth of you and your team.  Seek out seminars, webcasts, books, DVD's, CD's, corporate events.

7.  Leaders do the right thing and they pay the price.  Integrity.  When a leader doesn't know how to handle a situation, they "do the right thing" for everyone involved.  Integrity includes being fully compliant with corporate policies.  Following through on a promise.  No gossiping.  Solving situations before they become a problem.

8.  Leaders offer real hope for a better future.   Have people strongly establish their "why" for succeeding in business.  What are their specific dreams if money wasn't an object?  Help them develop a strategy for attaining what they want.  Create "dream boards" in pictures.  Now put those strategies into action.  Make it a team effort and together everyone will win.

(This post was written for us, as well as for you.  Leadership is an ongoing learning and applying process.  We hang around successful leaders to learn from them, be inspired, and then put what we like from them into action.)
