7. Do the Right Thing

“Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing nobody is going to know whether you did it or not”
Oprah Winfrey

Leaders should possess a high level of integrity.
They should do whatever it takes to keep their character in tact.

Just because no one is watching, it doesn’t mean you can slack off.

You have difficult choices to make.
People have put their trust in you to do the right thing, no matter what.
Your decisions have an enormous impact on your team, business, or church.
You need to be able to put your personal feelings and desires to the side and choose what is best for all involved.

You have to choose what is right over what is convenient.
You have to choose what is best over what is popular.
You have to choose what is correct over what is more profitable.

When you choose to put your duty over your ego, you pave the way for more unity and selflessness from your team.

8. Stand Up!!

Leaders are responsible for the results of their organization, whether they are good or bad.

There is nothing worse than a leader who hides behind his crew when things get rough.

Don’t just accept the applause when things turn out right.
Your team will respect you and your position when you deal with the pressure of mistakes and failure.

You must exhibit the courage that it takes to stand out in front.

There are no excuses for being invisible.

As a leader, you should separate yourself from the “wannabe” leaders.
These are people that talk like a leader but never make a move to the front of the crowd.

Your team, company, or ministry, is looking for someone to guide them.
You are the ONE.

“Authority is 20% given and 80% taken”
Peter Ueberroth

You have an obligation to lead your people to the next level.

Step Up!
