10. Get started early.
This one’s simple. Just set your alarm earlier.
For whatever reason, early risers do better in life. They’re happier, healthier and more productive.
Get a jump on your day, and you get a jump on leadership and life.
11. Arrive on time.
Great leaders are rarely late. This is another simple leadership discipline that can get you far.
Show up on time. Show up prepared, and you will be ahead of most people.
12. Practice self-care.
The best leaders take time off. They don’t work 24/7.
They realize they have limits and they respect them.
As I outlined here, almost every leader will either practice self-care or will revert to self-medication.
Don’t believe it? Ever notice you eat worse when you’re under stress? That you swap out exercise when your schedule fills up in exchange for more caffeine?
If you answered yes, you’re self-medicating, and it takes down a huge slice of business leaders and church leaders.
What Do You Think?
There are many more characteristics, but these are 12 I think deserve more daylight than they usually get.
