3 Character Traits for a Leader Hungry Hone-able Honorable

#1 Character Trait -Hunger is the fuel, the energy to… Begin Stamina to persist The will to finish an endeavor This hunger at the onset births leadership.

Tim McGraw- “How bad do you want it? How bad do you need it? Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming, with that one thing on your mind?

Hunger grows as a seed in the soil of discontent, and stretches upward toward a better vision of tomorrow like a plant toward the sun.

What can feed & nurture my hunger? Material Success Recognition & Respect Purpose, Destiny, & Legacy

Motivation Level #1 Material Success Dream Building – “Nothing happens unless first a dream.”- Carl Sandberg “What do you want? Write it down, visualize it, dream it, team it, scheme it, and it’s yours.” – Mark Victor Hanson Negative situations can provide positive motivation

Motivation Level #2 Recognition Recognition “The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.” William James “I have yet to find the person, however great or exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than he would ever do under a spirit of criticism.” Charles Schwab

Motivation Level #2 Respect “Respect is deeper than recognition. Look only to those you respect for respect. For when you obtain the respect of those who are where you want to be, you’ll be on the path to where they are and what they have achieved.” Chris Brady & Orrin Woodward

Motivation Level #3 Purpose, Destiny, & Legacy Purpose – the True North for our mental & emotional inner compass

“Chance is the very opposite of purpose.” Edgar Andrews “All of us seek to live lives that count. The big question that gnaws at us is: ‘How can our lives truly make a difference?” J. Douglas Holladay “Every man should be embarrassed to die until he accomplishes something great in this world.” General Douglas Macarthur

Motivation Level #3 Purpose, Destiny,& Legacy Destiny is the deepest level of motivation available. What would you do if you knew that you could not fail? How well could you perform if you truly believed that what you were doing was something you were supposed to do?

Motivation Level #3 Purpose, Destiny, & Legacy Legacy- Legacy results from understanding our purpose in the bigger picture of our destiny and living it to its fullest. What we have and what we are given are not as important as what we contribute and what we leave behind. Life is short.

#2 Character Trait Hone-able! Hone-able- an attitude that allows intensifying and sharpening. When you are teachable, your potential is limitless!!

Roadblocks to being Hone-able Arrogance – Be humble toward mentors, peers, & subordinates. Disinterest- Be dedicated to learning up- to-date knowledge. Entrenched Habits- Be aware of “That’s just the way we’ve always done it attitudes.” Cynicism- Be a winner and fix problems instead of a loser who only fixes blame.

#3 Character Trait Honorable “Honor encompasses the virtues of: Integrity Honesty Self-Denial Loyalty Servant Humility to those in authority above as well as a just and merciful heart to those below.” Jeff O’Leary

Honor is the force that holds a leader’s hunger in check. If reputation is what others think of you, then character is what God knows about you. People will follow a leader only as far as they feel they can trust him.

HONOR Your word is your worth and your worth is your word. To become a leader worth following you must give time and attention to the inner man. To leave a legacy that goes beyond accomplishment alone, a leader must devote himself to matters of the heart.
