Being a good leader involves a number of qualities, and out of them, the most important is self-esteem. Thinking like a leader is most of the times driven by logic, which they develop through the vigorous process of learning and teaching. If you are one of those people who wish to develop leadership qualities, then the first point that you need to focus is your self-esteem.
Self-esteem is a part of self-confidence that you need to develop from within. Only, if you are confident about your thoughts and thinking you can be a good leader. If you look forward to people to help you develop your personality, you should not allow people to overpower your image, as they would not have a clue about your life and your thinking. Also, the person whom you might be looking up to might have a flawed thinking that would not be of much help to you.
Developing your own way of thinking and implying it in your actions can help you develop self-esteem and also leadership qualities. First, get this fact into your mind that you cannot please people no matter what you do. You should learn how to lead your life according to your principles and your wishes. Learn how to take decisions and how to stick to them. This will help you in raising your self-confidence level and also help you develop leadership qualities.
Work out on things that you are good at. This will help you in understanding your inner strengths and making proper use of them. Every person is born with some gifts, and developing these helps you find your source of life and expand your interest with time. Understand these gifts and work on them so that you can excel in your interest and get a better hold on them.
If you are dependent on other people for your actions, then grow up. Being dependent on others will only lower your self-esteem, and you would never be able to come to terms with yourself. It is important that you make your decisions and understand what is good for you and what is not. This will help you in realizing what you want from life and how you can work to make it possible.
Being a leader in your own way is something that makes you feel positive about yourself. Make yourself different from the crowd and have your goals set. Focus on your aims in life and look for ways in which you can achieve what you want. Always work on things that will help you improve your knowledge and ways of applying this knowledge.
Working in a traditional way will just make you one among the crowd. If you want to stand apart from the crowd then make your voice reach the crowds by doing something innovate, which is possible with the self-esteem you develop with time. Leadership and self-esteem are not in born qualities, you need to work out on them and develop them in a way that your presence is recognized by the masses.

Qouts from the best motivitional speakers
A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
Tony Robbins

For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent.
Tony Robbins

Tony Robbins
If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
Tony Robbins
If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you'll achieve the same results.
Tony Robbins
In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

Tony Robbins
Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.
Tony Robbins
My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.
Tony Robbins
Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year - and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade!
Tony Robbins
One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.

A cardinal principle of Total Quality escapes too many managers: you cannot continuously improve interdependent systems and processes until you progressively perfect interdependent, interpersonal relationships.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.

Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.

Maverick Entrepreneur
What is a Maverick Entreprene??
More money, more fun and more impact...
It's all about the philosophy of making more, having more fun and giving back more...while writing your own rules for success!
: the 34 Rules for Maverick Entrepreneurs
: the 34 Rules for Maverick Entrepreneurs
1. It’s got to be a BIG idea that you, your team and your customers can “get” in seconds.
2. Strive to create 10x – 100x in value for any price you charge. Your rewards are always proportionate to the value you provide.
3. You must charge a premium price so you have a large margin to provide an extraordinary value & experience.
4. Provide a ‘Reason Why’ customers should do business with you and pay you a premium.
5. Get paid before you deliver your product or service. And when possible figure out how to create recurring revenue from transactions.
6. You get to make the rules for your business. Don’t let industry norms dictate how you’ll work or who you’ll work with.
7. Create your business around your life instead of settling for your life around your business.
8. Consistently and constantly force yourself to focus on the ‘critically few’ proactive activities that produce exponential results. Don’t get caught up in minutia & bullshit.
9. Seek to minimize start-up risk but have maximum upside potential.
10. Get your idea out there as fast as possible even if it’s not quite ready by setting must-hit deadlines. Let the market tell you if you have a winner or not. If not – move on and fail forward fast! If it’s got potential – then you can make it better.
11. Find partners and team members who are strong where you are weak and appreciate being paid on results.
12. Your reputation always counts. Honor your obligations and agreements.
13. Never, ever get paid based on hours worked.
14. Leverage your marketing activities exponentially by using direct response methods and testing.
15. Measure and track your marketing so you know what’s working and what’s not.
16. Bootstrap. Having too much capital leads to incredible waste and doing things using conventional means.
17. Your partners and employees actions are their true core – not what they tell you.
18. Keep asking the right questions to come up with innovative solutions. “How?”, “What?”, “Where?”, “Who Else?” & “Why?” open up possibilities.
19. You’ll never have a perfect business and you’ll never be totally “done”. Deal with it.
20. Focus most of your time on your core strengths and less time working in areas you suck at.
21. Make it easier for customers to buy by taking away the risk of the transaction by guaranteeing what you do in a meaningful way.
22. Always have something else to sell (via upsell, cross-sell, follow-up offer, etc) whenever a transaction takes place. The hottest buyer in the world is one who just gave you money.
23. Always go back to your existing customers with exceptional offers and reasons they should give you more money. It’s 5x less expensive to sell to happy customers than go find new ones.
24. However the flip side is - fire your most annoying customers. They’ll be replaced with the right ones.
25. The marketplace and competitors are always trying to beat you down to a commodity. Don’t let that happen.
26. Develop and build your business’s personality that stands out. People want to buy from people.
27. Create your own category so you can be first in the consumer’s mind.
28. Go the opposite direction competitors are headed – you’ll stand out.
29. Mastermind and collaborate with other smart entrepreneurs if they have futures that are even bigger than their present.
30. Celebrate your victories. It’s too easy to simply move on to your next goal without acknowledging and appreciating the ‘win’.
31. Make your business AND doing business with you FUN!
32. Do the unexpected before and after anything goes wrong so customers are compelled to ‘share your story’.
33. Get a life! Business and making money are important but your life is the sum total of your experiences. Go out and create experiences & adventures so you can come back renewed and inspired for your next big thing.
34. Give back! Commit to taking a % of your company’s sales and make a difference. It this becomes a habit like brushing your teeth pretty soon the big checks with lots of zeros won’t be scary to write. If you think you can’t donate a percentage of your sales simply raise your price.
3. You must charge a premium price so you have a large margin to provide an extraordinary value & experience.
4. Provide a ‘Reason Why’ customers should do business with you and pay you a premium.

what is leadership?
Definition:
A simple definition of leadership is that leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal.
Put even more simply, the leader is the inspiration and director of the action. He or she is the person in the group that possesses the combination of personality and skills that makes others want to follow his or her direction.
In business, leadership is welded to performance. Effective leaders are those who increase their companys' bottom lines.
To further confuse the issue, we tend to use the terms "leadership" and "management" interchangeably, referring to a company's management structure as its leadership, or to individuals who are actually managers as the "leaders" of various management teams.
I am not saying that this is a bad thing, just pointing out that leadership involves more. To be effective, a leader certainly has to manage the resources at her disposal. But leadership also involves communicating, inspiring and supervising - just to name three more of the main skills a leader has to have to be successful.
Is a leader born or made? While there are people who seem to be naturally endowed with more leadership abilities than others, I believe that people can learn to become leaders by concentrating on improving particular leadership skills.
so
do you think your are a leader ?
i want comment from the veiwes
