Who Are You?

Are you the person you want your people to be?

And if you aren't, how can you expect them to be?

All great leadership begins with modeling.  Setting the example.  Being the person you want your own people to be.

As a matter of fact, the laws of nature prevent anything other than this from being true.

1. The law of the mirror states that what you give--you get back. And what you see--is what you are.
2. Who you are has a great deal to do with who you attract into your life, business, and relationships.
3. Like attracts like.  Great people attract great people.  Positive people attract positive people.

Positive begets positive. 

Give...What You Expect (or Need)

I call it the mirror effect.  It's the principal that states:

1. What you aren't getting and want...is what you need to give.

2. And what you get and don't want...is likely what you're giving.

3. And what you want most over anything else...is exactly what you need to give.

This has implications for personal relationships.  And the same principal of "the mirror effect" is just as applicable to business relationships.

1. If you're not getting loyalty and commitment from customers...your company probably isn't bathing your customers in the same.

2. And if you get employees who are putting in 70%--it is likely because you're not giving 100% of your best to them--personally, professionally, and treating them as your most valuable resource.

3.  And if you don't receive the absolute best products and prices (treatment) from your suppliers....it's probably because you make extreme demands and don't pay on time (again--the word is treatment).

There's a simpler way to act.  Follow the Golden Rule.
