How far-reaching and long-lasting is your legacy as a leader?

This week’s TIP OF THE WEEK comes from By Sam Reese  –  CEO, Vistage Worldwide, Inc. In his article, The CEO’s 7 laws of leadership Sam discusses how “Leaders who seek to reach new heights in business and in life set these seven laws as their compass”.

The seven laws of Leadership Sam provides include:

Reject shortcuts to growth * Create the space to work on the business * Challenge your thinking with fresh perspectives * Stoke curiosity * Apply discipline to decision-making * Find a trusted guide * Rise by helping others.

Sam teaches that leadership is a journey, the “life of climb”, and how to elevate others while accepting the challenges and struggles that leadership brings.

He offers that reflection and new knowledge, and allowing yourself time away from the mental struggle to gain clarity and perspective, helps to regain your inquisitive outlook.

Mentors are critical notes Sam, “Leaders who take a comprehensive approach to mentoring and insights from subject-matter experts continually outperform their competitor”.

Critical thinking and helping others rise to their own potential in the decision-making processes help both businesses and communities. “These high-integrity leaders leave a legacy that’s far-reaching and long-lasting”.

“These high-integrity leaders leave a legacy that’s far-reaching and long-lasting”.

As CEO of the world’s largest CEO and coaching and peer advisory organization, Sam understands the diverse perspectives one can gain from others.

Sam lays out his 7 laws of leadership for CEOs who are high on curiosity and welcome new ideas. The CEO’s 7 laws of leadership I highly recommend it.
