MLM leaders: 3 steps of leadership

So the question is how you develop leadership skills required to inspire others to achieve common vision and become leaders too? When I was watching many leaders from all around the world I have realised that they all have one thing in common. That thing is the attitude of delivering more than they were expected to deliver. And this is one of the most important leadership qualities. So you want to be a leader? Deliver more, do more, be more, expect more, produce more, show up more. You need to be an example of what should be done and how it’s done.

I was wondering how regular people become great leaders, is there any pattern or steps to follow? And I think yes there is couple of steps that you need to go through in order to develop leadership skills. These steps are framed in these three letters: I.L.T.

“I” stands for INVEST

If you suck in any skill that you want to develop, let’s say sales or public speaking. First thing you need to do is to invest. Invest your time and possibly your money to find the schools, courses, coaches who will teach you what to do and how to do it. In extreme situations if you have no money to pay for courses or seminars you can find a job that will require from you skills that you want to develop. And guess what Most sales jobs are easy to get, because no one wants to do them. Funny enough sales reps are in many cases the best paid employees in the company. If you wish to develop your speaking abilities you can sign up with let’s say Toastmasters. They are great in teaching people how to become great public speaker. So main message at this stage is: stay in student mode all the time.

“L” stands for LEARN

Most of the things in life can be learned. You just need a desire to study and perseverance to practice, practice, practice. This is how you sharpen your skills. So first you have learned the theory, now is the time to get your hands dirty. Go out and put into action things you have learned.

“T” stands for TEACH

Now is the time for you to start teaching your team how to make things happen. And you have right to do so, because you know what you are talking about! Not only you know the theory but you went out there and checked this in practise, produced results and no one can tell you that you are just talking about something you never did.

There is many different leadership styles. And it doesn’t matter which one is the best for you. What does matter is the fact that you are willing to go through all of the above steps and always deliver more than is expected from you. Never forget that you need to be a servant leader and good of others should be your priority.
