There are many definitions about leadership out there these days, many. I think the simplest I have learned in seminars is “getting results though others.” I like this because it makes you think about where you are a leader. See, too many people think leadership is “something that happens” in Corporate America. No leadership happens in life. Developing the traits, qualities, skills and characteristics of leadership can only help your success.
You can be a leader:
- as a first level manager in Corporate America with direct reports
- as a team leader, with only “dotted line” team members
- as a direct sales or multi-level marketing coach to others wanting success
- as a parent with your children
- as a small business owner with your staff
- as a high level manager in Corporate America with other managers
- as an entrepreneur with clients, raving fans, and referrals sources
The opportunity to get results though others is a powerful one! Warrior-Preneurs embrace learning about leadership and incorporating it into who they are.
What are you learning about leadership that has helped you get better results through others? What qualities, skills or traits of leadership do you want to learn about?

I love the topic of leadership. I used to only think of leadership as it applies to the corporate world. Now, being a mother and a coach, I see leadership in a different light. I realize that I have an opportunity to lead daily. I think part of leadership is bringing out the best in others and then guiding them to use their strengths. I have to admit that when it comes to being a parent, I am challenged by this. For some reason the whole idea of leadership goes out the window and I fall back on being a dictator. Thanks for the reminder that I can use my leadership skills not only in my business but at home.

I have been learning souch about leadership over the past few months. I have discovered that a good leader leads by example, sets things in motion and guides people into doing things for themselves. Of course I learn from one of the best 🙂
I love the idea of being a leader with our own children. We show them how to navigate life by being an example of how to do things to get good results. And I’m seeing that this same principle applies to all other areas of our lives. Speaking up, reaching out and connecting is just as much leadership as running a huge business. And trusting myself to be me in front of everyone else. Greatly benefitting from SNCC Ann.
