Tell me. Have you and do you employ the four L’s on a regular basis? What are they and how can you use them? I am so glad you asked. All four of them practiced together will help you on your journey to leadership and success.

1. LOOK - Be observant. Watch what is happening around you. You will be amazed at how much you will learn by paying attention to the small details. How someone moves and reacts to others presents an open book, showing you the best way to approach them. Also, watch closely for their reaction to you and what you are saying and/or asking.

2. LISTEN - Listening closely to others rather than talking pays off with huge dividends. When we stop thinking about what we are going to say next and sincerely listen to others with interest, we will not only find out a great deal, but we will also make them feel important. I know we have often heard that this is why we have two ears and only one mouth.

3. LEARN - My two mentors, Orrin Woodward and Chris Brady, have written the best selling book, Launching A Leadership Revolution: Mastering the Five Levels of Influence. Their first level is learning, and they point out that all “All leaders are readers. But all readers are not necessarily leaders.” Yes, I could actually list this post in every category because of the strength and influence of pursuing lifetime learning.

4. LEAD - When we master the levels - I will be focusing on them in many of my upcoming posts - we will become strong leaders in all areas of our lives, careers and communities. The beauty of leadership is that it is a skill that can be learned. Remember, if you look behind you and no one is there, you do need to work on leadership.

Until next time, keep up the growing and excelling.
