You have probably heard it said that many people are born leaders. However, the ability to lead is an art and requires learning a powerful set of skills and principles and then honing those skills and practicing those principles to the highest level. The legendary football coach Vince Lombardi said this about great leadership, “Leadership rests not only upon ability, not only upon capacity; having the capacity to lead is not enough. The leader must be willing to use it. His leadership is then based on truth and character.” So, what are some of the essential habits and principles that will help you and your clients grow into great leaders?In researching for a response to the above question, I found the following to share as essential habits and principles to develop great leadership.+ Be an example of Absolute Integrity.
