Becoming a Great Leader - The Foundation (continued)

A final piece of a great leader’s foundation is their experience. Great leaders will take the hard tasks on with vigor. When a leader masters the hard tasks, he alone is uniquely qualified to take on those harder challenges that inevitably occur in every organization. Follow through on hard tasks allows a leader to gain practical experience in an organization, to learn from their mistakes and to know how to build successes in the future. By taking on these difficult tasks, the leader is respected for his courage and easily followed once he has found success. I encourage you all to look for the hard projects in 2014. Cutting your teeth on those projects will be a great step stone toward being a great leader.
