Consistency Leads to Success in Leadership

Consistency is the Key

The word leadership gets brought up in many discussions. It is the way in which we grow, modify and change our organizational or individual strategy. One characteristic I see many strong leaders sharing is their consistency in behavior.
As a solid leader, your actions (what you say, what you do, where you spend your time, what you deem important, the decisions you make, etc.) are being observed and analyzed by others and, thus, demand consistency. This way, the people under you will not be confused, surprised or caught off guard. And, remember it is not the person’s title that makes a leader. Anyone within an organization can be a leader.

So, here is a word picture to consider. Try to think of consistency as being the steady and methodical pace of a marathon runner and inconsistency as the erratic (speed up/slow down) pace of a short distance runner. Consistency of leadership as a CEO, CMO or Sales Executive is applicable to all. Here are five consistent leader themes to remember:

  1. Consistent leaders are honest. They do not have to remember what “partial truth” they might have told. The complete truth is so much easier to remember; and you know where you stand with such leaders.
  2. Consistent leaders are loyal to their employers and/or employees. This means these individuals look at the big picture and do not simply react in an emotional manner to one event. They look at the entire situation and refrain from making “knee-jerk” reactions.
  3. Consistent leaders are well-rounded in all aspects of their lives. They know who they are and what is truly important. They strive to do what is right (whether people are watching or not)…and to be authentic each day.
  4. Consistent leaders set growth-oriented goals and then track their progress to ensure they are growing in all areas (mental, physical, social and spiritual) of life. It is the consistent journey, not the end destination, that matters to such leaders.
  5. Consistent leaders are committed to operating with integrity. They do not change their behavior or “moral compass” depending on who they are talking to. They know character is in the “trying” to be more consistent and that it is a process.

Leadership

In short, leadership is all about consistency. I hope these examples (no matter what your role in the organization is) prove helpful to you. Have a great week.

Why Be Consistent?

In life, it is quite simple if you want to be a leader and differentiate yourself from the many followers out there... you must be CONSISTENT. I cannot stress this word enough. Based on its definition in the dictionary, consistency can be described as being marked by harmony, regularity, or steady continuity and free from variation or contradiction. Also, showing steady conformity to character, profession, belief, or custom. So with that said, who would NOT want to be consistent. In any new habit you try to create you will only be successful if you are consistent. Five thoughts on consistency. 1.…

7 Steps to Become the Worst Salesperson Possible

I am unorthodox in my approach to teaching salespersons so that they can grow. I thought you might as well know that now before you read this post. So, let’s look at this process of sales success backwards. What things do ineffective salespersons do? If you are doing any or all of these things, simply said, you are going the wrong way. Thus, this also means the opposite behavior is what you should be doing, saying etc. Be sure to tell everyone possible that today’s buyers only care about price. Comment frequently on how hard it is to get past…

Simple is better!

Ok, quick time out for a marketing and communications 101 lesson.  Simple is better.Why do restaurants and convenience stores make our providing them feedback so difficult.  With the advent of texting, and QR codes who has a desire-- to call a 1-800 number to tell how a company how it is doing. Isn't such an approach ALL about the company and LITTLE about the customer?Should it not be easy, simple and the opposite (about the customer)?  Simple is better.If I knew I could tell Chili's restaurant via a text message how they are doing, and that it would take me…
