Principles are the foundation on which you should stand. A leaders principles (values) are clear and non-negotiable. They know what they stand for and what they will stand from others.
Are your principles clear? Do people know what you stand for? If not... Why not? Make it a priority to define your principle and then let people you lead know what they are.
I have four basic principles I have instilled into my children.
- Respect for others, show it and give it.
- Honesty, be honest in all you do.
- Integrity, keep your word
- Communication, it must be open and truthful.
My children and the people I lead, know what is important and what I expect. In turn they know what to expect from me. This makes life so much simpler and less stressful.
What are your principles? Define them today!
