Being a leader is one thing. Being a leader who understands their personal leadership style and can effectively use it is another thing. In today’s episode of Playing in the Sandbox, in the first part of a two part episode, I meet with Chris Warnes (C.W.) to discuss how leaders can dominate their personal leadership.

Here are C.W.’s lessons to help you dominate your personal leadership:

  1. Don’t be afraid to go through dark times. Be willing to struggle.
     
  2. Be accountable and responsible for yourself before trying to lead others.
     
  3. Don’t view mistakes as bad. View them as learning opportunities.
     
  4. Talk with your team clearly, concisely, and directly.
