Achievers vs. Leaders – Part 4

A fourth way an “Achiever Mindset” differs from a “Leader Mindset” is in the realm of Development.

High Achievers are great at Self-Development. They love pushing themselves and learning new things. They love having their reality challenged and love climbing new mountains.

High Leaders are great at Developing others. This is easier said then done. Making the shift in mindset looks like learning the art of transfering what you’re learning from self-application to self & others application. A Few thoughts on that…

1. Be conscious of what you’re learning. Many times we’re learning all the time, & we don’t even realize it. If you’re going to develop others, you have to recognize what you’re learning.

2. Find someone else to share it with. Either intentionally or unintentionally, it is the leader’s responsibility to teach othes what we’re learning.

3. You have to stay at least a step ahead in your learning. A leader is pushed to learn and grow because they know they are responsible to develop those around them.

4. Focus on it. Leaders understand the importance of developing others and pursue it with as much passion as they do growing themselves.
