Secrets to unlock your irresistible leadership

Bruce Holland unlocks the secrets about how you can become an irresistible leader. But first let's discuss: What is an irresitible leader? 1m32s.

The Secrets

Irresistible leaders know people are fundamentally different from each other. Treat them the way they want to be treated and they will give magic. Listen to this secret 5m27s.
Irresistible leaders know people are the same. They all want to be loved, appreciated and included. They know that they won’t go too far wrong as long as they do this. Listen to this secret 2m20s.
Irresistible leaders know that managing the 'space' in between people is at least as important as managing the individuals. They work hard on trust, relationships and connections. Listen to this secret 2m59s.
Irresistible leaders know each person has a genius factor. They help their people find it and put it to work for the benefit of the organisation. They help them break off the mud to reveal their Golden Buddha. Listen to this secret 5m02s.
Irresistible leaders take control of their subconscious mind. They know they will be as big or as small as their self-image. Listen to this secret 1m32s.
Irresistible leaders never forget that they always have a choice. They choose to include rather than exclude. They choose to join rather than separate. They choose to find the good in people not the bad. Listen to this secret 4m47s.
Irresistible leaders make their people strong. But first they work on their own strengths. They know strong people find strengths in others and weak people find weaknesses in others. Listen to this secret 4m19s.
Irresistible leaders are givers. They believe BIG people are givers. Givers get what they give. As a leader they give priceless gifts, including their time, their trust, their belief in people and have high expectations. They are radiators, not refrigerators. Listen to this secret 5m11s.
Irresistible leaders know that questions, not answers, are the key to leadership. They ask questions when someone brings them a problem. They dig for the real problem rather than accepting symptoms, personal biases or assumptions. Listen to this secret 4m06s.
Irresistible leadership is not about the work. It is about the workplace. It’s not about double checking the work of others. It is about creating a workplace where everyone can do their best work, then getting out of the road as much as possible. It's about trusting the system, not over managing. Listen to this secret 2m51s.
Irresistible leaders know that systems thinking is the only way to crack 'wicked problems'. By systems thinking, I mean seeing the whole problem with all its connections, time-lags and implications. Listen to this secret 9m57s.
Irresistible leaders always remember that they are managing a network of living systems. They are not managing a bureaucracy or a machine. Listen to this secret 5m14s.
