The 12 Principles of Highly Successful Leaders 

1.Be true to character

Reflection:To be true to your character is to be who you are no matter what and to show other people the side of you that is the real you.It is also to be able to work on difficult task and stay true to who you are.It is when all seems bad but your still able to be yourself and help out your co-workers in the struggles.With this principle you can show your co-workers that you are a person that they can trust because you can be real with them and show them who you really are and not some fake you who will just do anything they say without inputting your own opinion.

2.Use your imagination

Reflection:To use your imagination is to make it so that nothing is unreachable and that as long as you work hard you can reach your goal. It is also the thing the at helps us be the people that we are. To use your imagination is to be able to think of new things that other people can only dream of thinking and its also the way that we can express our self's 

3.Apply the power of knowledge

Reflection:To apply the power of knowledge is to use everything you know about a subject and accomplish it. Its to use your knowledge on a everyday bases and to continue learning.This is to be used at all times so that you can accomplish your goals at a greater rate than ever before.

4.Never Give Up

Reflection:To never give up is something many other people should follow since there are so many ideas that are just forgotten just because someone thought it was a good idea to give up. Well giving up is never something good because its showing that you failed at something when you could have just worked harder at it and accomplished you goal.To give up is telling your family and friends that backed you up that they were wrong that you could not accomplish what you set out to do.

5.Find peace and balance 

Reflection:To find peace and balance is to find something that makes you complete this could be in the form of a person or a thing.When a person finds this they will be the best person they can be because they won't feel hate or anger at a person but understanding and they will be able to get through the toughest challenges without a problem.

6.Live the Golden Rule

Reflection:Living the golden rule is an important thing because it is the right thing to do and its the most important rule that we as humans can follow.While following this rule you can't go wrong while following it. The golden rule is important because almost every major religion has one that there followers follow.This is the one rule that many people follow because it can change so much depending on your religion.

7.Build and maintain trust

Reflection: To build trust is an important thing because with this when can make it so that the people that are in our life know that if they have a problem they can trust us to talk about it.Maintaining trust is one of the hardest things to do because just the smallest mistake can cause it to vanish in an instant. To maintain the trust of another person one would need to tell the truth to the person that they want to maintain there trust with and try not to be a bad person to them and help them out in there time of need. 

8.Quick to listen slow to wrath 

Reflection:This is that someone will listen to things and want it over quickly but will be slow to understand it. This could be a bad thing because someone could say something bad and the other person takes a long time to understand it and by the time that do it would be to late for them to do anything about it.This works the same with many things like say that you have a friend or family member that is injured but it takes for ever for you to respond that could put the person in a lot of danger.

9.Lead with vision

Reflection:To lead with vision is to lead with a goal already in mind and to have what you what to accomplish before doing anything. This is the best way to lead because this way you already know what you want to accomplish before anything is started up. I will try doing this in the future by always having what I want to do in my mind.

10.Manage with a plan

Reflection:To manage with a plan is to have a plan ready for use. Now this plan could be for anything as long as you have one that is what matter because with a plan you already know what you are going to do and how you are going to do it. But don't always follow the plan be ready to make changes to the plan because as a man once said no plan survives contact with the enemy and it is also true here and the enemy of this plan is those people that want to see you fail.

11.Do what matters the most

Reflection:To do what matters the most is a good thing to remember because that way we can have our priorities setup straight and know what must be done first.This is also a good thing to keep in mind for when you are in a relationship because if you forget special events in your relationship well boy are you in trouble with your partner.Also I will start doing this in my life by having a planner to be able to mark what is more important than other things.

12.Be accountable 

Reflection:To be accountable is to have a responsibility on your shoulders that means that if something goes wrong under you watch or someone is injured that the responsibility of what happens falls on you not on anyone else.This is an important thing because not many people want to accept this but this is something that comes with being a leader you have to be ready to take the blame because the people under you were under your care and supervision so there actions fall unto you not unto them.This is why so many leaders fail because they don't do this and later there followers leave them in the dust because they aren't taking charge for things that happen when they lead.

Reflection:These principles where helpful because they showed me things people who are successful use to get to where they got.This also showed me that there are a lot of things that those who are in charge of big corporations have many things to worry about other than if the company stays afloat.I will try and show people this so they can implement some of these techniques into there careers and hopefully become someone successful in live.
