Leadership and Networking

Today I attended an excellent session on 'Mastering Leadership' presented by William Montgomery of askten. William framed the day around the 10 actions of effective leaders and I will come back to some of those over the next week or so as they are important for you in leading your network.

Effective leaders;
- learn to lead
- think strategically
- think creatively
- set goals
- appreciate that time matters
- are socially intelligent
- motivate successfully
- influence people
- put it across
- are fit to lead

Before going into those in more detail he also shared some research into the characteristics of good leaders. The top three are definitely shared by those that excel in business networking. They are honest, forward-looking and competent. These three qualities are the bedrock on which you can grow effective, profitable and long lasting business relationships.

Good Networking!
