The most effective leaders are consistently open to receiving information which feeds their personal and organizational growth. They invite and and promote feedback from their organizations.

2. The Leader as ‘Coach’
- The ‘Coach’ is willing to put their own interest to the side while dedicating themselves to assisting others in building their business. The Leader Coach knows they are always on, being watched and copied by the people who respect what they’ve accomplished and strive to accomplish similar results. The coach understands that they’re never ‘giving it away’ because whatever you give away, double comes back! When the coach gives back they do it by providing instruction and / or training (private or specialized). The coach consistently creates growth in their organization by continuing to be receptive to new ideas, technologies & concepts.

4. The Leader as ‘Designer’
- The ‘Designer’ is one of the most important aspects of being a leader. This leader has vision and is able to see ‘It’ before it happens. The ‘It’ are the things that can have affect an the organization, or the opportunities that arise that can take the Team over the top (like sharing the business model with that one key person before anyone else even knows their name). The Designer has that innate ability to map out a successful course for the team on a path that no one has traveled before, while utilizing language that’s never been used before, they’re visionary and resourceful. The designer is also intuitive enough to know they may begin a thing, while others with vision may assist in the development and creation of the finished product. An effective ‘Designer Leader’ must have a degree of wisdom to see the future and the charisma to get others to ‘buy in’ before the plan has shown the future results.
