Sharma: Lessons for Success
Robin S.
Sharma is a Canadian lawyer, leadership
expert and famous author of several best sellers, including the widely popular
The Monk Who Sold his Ferrari. He was ranked 7th on the international leadership
professional gurus chart in 2012, and has appeared on many television and radio
programs.
These are
his lessons for leadership and success:
1. You can
really Lead Without a Title.
2. Knowing
what to do and not doing it is the same as not knowing what to do.
3. Give
away what you most wish to receive.
4. The
antidote to stagnation is innovation.
5. The
conversations you are most resisting are the conversations you most need to be
having.
6.
Leadership is no longer about position – but passion. It's no longer about
image but impact. This is Leadership 2.0
7. The
bigger the dream, the more important to the team.
8.
Visionaries see the "impossible" as the inevitable.
9. All
great thinkers are initially ridiculed – and eventually revered.
10. The
more you worry about being applauded by others and making money, the less
you'll focus on doing the great work that will generate applause. And make you
money.
11. To
double your net worth, double your self-worth. Because you will never exceed
the height of your self-image.
12. The
more messes you allow into your life, the more messes will become a normal (and
acceptable) part of your life.
13. The
secret to genius is not genetics but daily practice married with relentless
perseverance.
14. The
best leaders lift people up versus tear people down.
15. The
most precious resource for business people is not their time. It's their
energy. Manage it well.
16. The
fears you run from run to you.
17. The
most dangerous place is in your safety zone.
18. The
more you go to your limits, the more your limits will expand.
19. Every
moment in front of a customer is a gorgeous opportunity to live your values.
20. Be so
good at what you do that no one else in the world can do what you do.
21. You'll
never go wrong in doing what is right.
22. It
generally takes about 10 years to become an overnight sensation.
23. Never
leave the site of a strong idea without doing something to execute around it.
25. Never
miss a moment to encourage someone you work with.
26. Saying
"I'll try" really means "I'm not really committed."
27. The
secret of passion is purpose.
28. Do a
few things at mastery versus many things at mediocrity.
29. To have
the rewards that very few have, do the things that very few people are willing
to do.
30. Go
where no one's gone and leave a trail of excellence behind you.
31. Who you
are becoming is more important than what you are accumulating.
32. Accept
your teammates for what they are and inspire them to become all they can be.
33. To
triple the growth of your organization, triple the growth of your people.

in your self-development is the best investment you will ever make.

people's opinions of you are none of your business.

is hardest at the beginning, messiest in the middle and best at the end.
37. Measure
your success by your inner scorecard versus an outer one.
38.
Understand the acute difference between the cost of something and the value of
something.

fails like success. Because when you are at the top, it's so easy to stop doing

44. The
real reward for doing your best work is not the money you make but the leader
you become.
45. Passion
+ production = performance.
46. The
value of getting to your goals lives not in reaching the goal but what the
talents/strengths/capabilities the journey reveals to you.
47. Stand
for something. Or else you'll fall for anything.

"thank you" when you're grateful and "sorry" when you're
wrong.

the work you are doing today better than the work you did yesterday.

daily – seemingly insignificant – improvements and innovations lead to
staggering achievements over time.
52. Take
care of your relationships and the sales/money will take care of itself.
