MORAL PRINCIPLES Honesty Integrity Loyalty The key to leadership is the emphasis you place on personal moral responsibility. 21

PERSONAL EXAMPLE Respect isn’t automatically given to a leader because of authority. You have to earn respect and confidence of personnel working for you by setting a good example. Lead your workers; don’t drive them. 22

HUMAN BEHAVIOR • KNOW WHAT MOTIVATES YOUR PEOPLE • FIVE LEVELS OF NEED ACCORDING TO MASLOW ARE: • SURVIVAL • SAFETY • SOCIAL BELONGING • ESTEEM • SELF-ACTUALIZATION (KNOW YOUR OWN WORTH) 25

GOOD LEADERSHIP PRACTICES Th They include de:  Ability to organize  Teach others to take risks  Work with people Always remember, everyone wants to be treated as an individual that has worth. Emphasize each person’s importance in getting the job done. 26

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EI) An assortment of non-cognitive skills, capabilities, and competencies that influence a person’s ability to cope with environmental demands and pressures. • Understand others 27

The last thing I want to say is there is a certain amount of competence that comes with leadership. If you are committing without the capacity to perform it will be the dumbest thing anyone can do. Once you commit you must have the capability to act on them.
