Competence



From chapter 5 of The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, John C. Maxwell points out that people admire leaders who demonstrate high competence. Here are some ways to bolster your competence...
  1. Show up every day. Highly competent people "...don't show up in body only. They come ready to play every day no matter how they feel, what kind of circumstances they face, or how difficult they expect the game to be."
  2. Keep improving. Look for ways to grow and learn.
  3. Follow through with excellence.
  4. Accomplish more than expected. Don't be afraid to go the extra mile.
  5. Inspire others. Motivate them to perform at a higher level.
