1. Leadership is Servanthood • • • • •
Mengapa Anda ingin jadi pemimpin? Motifnya memanipulasi atau memotivasi? Siapa yang Anda layani? Apa yang Anda taruh di atas kepentingan Anda? Servanthood begins with a secure leader. How about you? • Do you add value to others life or do you want others add value to your life? • Do you lift people to the higher level? • Are you the wind or anchor for others?

2. Let Your Purpose Prioritize Your Life Apa prioritas dalam hidup Anda?
Apakah Anda memusatkan perhatian pada prioritas itu dan tidak membiarkan diganggu oleh hal lain? Remember: people don’t pay for average!
The Laws of Priorities
Leaders understand that activity is not necessarily accomplishment.
John C. Maxwell, The 21 Irrefutable Laws Of Leadership
The Pareto Principle (80/20) • If you focus your attention on the activities that rank in the top 20 percent in terms of importance, you will have an 80 percent return on your effort. • Examples Time : 20% of our time produces 80% of the results. Work : 20% of our effort gives us 80% of our satisfaction. Leadership : 20% of the people make 80% of the decisions.
Self Evaluation (3R) 1. What is REQUIRED of me? 2. What gives the greatest RETURN? 3. What gives the greatest REWARD?
3. Live The Life Before You Lead Others Being the right example. People do what people see. It’s easier to teach what to do than to do it. You must do it first. Travel agent vs tour guide. Credibility is what I am not what I say. Leadership is a visual example of a path to follow. Leaders know the way; go the way and show the way.
4. Impact Comes from Relationships Not Positions Leadership is more about relating well with people than being over people. Leaders know that people skills is the most important resource. It’s the leaders’ responsibility to connect with people.
The Law of Connection
Leaders touch the heart before they ask for a hand
John C. Maxwell, The 21 Irrefutable Laws Of Leadership
Connect With People It’s the leaders’ responsibility to connect with people. How can leaders have compassion? Leaders must go, see, feel and care.
Leaders are inisiator in relationship.
5. Leaders Must Replenish Themselves Semakin banyak orang yang ingin kita tolong semakin banyak energi yang kita perlukan. Semakin sukses, semakin besar tuntutan orang terhadap Anda. Bahayanya adalah ketika kita kehabisan energi sehingga tidak ada lagi yang bisa kita berikan.
Kita juga harus menarik diri untuk mengisi kembali diri kita.
Peak to Peak Principle Hindari membuat keputusan penting ketika Anda sedang lapar, marah, kesepian atau letih.
Ketika di lembah, Anda tidak bisa melihat dengan jelas dan jauh. Sebelum ambil keputusan pastikan Anda mengambil istirahat fisik dan spiritual.
6. Great Leaders Call for Great Commitment Pemimpin membuat komitmen lalu menuntut komitmen dari pengikutnya. Komitmen terlebih harus kuat dalam keadaan sulit.
The Law of Sacrifice
A Leader must give up to go up
John C. Maxwell, The 21 Irrefutable Laws Of Leadership
Sacrifice If we pay now, we play later. If we play now, we pay later. There is no success without sacrifice. Sacrifice is a constant in leadership. It’s an ongoing process, not a one-time payment. If leaders have to give up to go up, then they have to give up even more to stay up. Leadership success requires continual change, improvement and sacrifice.
7. Leaders Show Security and Strength When Handling Tough Issues Caranya: 1. Kembangkan kehidupan spiritual Anda. 2. Tetap tenang selama masa sulit. 3. Hindari permusuhan. 4. Tangani perbuatan yang salah sesegera mungkin. 5. Selesaikan apa yang telah Anda mulai.
8. Great Leaders Lead on The Higher Level • Tidak pernah puas dengan apa yang ada. Tidak hanya memelihara yang sudah ada. • Kredibilitas datang kalau pemimpin berhasil memecahkan masalah. • Tingkat kepemimpinan yang lebih tinggi melakukan hal yang melampaui ekspetasi normal meski dimulai dengan langkah kecil. • Pemimpin mampu memimpin pengikutnya masuk ke tingkat kehidupan yang tidak mungkin bisa mereka capai seorang diri. • Maka pemimpin menuntut hal yang lebih dari dirinya sendiri dibandingkan orang lain. Memimpin diri sendiri sebelum memimpin orang lain.
