“The organization cannot grow beyond the level of my leadership. For the organization to grow—I must grow. For the organization to realize its potential, I must enhance my performance. My growth as a leader contributes to the organization’s growth.”

– From Martin Willoughby’s Success Principles

Achieving success in your business, your career, or your personal life isn’t just happenstance – especially for leaders. You have to aim consciously for success – you have to lift the lid to success. Simply, you have to prepare.

As we consider “lifting the lid” to success – Principle #2 of Success Routines, Rituals, Habits – ask yourself these 7 questions:

1. What success routines, rituals, and habits have I utilized to ensure I’m growing as a leader?

2. What strengths am I enhancing?

3. Am I keeping up with the changes in the marketplace?

4. How well am I understanding the motivational needs of my team?

5. Am I surrounding myself with strong people?

6. Am I attracting voluntary followers?

7. Am I getting better and more effective as a leader? And how do I know this?
