Anything worthwhile takes effort. If you want to be a great leader, do the steps necessary to make it happen. I had the opportunity to hear Chris Gardner several years ago in Las Vegas. He is an example of someone that did whatever it took to become successful and a leader. I recommend that you take a few minutes to watch this video of him. You may need to set aside a little time as it will take some time to watch them all, but well worth it and help you you improve your skills and mindset.
