Genius is making the complicated simple, not the simple complicated.<\/strong> \u00a0Therefore, in an effort to make you a better leader, I want to simplify the process by looking at one industry’s top executive leaders and learning from his life.<\/p>\n

John Elway, general manager of the 2016 Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos,<\/strong>\u00a0was a legendary Hall of Fame quarterback who has successfully transitioned into his current role on the team. \u00a0In an August 1st NFL Network training camp interview, Elway discussed a variety of topics including leadership and being a successful quarterback.<\/p>\n

As I listened to his thoughts, I gleaned the following 9\u00a0Habits Of Highly Successful Executive Leaders. \u00a0Three additional habits<\/strong> from a January 12th, 2015 Sports Illustrated<\/a> interview are included as well. \u00a0All quotes are from Elway.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Highly Successful Executive Leaders Are Always Looking Forward<\/strong> – “We’re chasing another championship. \u00a0We’re not trying to defend anything.”<\/li>\n
  2. Highly Successful Executive Leaders Evaluate Current Reality<\/strong> – “The great thing about training camp is we get to go figure out where we are.”<\/li>\n
  3. Highly Successful Executive Leaders Value Stability And Consistency<\/strong> – “You’re trying to find that guy (quarterback\/leader) who can be there for 12-15 years and perform and win football games for you.”<\/li>\n
  4. Highly Successful Executive Leaders Are Confident Leaders<\/strong> – “As they gain confidence they’ll (quarterbacks) gain that leadership ability.”<\/li>\n
  5. Highly Successful Executive Leaders Deliver Superior Results<\/strong> – “Where leadership comes from, especially as a quarterback, is you have to go out and perform. \u00a0And when you perform they will follow you. \u00a0And they will follow you in tough spots.”<\/li>\n
  6. \u00a0Highly Successful Executive Leaders Position Themselves For Success<\/strong>\u00a0– “If we can get him in the right situations with the right people around him and let him go, ultimately it’s up to him and the decision-making process is something we can’t control.”<\/li>\n
  7. Highly Successful Executive Leaders Are Aggressive<\/strong> – “When you lose confidence as a quarterback you’re not going to get it back because when you lose the confidence, you’re not going to be as aggressive as your need to be.”<\/li>\n
  8. Highly Successful Executive Leaders Make Excellent Decisions<\/strong> – “When you talk about decision-making at that (quarterback) position, that’s what separates the greats from the average is the fact is they make great, aggressive decisions 99% of the time.”<\/li>\n
  9. Highly Successful Executive Leaders Have Many Options<\/strong> – “He’s (Peyton Manning) got a lot of options and doesn’t need any of them.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Sports Illustrated, January 12th, 2015<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Highly Successful Executive Leaders Are Continually Getting Better<\/strong> – “After the Super Bowl (43-8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks) I was on that bus the next morning, and all I could think is, How are we going to get better.”<\/li>\n
    2. Highly Successful Executive Leaders Sense And Seize Momentum<\/strong> – “Momentum swings in a Super Bowl are five times what they are in a normal game. \u00a0It’s so much bigger. \u00a0When things go against you. \u00a0It’s like a wave.”<\/li>\n
    3. Highly Successful Executive Leaders Delegate Responsibility<\/strong> – “When I realized I’m not the one who has to do it all that we started winning championships…I threw for 120 yards (in Super Bowl XXXII) and we won. \u00a0I was like, I don’t care! \u00a0I did my job!”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
