This is a post I have wanted to write for a long time.<\/strong> \u00a0There are countless articles written on how to become a successful leader. \u00a0In fact, I have added many logs to that fire. \u00a0But there are very few posts, articles and books written on how to REMAIN a successful leader.<\/p>\n

Lasting leadership is a topic many people do not address. \u00a0Perhaps it has become so rare.<\/p>\n

The following are 6\u00a0Reasons A Leader Remains In Leadership And Why Many Do Not<\/strong>. \u00a0To describe this type of individual, I took each letter of the word “REMAIN” and built a profile of someone who remains in leadership for an extended period of time. \u00a0See if you know someone like this.<\/p>\n

R – Resilience<\/strong> – This speaks to passion. \u00a0Nowhere in the Bible did God call someone to an easy task. \u00a0No matter what a person faces, the calling on this person’s life is so strong they will press into and through the issues they are facing. Resilience is often fueled by another “R” word – Responsibility. \u00a0To put it in fundamental terms, sometimes you do what you have to do to put food on the table for your family.<\/p>\n

E – Environment<\/strong> – This speaks to culture. \u00a0Author Jon Gordon says, “Culture drives expectations and beliefs. \u00a0Expectations and beliefs drive behavior. \u00a0Behavior drives habits. \u00a0Habits create the future.” \u00a0You hire the culture you want. \u00a0Lasting leaders have created a healthy environment and protect it.<\/p>\n

M – Makeup<\/strong> – This speaks to character. \u00a0This is who a leader is at his or her core. \u00a0Of the six qualities listed this is the most important. \u00a0Character is what sustains a leader wherever their talent make take them.<\/p>\n

A – Attitude<\/strong> – John Maxwell often says, “Your attitude determines your altitude.” \u00a0Leaders who last have teams that CAN help them. \u00a0This speaks to their skill. \u00a0But they also have teams who WANT to help them. \u00a0This speaks to loyalty. \u00a0You cannot last as a leader without both. \u00a0All things being equal, give me a leader with a great attitude with marginal skill over a one with a poor attitude and tremendous skill any day of the week.<\/p>\n

I – Intelligence<\/strong> – This speaks to the leader being a continual learner. \u00a0Things are always changing, always advancing, and doing so at a rapid pace. \u00a0A leader who does not increase their intelligence will be quickly left behind.<\/p>\n

N – Neighborly<\/strong> – This speaks to the emotional intelligence and the prioritization of relationships. \u00a0Lasting leaders are kind. \u00a0Their people and customers know the leader wants the best for them. \u00a0Teams will fight hell with a water pistol for this type of leader.<\/p>\n

What is one thing from this list you can improve on to become a lasting leader?<\/p>\n
