They take their responsibilities seriously. Give them tasks worthy of their involvement. A great vision attracts financial leaders. A small vision repels financial leaders. These leaders also care about their legacy. They want to accomplish something great with their lives and are intentional about doing so.<\/li>\n<li>Financial leaders are risk-takers by nature and unafraid of failure. However, do your homework. Financial leaders deal in reality\u2013not fantasy. Commitment will be low if they feel projects or initiatives are poorly planned and unachievable.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, financial leaders understand return on investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Apex Leaders Lead By Example \u2013 Chapter 9<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pat Summitt \u2013 1984 Olympic medal, 8 NCAA Championships, first to reach 1000 wins, never had a losing season in 38 years (84.1% winning percentage), 7-time National Coach of the Year, 18 assistants became head coaches, 100% graduation rate, started in 1974 at 22 years old, washed the uniforms, drove the bus, did doughnut sales, slept in the other team\u2019s gym on mats.
