Leadership Principle #1 – Positivity

Over the next few months, I will be breaking down my 12 principles of effective leadership.

As one of my mentors, John Maxwell says, “Leadership is simply having the ability to influence others.” Finding significance in life and developing the capacity to positively influence others is really all about humility and an unwavering and intentional desire to add value to those around you.
