@LeadWithGiants A3. By doing so, leaders role-model for their teams that others come first, before themselves. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@mark_wager Indeed, I like that dash of luck :) #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@LeadWithGiants A4. Simple. Invert the letter "M" :P #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@BLDWhatMatters Oh, man, I cannot emphasize listening enough! #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@SusanPriti @LeadWithGiants lol ... It's inverting our attention from inward to outward :) #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

#LeadWithGiants A4 -- Great leaders learn to burn the free fuel of praise and respect. They build a place where all can be successful.
— Jim Deeken (@jdeek) September 9, 2013

@LeadWithGiants A4. Passion lends impetus to leadership. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@KylePrisock Yes, passion is contagious, isn't it, when we think about conveying it to others. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@LeadWithGiants A6. So humility is the underpinning of teamwork, collaboration and empathy. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

A6 knowing that your not perfect lets others know that they don't need to be perfect either, #leadwithgiants
— Ron Sims (@CoachRims) September 9, 2013

And also humility is simply a reminder that there are far greater things than around us than ourselves. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

A6. Humility allows you to use empathy and skill to drive results #leadwithgiants
— Pred. Syn. Systems (@Predictive_PI) September 9, 2013

@GauthierJohann Yes, yes ... humility is the prompt to focus on others. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@chryspeterson Ooh, nice one, Chrys ... "magic leadership ingredient" #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@DanVForbes A7. Nope. One doesn't have to be a leader or to be great to succeed. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@KylePrisock That's well-said, Kyle. It's like you have to succeed, and succeed again, in order to be great. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@GianaConsulting Definitely a wow with pixie dust and all that, Chery :) #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@LeadWithGiants A8. Resolve is aware and smart. Stubbornness is, well, otherwise! #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@changeguerilla Perfect point, Andy. Level 5 leadership is conferred to us by others. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@changeguerilla Another good one, Andy! Too many stubborn people out there, it seems (sigh). #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@theteapixie Good one! #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@DanVForbes A9. Well, I don't think it ought to be an enemy per se. But if good = mediocre, then it is. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@AndeLyons @BLDWhatMatters Yep, when good = passive, then it's an enemy. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@chryspeterson Yep, complacency is like stagnant water ... more likely to breed infected mosquitoes (yuck!) #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@LeadWithGiants A10. Check their tickets (lol)! #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@DanVForbes A10. Great leaders know which people can do what vis-a-vis their purpose ... #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@tonyrichards4 Yep, leaders know the purpose for each seat, and which people belong to which seat. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@mark_wager Yes, sometimes the leader has to sit among the passengers, or in the back of the bus. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@TheSmartChic @DanVForbes Yes, yes, leaders have to make sure the right people are in the bus to begin with. #LeadWithGiants
— RonVillejoConsulting (@RonVillejoPhD) September 9, 2013

@TheSmartChic @DanVForbes ... and the wrong people are not on the bus. #LeadWithGiants
