Great Leaders v. Average Leaders



Great Leaders v. Average Leaders
The secret to leadership is there are no secrets!


Leaders should be constantly bettering themselves in these 5 areas:

1. Find a Purpose – makes the transition from average to great easy!
2. Put People First – not everything is about you
3. Develop Awareness – especially of one’s own knowledge
4. Shun Complexity – less is more
5. Get Personal – understand the value of a quality relationship

A Leader without followers is just walking.

The Philosophy of Winning


Why do you like winning?

Gives you drive/motivation
Feels good/accomplishing
Shiny trophies/prizes
Recognition
Better than losing



Philosophy of winning:

The will to prepare to win = Putting the effort in that others won’t.

To be great at what you do, it’s a daily routine

Everyone most likely wants to be successful at one point or another, but we forget how much it takes the will to prepare to win.

Dubliner born and raised, I just came to the U.S recently.

Sports and Exercise Management in UCD (Dublin).

What are you interested in outside of work?
1. Sports: watching and playing all kinds of sport mainly Gaelic football and hurling, soccer, cycling and watersports like sailing and surfing.
