Pay the Bill for Leadership Capital – This episode revolves around how as leaders we must be aware of our humility and the group dynamics of those within our charge, which enables our ability to pay the unspoken bill of earning your spot as their leader. Additionally, paying this bill will also create some leadership capital which is a massive generator of influence in our organizations for further growth and performance.
 
“All the effective leaders I have encountered – both those I worked with and those I merely watched – knew four simple things: a leader is someone who has followers; popularity is not leadership results are; leaders are highly visible, they set examples; leadership is not rank, privilege, titles or money, it is responsibility.” – Peter Drucker
 
Paying the bill is being aware of humility and group dynamics. Remember, humility is not a weakness but instead it is a strength.
 
Paying the bill is not “Likership”, instead it is doing what is right by the organization and people. Sometimes rules are bent, but standards have to be set.
 
5 Factors of Individual Domain of Leadership Rating index:
Personal Proficiency
Strategist
Executor
People Manager
Leadership Differentiator
 
You have to make sure you do not become Draconian in your leadership.
 
When ensuring to meet the 5 Factors of Individual Domain of Leadership:
Realize you have ownership
Vision & Communication
Get Stuff Done as Stated
Create an Atmosphere of Trust, Performance, Standards, and Competence
Walk the Talk
 
To Pay the Bill for Leadership Capital there are 5 Factors of Organizational Culture you should meet:
Cultural Capability – How we put others before our self
Talent Management – How we hire according to talents and develop inside and outside those talents.
Performance Accountability – What reinforces doing good or Bad? Additionally, Create Excitement to get even more buy-in.
Information Flow (Communication) – Open dialogue help, lack of talk incubates failure!
Work on how we go about Daily Practices – This includes initiating needed change for the Greater Good.

It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
