2007Sweet Success: 12 Proven Habits of Winning Leaders Accuconference

By Andrew Clogg

I recently read a great book on entrepreneurship / leadership. Bill Byrd, CEO of Super Suppers, says that working hard is important, but so is working wisely, kindly, and with integrity. I was very pleased with the emphasis he put on ethics and values.

I think you will profit from the habits mentioned in this book, and so will the people who cross your path.

Here is a brief outline of the 12 proven habits:

1. Make sure everyone’s talking
2. Lead rather than manage
3. Keep everyone on the same path
4. Put good work ahead of money
5. Always think of the core customer
6. Don’t try to go it alone
7. Never rest on your laurels
8. Earn credibility every day
9. Welcome small failures
10. Pursue new ideas, no matter how heavy the current demands
11. Let passion fuel your work
12. Embrace the power of humility
