Ten Principles of Good Leadership

by Lenora Murdock

Leadership is second nature for some people. Others learn principles of leadership through education and try to apply their knowledge in the world of work. Some learn the principles of leadership in the school of hard knocks. Learning leadership can be a difficult process, but the benefits of the knowledge gained can never be lost when leadership knowledge has been hard won.

I've learned leadership each of the three ways. Often, I learned things in books, written by experienced leaders, but chose to try things my own way. When I failed I realized the wisdom of those who have led before. Trying new leadership styles is not always a bad thing; innovation always comes about because of innovation and thoughtful change.

There are, however, some indisputable facts that no good leader should overlook. A compendium of leadership skills would take volumes. However, below are ten principles that a good leader should not ignore.

Leadership Principle: #1: Be prepared.

Regardless of the task or role set before you it is your job as leader to be prepared. That means learning as much as possible about your department, your role in the organization, and the expectations of your superiors.
