Important Leadership Lessons & Leadership Disadvantages

Some people want to lead, some are born to lead and some become leaders. Today I will talk about lessons that you will learn when you are a leader.

Hopefully, other leaders out here will learn from it or start their journey to become leaders.

I have founded the Berserkergang around 5-6 months ago and we are a group of carefully selected people that want to become legends.

We want to become rich, strong and create a new little world for us in this empire of nothing. That means we improve ourselves every damn day.

Every day we strive to make more money than the day before, we learn every day and we do sports on a regular basis.

My vision for the Berserkers is to build a place for the gang on a property that I bought in the forest to honor the Norse gods, to celebrate, to lift weights and to pressure and help each other to improve ourselves together.

Lesson #1 - Taking the L for the Greater Good

As a leader, you will have to shove your ego aside in some matters as the group is bigger than you alone, sure you are the founder and leader but if you throw ego fits the group will not grow and your members will resent you.

You have to be open-minded and your ego needs to be so strong that you realize that "taking the L" is the better decision and then you follow through.

Lesson #2 - Lead by Example

To be a leader you will have to be a master of your craft. If you have no specialized knowledge about anything why should other people follow you?

You are not inspiring them, you don't give them a reason to join you. If you say that you are going to be rich then you have to show them that you put the work in every day and that you make good progress every day.

I got to reputation 60 in 3 months by posting every day without no investment, I don't know anyone that can say the same. Besides that I have I have a lot of knowledge because I was the leader of other virtual groups in the past as well and I have often taken leadership positions in my life.

In other words, I do what I say I do and I succeed in it, everybody can see the results. I lift heavy, I read regularly and I make cash quickly.

Lesson #3 - Make Tough Decisions

You have to think carefully what decisions you make because other people will resent you for them and some will love you for them, however, they impact your whole group and you want to make sure that it is the best decision for the future.

If you constantly make decisions based on your ego and against the betterment of the group the people will start to hate you and it can cause a rebellion.

So make sure the people love and fear you (with fear I mean that you consequently deal with bad behavior and situations).

Lesson #4 - You Have to Keep Order

My inspiration Paul Waggener says that only 1 out of 15 people become a member of his group and that is good.

You don't want to have low standards because that attracts lowly people and it leads to nothing.

You will have to kick constant rebels, idiots, gossipers, lazy people, pretenders and basically every person whose characteristics are not acceptable in your group.

And deal with those quickly before you have a legit rebellion on your ass which can destroy your whole team. Besides that everyone will be more productive in a state of order

Lesson #5 - Constantly Strive for Greatness

If you don't pressure and help your members to do better and vice versa then why did you start a group in the first place?

Groups are made to reach a goal faster and if you are slacking around and not leading by example then your members won't take you serious and quit because you are just a bunch of lazy people.

Tell them that they are going to be richer, smarter and stronger if they keep following your rules. The rules in my group are made to pressure them into success.

Yes, it is a little bit like a dictatorship with these rules with the difference that it is for your own personal gain and therefore to make the group in total stronger.

I like that you mention ego. So many people don't understand that leading is actually a self-less act.

Although I think becoming richer is probably the true goal to most, I'm not sure that it's necessary to make that overtly known when leading. Most people will follow and feel inspired when they understand the WHY. What the common goals are, how you're going to get there, but most importantly WHY we want to do it.

People rally behind purpose that's typically bigger and greater than financial gain. When you can do that, lead a group of people with a truly shared common goal that's bigger than money, that makes them feel better as people, they see value in what they do, then you will excel as a leader.

And it is commonly known most highly successful people push themselves physically as well. Glad to hit on that point.

Well done. Upvoted and following

Thank you April, good comment.

I wonder what people thought you were talking about. lol.

Leading is tough. You have to be an example and you have to learn to serve people. In other words like you said get over you and build the team.

Yeah, I wonder as well, public speaking is something that kicks me out of my comfort zone and therefore has to be done regularly with increasing difficulty.

As a leader, you will have to shove your ego aside in some matters as the group is bigger than you alone, sure you are the founder and leader but if you throw ego fits the group will not grow and your members will resent you.

Exactly. I've had an experience of your leadership and it has made us stronger each day.

Thank you Dawn.

There aren't many people who truly want to be leaders, but I believe everyone should have some leader based qualities. It's a difficult position to be in because people will look up to you for advice and mentorship. One bad step and everything can come crashing down. But I love the position that I'm in and I love helping others become more successful. Keep going, @valorforfreedom! You're an inspiration for what is possible!

100%

I'm aiming to improve the making tough choices part. I've seem some impressive handling already for that, and it's pretty much what you have in the picture. I wouldn't say it's so much about love/fear, and more about listing out the pros/cons in priority order and laying it out as the justification for a hard choice.

Sometimes you don't have time to think about it.
Your instinct is often a good guide.
But not always.

all the time as I read your blog, I see that you are progressing and doing it pretty quickly. Your rules in which you keep your group are based on discipline and rigidity, so they will work. Without discipline, a person can not develop confidently. But the most important factor in the development of the group can be a leader who, on a personal example, shows what needs to be done. And you cope with this task every day.

Thank you Franklin.

Excellent

Well it's hard to be leadership sometimes because leader has to manage many people such as organization and if there is problem anywhere he has to face it does not matter who made it :)

your blog also helpful and very nice
thanks for sharing

Improve those comment per day numbers man, those are Rookie numbers! hehe
Cheers!

Haha
You need to stay relaxed.

Today, when you want to be integrated into the business world, you have to be informed about management leadership. Together, these two disciplines cover a large number of areas. Indeed, there is no point in what we will achieve, what we want to accomplish and what we want to achieve. We always have to deal with leadership and management concepts to achieve a given goal. That is why we must always know the distinction between management and leadership, and ask, "What is the difference between management and leadership?". If you are interested in management, leadership and leadership skills, you should be aware that both disciplines are acquired through work, training, experience and personal documentation .

The Video of your sacred place is beautiful.
