Paula Landino, Chairman 50, dished out her leadership nuggets on the Chairman Mentorship, today, Sunday, July 5. Their simplicity and timelessness are what really struck me. I loved her energy throughout the presentation; despite the pauses when her wisdom was translated from Spanish to English. She closed off the call with gratitude for a number of people, a practice that I do applaud. She also reminds the participants to never, never quit your dreams, especially when you have an opportunity like IM Mastery to help make them possible. Here are my takeaways:
Growth is the ultimate activity of any business and in order to do so, leaders must have a team. Teams allow for the duplication of efforts and as a result, the duplication of the desirable results. Of course, “everything rises and falls on leadership,” according to renowned leadership coach, John C Maxwell. And, good leaders tend to create better environments in which others are able to thrive. Landino identify some of the activities that good leaders engage in, activities that allow them to create great environments and as a result, tremendous growth.

Influence is a skill that all leaders should work on developing because sometimes people need motivation and direction. Because the leader creates the vision, he or she now needs to instill it into his or her team. Once it is a part of team’s heart, it will direct the activity of each individual. This alignment or unity is beneficial as it ensures that the vision is accomplished. Thus influence is important and strategic.
