DiMaio's Leadership trait #9. Enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is showing sincere interest and eagerness in performing your work. To develop enthusiasm in others, you should:
- Consistently exhibit a positive attitude to others.
- Emphasize other's successes.
- Encourage others to overcome any obstacles which they encounter.
Orrin Woodward, co-author of "Leading the Consumer Rebellion", and "Launching a Leadership Revolution" has enthusiam in spades. He doesn't just do the three points mentioned above....he lives them. He lives the books "How I Raised Myself From Failure To Success in Selling" and "How to Have Confidence and Power in Dealing with People". What's one of Frank Bettger's biggest principles? Enthusiasm. You can't have enough.
And check out Chapter 6 of "...Confidence and Power...."which talks about the "3 A's". This is Orrin Woodward. Wonder why he has such a big team? You'll have a big team too when you learn to live the principles set forth in these books as well as Orrin has.
