| Greetings!
People will not follow an unenthusiastic leader. They will follow someone who has a vision and is passionate about it. Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela showed great passion for what they believed - it was what made them outstanding leaders.
Focus on the things that you want to change, the most important challenges you face and be passionate about overcoming them. Your energy and drive will translate into direction and inspiration for your people.

| Conceive a Different Business Model |
|
Is there a completely different way to operate in your business? If all your competitors are using a broadly similar approach, is there an entirely separate approach that could deliver what your customers want?  In the 1980s the leading manufacturers of Personal Computers were companies such as IBM, Compaq, Toshiba, Hewlett Packard and Olivetti. They operated a similar model. They built PCs to standard specifications and then shipped them to dealers who sold to end-users. Michael Dell conceived a different model. He allowed end-users to specify the exact configuration they wanted (e.g. memory, disk size, special function cards etc) and then built it to order. The Dell PC was then shipped direct to the customer who could get telephone support to help set it up.
