H3 Leadership: Be humble, Stay Hungry and Always Hustle. It’s a book filled with insight from over 2 decades of work and expertise as a leader. The author, Brad Lomenick, shares his hard-earned encounters on the best way to develop a fantastic leadership habit and put it to use because there’s a difference between knowing and doing. Knowing that a habit takes time to develop, he designed a plan which might assist leaders, both from the organization and outside world, to develop a consistent habit which produces great leadership results. Leading tends to be more comfortable than leadership. Leadership is constant work. It is put into practice every day in the work we do, the tasks we take responsibility for, the patterns we produce and it hangs on the success we might stumble upon.

Brad makes his readers understand the 20 most important habits to cultivate as a leader and orders them into 3 segments: BE HUMBLE, STAY HUNGRY, ALWAYS HUSTLE.

Segment #1: BE HUMBLE

Habit #1 – Self-Discovery: Know who you are.

Habit #2 – Openness: Share the real you with others.

Habit #3 – Meekness: Remember it’s not about you.

Habit #4 -Conviction: Stick to your own principles.

Habit #5  – Faith: Prioritize your day, so God is first.

Habit #6 – Assignment: Stay out of your calling.

 

Segment #2 – STAY HUNGRY

Habit #7 – Ambition: Develop an appetite for what’s bull.

Habit #8 – Curiosity: Keep learning.

Habit #9 – Passion: Love what you do.

Habit #10 – Innovation: Stay current, creative and engaged.

Habit #11 – Inspiration: Nurture a vision for a better tomorrow.

Habit #12 – Bravery: Take calculated risks.

 

Segment #3 – ALWAYS HUSTLE

Habit #13 – Excellence: Establish standards that frighten you.

Habit #14 – Stick-with-it-ness: Take the long view.

Habit #15 – Execution: Dedicate to completion.

Habit #16 – Team Building: Create an environment which attracts and keeps the best and brightest.

Habit #17 – Partnership: Collaborate with co-workers and competitors.

Habit #18 – Margin: Nurture far healthy rhythms.

Habit #19 – Generosity: Leave the world a better location.

Habit #20 – Succession: Locate power in passing the baton.

Briefly about self-discovery; nurturing the habit of self-discovery entails becoming intentional about your daily life rhythms by listening to your life, observing your attitudinal patterns and setting your personal life apart from your professional assignment. Self-discovery is a position you cultivate intentionally not a clinic you finish. Trust me, individuals will choose to follow a leader who is always real over a leader who is always right. The next generation will be attracted to a leader’s realness rather than a leader’s riches. Jeff stated, and I quote “The more sway you make, the more you have to lose, the less likely you are to be exposed and share your own battle.” Humble leaders are leaders, they make it about others and stay approachable.

The best leaders according to Jeff are principled leaders. They understand the differences between principle and personal preferences and are willing to encourage the right things and stand against the wrong things. These leaders protect their reputation, value and conscience, developing the habit of conviction. It is doing what’s right rather than what’s easy, being effective and not only efficient. And the further you go, the higher you climb as a leader and guess what?… the harder it gets. Talent and ability get you to the top but what keeps you there is integrity and character. Nothing comes easy.

If you are not learning, you are not leading; if you are not growing, you are not going. At the point when it gets interesting, it is vital for you to be interested. Passion takes you farther.

Leadership is a choice, not a position. Listen to your followers to make an influence. People follow who they trust and not the position.

 

THE BIG THREE – KEY POINTS

Keypoint #1: The best leaders are leaders with principles and integrity.

Keypoint #2: When it gets interesting, it is crucial you are interested.

Keypoint #3: Talent and ability can take you to the top but what keeps you there is character and integrity.

One Last Thing

Hustle beats talent when talent doesn’t hustle. So, stay hungry, stay foolish.
