Successful People

Psychiatrist Sidney Lecker did an extensive study of highly successful executives. He found an interesting set of attitudes and traits that were common to these leaders.

1. They are persistent and don't wilt with failure, rejection or time.
2. Are unafraid of bigness.
3. Set simple objectives.
4. Identify key data and actions for meeting objectives.
5. Can carry complex, abstract ideas through to realization.
6. Search for facts and weigh them.
7. Take calculated risks.
8. Take total responsibility.
9. Have no guilt or fear about success.
10. Love the process of success; seeking, achieving, savoring it.
11. Are in command of their inner resources: intelligence, creativity, and emotional strengths. AOnce people take command of their inner resources," Lecker says, "They experience more success and less stress than others who live less challenging lives."
