LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLE #3: DEVELOP A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY AMONG YOUR SUBORDINATES
When a leader shares with her followers the need to accept responsibility for their actions the leader is well on her way to creating GREAT leaders. A leader that not only creates a sense of responsibility among his subordinates but also holds them accountable to that responsibility is showing his followers they matter.
Leadership is a lonely task but when you are creating and developing a sense of responsibility among your subordinates, you are far from lonely. Creating your follower’s sense of responsibility is one of those times that Leaders and Followers work together to make something good happen. Good things happen when dialogue between a leader and his follower occurs. The leader’s intent (to instill a sense of responsibility) is conveyed to his subordinates and their interpretation is convey back to the leader.
Be a leader that not only welcomes her followers to accept responsibility for their actions but a leader that expects her followers to learn from their successes as well as their failures as part of accepting responsibility.

LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLE #2: BE TECHNICALLY AND TACTICALLY PROFICIENT
Know your job. Know your job to the point that you can do it in your sleep. Then once you can do it in your sleep learn to do it an entirely different manner. Your proficiency with what you do is what will set you above and beyond others. As a leader, the pinnacle of leadership is not only being above and beyond your peers but using that technical and tactical proficiency to help others reach your level. See that proficiency is NOT something that should be horded.
Oh no, while popular belief will have you thinking that one leader is enough. Imagine a group, a company, an organization full of leaders that are the top of their game. Those leaders then do everything they can to create new leaders by sharing their skills and knowledge with their followers. Teaching others is how leaders become great leaders. Your followers deserve you at your greatest!
