Straight Talk About Network Marketing Leaders Part 2

In part one you learned about the first characteristic of an effective network marketer: lead first by serving and loving. Willingness to serve others will encourage and attract others to join you in your endeavors. Effective leadership is not simply about getting to the top, but it is about releasing others to do the same.

The second characteristic of an effective network-marketing leader is gentleness…having a gracious and honorable manner. Gentleness is a characteristic of a “servant leader” but is often missed. Gentleness is not a sign of weakness, but it springs forth from confidence in knowing that you have whatever it takes within you to be an effective leader. It is confidence in knowing who you are and that you put others interests before your own. You do not override someone else’s will, but are respectful of their free will.

A gentle leader inspires confidence in others and draws out the best efforts of the team. People respond more openly to a leader who treats them with kindness and gentleness. Network-marketing leaders with a gentle character are a source of inspiration for their team.

Watch for the third characteristic of an effective network-marketing leader to be posted in a couple of days.
