    4 Ways to Be a Leader WhoMattersLeaders who build lasting legacies don't do so overnight. For long termimpact, a leader must be reflective and thoughtful.

    Thomas Barwick/Getty

    The greatest need we face in business today is leadership that makes real, positive

    change in the long term.

    Because of the financial market's short-term focus on results, the media's need to fill

    columns with stories linked to current events, and a culture that fetes celebrity, we

    reward the new, the counter-intuitive and the loud.

    And yet the most important challenges we face are none of these things.

    Our greatest challenge is to to build companies that grow and are profitable in the long

    term, which provide valuable and rewarding employment, and which contribute to a

    just and fair society.

    Achieving this requires leaders who are prepared to do more than simply rush to the

    next opportunity and extract the maximum short-term gain. Leaders who think, actand value the long-term. Leaders who change lives, and who leave a legacy.

    I get to spend every day with leaders from businesses of all sizes and types, and over

    the years I've come to believe that most want to do just this, but find it hard to break

    free from the insistent demands of the urgent, to focus on the quieter needs of what is

    important and lasting.

    I've also watched as many have achieved true greatness--those who have become

    leaders who changed industries, cities, lives. Here are the four steps I've seen all of

    them take, in becoming a leader who makes a difference:

    1. Find a place of solitude.

    Every great leader needs a place where they can think. Somewhere away from the

    constant clatter of incoming information, somewhere quiet, somewhere contemplative.

    A blessed few leaders have the mental strength to achieve this state of abstraction

    anywhere--in a crowded office, or anytime during the hurly-burly of a busy day.

    The rest of us need to work at it.

    For me, walking my dogs twice a day gives me the time I need to think consciously,

    unpolluted by the dopamine-inducing ping of incoming email or the lure of

    conversation (tip: leave the cell phone behind or switch it off). Other leaders I know

    use a visit to the gym, the act of making a meal, or have a favorite chair in a quiet

    room.

    Where's your place of solitude?

    2. Discover your contemplation trigger.

    Solitude is a worthwhile state in and of itself, but we're considering it here as a vehicle-

    -a means to think clearly and deeply about matters of importance. But with all the

    manifold possibilities, with the myriad of issues that press in on us every day, what

    should we spend time thinking about in more detail?

    It's alarmingly easy to emerge from an hour of solitude to discover that our lizard brain

    has hopscotched from topic to topic, or dwelt on matters of (merely) tactical

    importance. Here's what I use as my "contemplation trigger": "What is the single

    greatest challenge I face today that will profoundly affect the success of my

    enterprise one year from now?"

    The one-year horizon works for me in most cases because of the nature of my business.

    However, at least once a year, I set aside a week's contemplation to dwell on a three-

    year horizon. (Your mileage may vary.)

    3. Get beyond instant gratification.

    We live in a time of instant gratification. Read something semi-interesting? Post it on

    Twitter. Saw something funny? Share a photo on Instagram. Cute cat trick? Hop onFacebook. Formed an opinion about something? Write a blog post.

    Leadership, especially leadership in the long term, requires us to forgo instant

    gratification. Not simply as a repudiation of a banal, I-share-therefore-I-am zeitgeist,

    but because reflection and contemplation are the compost of great ideas and the

    genesis of deep commitment.

    Time is the most precious resource you can give to your leadership. The sacrifice of

    time--choosing to pause, and investing in reflection--is the price we pay to build the

    depth of leadership that leaves behind a legacy, and not just a fast-vanishing footprint.

    I like the "rule of 90": Wait 90 seconds before sharing the brilliant idea that just struck

    you in mid-discussion; take 90 minutes before sending that email with your no-brainertactical instruction; allow 90 hours (four days) for strategic thoughts to percolate; give

    the gift of 90 days for truly game-changing ideas to take root.

    Does this mean abandoning your intuition and forgoing on-the-spot improvisation? Of

    course not, but like any great sports team, your no-huddle offense will deliver long-

    term success only with the discipline and solid foundation of well-planned, well-

    rehearsed, well-executed plays.

    4. Model more than you share.

    In the over-sharing culture we live in, we're in danger of forgetting that leadership

    comes through leading, not by telling.

    Seeing it isn't doing it. Sharing it isn't doing it. Only doing it is doing it.

    Try this: Next time you see a leadership need in your organization--whether it's about

    how people should be treated (customers, clients or employees); how you

    communicate internally or externally; or what your long-term mission, vision or values

    are--try modeling the change you want to see withoutthe use of emails, memos or

    powerpoint presentations.

    See how long it takes your people to recognize and understand what you want from

    them, without merely telling them. To revitalize a much-cheapened saying: Be the

    change you desire.

    Don't have time to model change? Thinking, "Great idea, but it's easier and quicker to

    send a memo."? That's fine. No one will die and the sun will come up tomorrow. But

    remember, you're leaving behind footprints on a beach when you could be changing

    lives.

    Good article. One of the first I've read which says to take a step back...away from the clutter...away

    from the noise. I've been crticized for being unreachable at times...taking time without cell phones and

    constant contact..."CEOs cannot escape that". Baloney... weigh in when it makes a difference. I do my

    best thinking (i.e., work) when at the gym.

    Nice to see the need for contemplation addressed. Only in these quiet moments does creativity bubble

    to the surface. And, creative thinking is another leadership skill. It would have been nice to see a

    creative take on the photo to this insightful article. The old wise white man is clich and not necessarily

    expansive.

    World's Coolest Offices 30 Under 30 Founders Forum How I Did It The Playbook

    I enjoyed the article, specially the need for solitude. My place is my bicycle and everybody knows that

    when I ride I always come back with new ideas and positive energy :-)

    I, by accident, read the 4 Ways to be a Leader trailer on this site and must admit in my experience this

    is a just another book on not facing how to do business. Business is people, sales people are human,

    customers are people and if they do not like the sales people then they simply do not buy.

    There is no magic phsyco babble to this - When will the pretend Authors & Business successes of

    these so called books get it.Read Steve Covey - Simple - Usefull and to the point

    I enjoyed this post, thanks. I interview a CEO a few weeks back who wanted to introduce a day of

    "maun vrat" into his days.... a very similar concept, reasoning and motivation to what you've written

    about. http://akascia.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-secret-life-of-ceo.html

    I wish it wasn't so rare to see people talk about excellence in the long term and creating a legacy

    through great work. Love this post.
