7 PRINCIPLES OF HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE LEADERS
When I graduated from high school, my father and I climbed Mount Hood in Oregon. Mount Hood is Oregon’s highest peak and forms a prominent backdrop to the state’s largest city, Portland. The summit’s height is 11,249 ft. Before we started the day’s climb at 4:30 am, my father said: “Steve, everything worthwhile in life is uphill.”
When you choose uphill climbing in life and leadership, the following things usually happen:
- You start to recognize it takes time.
- You realize you have to make sacrifices.
- You face more than one potential quitting point.
- It builds self-respect.
- It provides forward momentum.
- Self-improvement increases.
- Purpose and fulfillment expand.
Here are 7 Principles of Highly Productive Leaders, who are on an uphill trajectory.
“Everything worthwhile is uphill.”
