1. Lead by Example

Alexander the Great never separated himself from the rest of his army. When they celebrated, he celebrated. When they suffered, he suffered with them.

A true leader leads from the front, by example.

2. Be Persistent

The only way to get what you desire in life is to fight for it. The fighting doesn’t stop until you’ve achieved your goal.

That requires persistence.

Go after what you want until you’ve caught it firmly with both hands and a tight grip.

3. Be Intelligent and Charismatic

For Alexander the Great intelligence was important, but charisma was just as important.

Intelligence would help you put together the strategy, but it is with charisma that you get people to believe in your vision, and carry it out for you.

4. Assemble a Dream Team

Alexander knew that a successful and talented leader needs a foundation to carry him. He always had a well-qualified team of Generals and strategists around him.

He delegated when he needed to, and allowed them to do their work without interference.

5. Win the War of the Minds

You must beat your opponent at the war of the minds, or the psychological warfare.

This theory is well implemented in business and in life, as entering a negotiation The game of “psyching your opponent out” is a game very few can master.
