Leading those who have to follow you as a leader because of reporting relationships can be challenging enough for any leader.  But what about those times when a leader is asked to lead a group of people who >don't report to the leader?  It's times like this when true leaders jump to the head of the class.  A leader who can get his point across with clarity, inspiration, and passion can motivate teams to deliver great results regardless of the reporting relationship.

 This part contains three truths, as follows:

• Truth 53: Seven attributes to avoid if you want people to follow you - Arrogance, indecisiveness, disorganization, stubbornness, negativism, cowardice, and untrustworthiness.  Seven attributes which make all the difference between great leaders and mediocre managers. 

• Truth 54: Credibility humps get smoothed through learning - Great leaders understand that learning never stops throughout their careers.  Learning is important particularly when a leader needs to establish credibility with a new team in a new area. 

• Truth 55: Being partial breeds distrust - When leading cross-organizational teams, leaders need to demonstrate the utmost in impartiality and show the team they don't sit in any one camp.  A partial leader means the team will never get to a period of trust with the leader or each other.
