Glasgow Interactive Share Tips To Improve Yourself As A Leader In 2014

GLASGOW, UK, December 2013 – Almost every entrepreneur falls into the pattern of not getting enough sleep, working too hard, and not exercising, even though these things are scientifically proven to make you happier. Instead we come up with excuses for why we don't have the time for what matters.

Most leaders forget that their lifestyle sets the precedent for their company’s culture. If you value quantity over quality, your team over family, or work over everything else, your team is going to feel stressed and deliver unimaginative work.

So as you think about the next year, make sure to find your way back to the passionate, high energy entrepreneur your team once knew. This transition won't be easy, but there are a few things you can work on every day to be a happier leader in 2014.

Silence Your Phone. When you get home, unplug--especially during dinner and family time. Your significant other will notice because you won't constantly be checking your pocket and actually show up for the conversation.

Hit the Gym. Every week you should exercise most days even if you have to wake up early and go to bed an hour earlier. If you're going after work, bring your workout clothes with you.

Be Vulnerable. The best leaders are incredibly vulnerable. They are willing to share their deepest fears, show their emotions, and tell stories that go well beyond the company to their heart.

Get More Rest. This is by far the most neglected aspect of any entrepreneur's life, despite being among the most important. Taking naps and having a consistent sleep pattern matters.

Travel. A lot of people become entrepreneurs because of the freedom in lifestyle. But once you started running a company, you chose to work constantly. It may be agonizing to walk away from your office, but taking vacations is healthy for you and everyone in your life. Remember, when you look back on your life, the stories you tell will be about your adventures--not the time spent in front of a laptop.

Find Things That Inspire You. If you want to inspire others, you've got to inspire yourself. Find it through reading, writing, discovering pictures, and traveling.

Find a Mentor. Almost every leader neglects their own personal development. The greatest value to the company is your strength as a leader.
