LEADERSHIP SECRETS OF ATTILA THE HUN

Wess Roberts, PhD

"Universal Ruler"

406-453

"A chieftan's office is accepted by all as a position of greater privilages because of increased responsibilities"

LEADERSHIP

QUALITIES

"As we gather in this counsel, I Attila have prepared my innermost thoughts regarding leadership qualities. There is no quick way to develop leaders... never cease as students"

1-LOYALTY

disagreement is not necessarily disloyalty

2- COURAGE

Chieftains who lead our Huns must have courage. They must be fearless and have the foritude to carry out assignments given them - the gallantry to accept the risks of leadership"

3- DESIRE

"Few Huns will sustain themselves as chieftains without strong personal desire - an inherent commitment to influencing people, processes and outcomes"

4- EMOTIONAL STAMINA

"We must ensure that our leaders at every level have the stamina to recover rapidly from disappointment - to bounce back from discouragement"

5-PHYSICAL STAMINA

"CHIEFTAINS CANNOT LEAD FROM THEIR BEDSIDE"

6- EMPATHY

"Chieftains must develop empathy - an appreciation for and an

understanding of the values of others, a sensitivity for other

cultures, beliefs and traditions...

empathy must not be confused

with sympathy"

7- DECIsiveness

"young chieftains must learn to be decisive, knowing when to act

and when not to act, taking into account all facts bearing on the

situation and then responsibly carrying out thier leadership role"

8- ANTICIPATION

"Learning by observation and through instincts sharpened by tested experience, our chieftains must anticipate thoughts, actions and consequence"

9- TIMING

"Essential to all acts of leadership is the timing of recommendations and actions... no magic formula for developing a sense of timing... Apply the lessons learned through failure"

10-COMPETITIVENESS

“An essential quality of leadership is an intrinsic desire to win….the important contests…A leader without a sense of competitiveness is weak and easily overcome by the slightest challenge."

11- SELF-CONFIDENCE

“Proper training and experience develops in chieftains a personal feeling of assurance with which to meet the inherent challenges of leadership”

12-ACCOUNTABILITY

“Chieftains must never heap praise or lay blame on others for what they themselves achieve or fail to accomplish, no matter how glorious or grave the consequences”

13- RESPONSIBILITY

“No king, chieftain or subordinate leader should ever be allowed to serve who will not accept full responsibility for his actions”

14-CREDIBILITY

“Chieftains must be credible. Their words and actions must be believable to both friend and foe. They must be trusted to have the intelligence and integrity to provide correct information.”

15-TENACITY

“The quality of unyielding drive to accomplish assignments is a desirable and essential quality of leadership”

16-DEPENDABILITY

“If a chieftain cannot be depended upon in all situations to carry out his roles and responsibilities, relieve him of them”

17- STEWARDSHIP

“Our leaders must have the essential quality of stewardship, a caretaker quality.”

“Without a flock there can be no shepherd. Without an army there can be no battle captain. Leaders are,…caretakers of the interests and well-being of those and the purposes they serve”

"Without a flock there can be no shepherd. Without an arMY there can be no battle captain. Leaders are, ... caretakers of the interests and well-being of those and the purposes they serve"

"Those of you who are overly ambitious may attempt to acquire these qualities over a short period. As I, Attila, have found in my own life, these qualities of leadership simply take time, learning and experience to develop. Learn these leadership qualities well"

"So you ask Attila how you might know if you possess sufficient desire to be a chieftain? To those who wish my counsel, I offer these thoughts"

Attila qualities:

determination,patienCE, maturITY

"RESPONSIBILITIES OF A CHIEFTAIN

THE ESSENTIALS OF DECISIVENESS

valor is guided by prudence

accept responsibility of office - be it great or small

don't blame others for your decisions

CUSTOMS:

Huns: people of vast differences,

common virtues, honor, loyalty

"If Huns do not learn the rules, their chieftains cannot expect them to be followed"

MORALE and DISCIPLINE

These are central to unity

discipline builds inner confidence, therefore morale

"There is no simple pattern by which morale and discipline can be attained. These critical secrets to your success as leaders are rather an awerness - an attitude - by which you carry out the charge of your office"

SELECTED THOUGHTS OF ATTILA

"A Chieftain who asks the wrong questions always hears the wrong answers"

"A wise chieftain never asks a question for which he doesn't want to hear the answer"

"Chieftains should never rush into confrontations"

"The ability to make difficult decisions separates chieftains from the huns"

"If it were easy to be a chieftain, everyone would be one"

"Strong chieftains stimulate and inspire the performance of their huns"

"Do not expect everyone to agree with you - even if you are king"

"Do not try to conform everyone's behavior unless doing so is critical to tribal discipline or purpose"

3- DESIRE
