Leader Ledger

You might be wondering what I mean by the title, leader ledger. Are you a list maker? Do you write important things down so you don't forget? Do you keep a to do list for yourself and schedule all of your meetings? If you do you will like the leader ledger.

A leader ledger is a list but not a to do list. It is a list that contains three things. The first thing a leader ledger contains are your successes, the second thing it contains are ideas and the third thing it should contain is an action plan.

Here is how it should break down for you.

• Every time you have a success in your leader life mark that in the first column on your leader ledger. For example: I am involved in Toastmasters and this year I have served as the Area 21 Governor. I would write that success down for myself.
• Any time you come across an idea or a goal you want to achieve then write that down in the second column of your leader ledger. For Example: If I want to hold another office in Toastmasters I would write that down as an idea or a goal of mine. Or what if you read a great blog that contains ideas that you want to implement as a leader you might write down those ideas and the blog so you can revisit it at a later date.
• The last column is dedicated to your action plan for implementing the ideas or goals that you have. Once that idea or goal has been completed you will be able to move it to the first column on your leader ledger.

The leader ledger is a great way to track your progress as a leader and it will help as you build your leadership resume. Where can you get this leader ledger? Look for something that I will release soon that will serve as your leader ledger. In the meantime if you want to implement this idea use an excel spreadsheet so you will have an easier time moving action plan items to success column.
