When it comes to leadership, there are many temptations leaders avoid each day. They are difficult, but that's what separates them from the pack.

As I've been pitching myself and my services more often, I keep thinking about what I bring to the table when it comes to leadership. I've been telling people I specialize in 3 areas: Marketing | Leadership | Social Media. But the truth is, I feel I'm specialized in a lot more than that.

Great companies let their marketing bleed through their organizations and when I work with someone I want them to know that is my plan for their business. It's a blend of all three ideas, and then some. I'm selling people on my philosophy. This makes me a sales person (already knew that) and a leader since I'm asking people to believe in me.

Even if that doesn't make sense to you, I've compiled a list of some of the temptations leaders avoid since the subject has been on my mind. I hope you enjoy this, and I hope you apply these!
