I asked each of these leaders a single question about healthy leadership:

What healthy habits do you attribute to your success as a leader?

Their answers fell into 3 categories: Physical health, mental health, and spiritual health. These 3 areas of health are critical to your success and I’m glad to see a recurring theme among the answers.

I’m thankful to each of the over 50 leaders that responded and were willing to be a part of this expert roundup. I believe their insights into healthy habits of leaders will inspire you to find your own.

6 Leaders You Should Know

1. Brian Dodd:

Brian’s been a good friend of mine for quite a few years. Originally, Dan Black introduced me to him. Then, I had the pleasure of meeting Brian in person at a Catalyst Conference.

I’ve followed Brian and have really enjoyed his perspective on leadership. He uses sports, movies, and more to share leadership wisdom.

You can check him out at his website.

2. Paul Sohn:

Paul’s another person I had the pleasure of our first in-person meeting being at Catalyst. It’s a melting pot of church leadership.

But the reason I include Paul on my list is because he’s reaching out to the millennial generation. That’s where his heart lies, that’s where he puts his effort into.

How Memorizing Quotes Helped Bolster My Leadership

Since I was a freshman in college, I developed a habit that most would find rather unusual. I collected things. It wasn’t your typical collection of stamps, spoons or baseball cards. I’ve been an avid collector of quotes – words spoken or written by leaders who were beyond themselves and left a dent in this universe.

A book full of quotes

As I look in hindsight, many of these quotes have made an indelible impact in my life, shaping my perspective in life.

For instance, Oscar Wilde was known for saying

Be yourself; everyone else is taken.

When I first encountered this quote, it struck a nerve at me. At that time, I was trying to be someone else. In fact, I was trying to imitate someone I highly admired. The more I tried to fabricate my identity based on imitation, the more I felt empty and inauthentic. Wilde’s words were a profound reminder for me to discover my true voice and my unique gifts and talents.
