Rule 1: Think strategically. Nothing is a better recipe for success than to plan your activities carefully and to act according to a clear strategic plan. \n\nOne of the reasons why promising politicians fail, is the lack of strategic planning. Strategic planning in politics means that you set yourself a clear and measurable objective and define your target image, i.e. how you want to be seen by your voters at the end of an election campaign or your term in office.  Analyze the situation, in particular your strengths and weaknesses with regard to what extent they influence your chances to reach your objective.  Define those issues, messages, target groups and means of communication, which can best support your efforts and focus your resources on those activities, which will lead to success.\n\nThe advantage of strategic planning is that it helps you to focus your ideas, activities and resources upon one single objective: your success.  Nothing you do happens by accident.  Everything becomes a means towards one end:  success.  While strategic planning is regularly applied in the military field and in business, for many politicians it is still an alien thing to do.  Some prefer to leave everything they do to “creativity”, “political instinct“ or “political experience”.\n\nOr they simply trust upon the good-will and the wisdom of the voters who somehow will recognize and reward quality.  In practice, the lack of strategic planning leads to unclear messages, a wishy-washy profile, the waste of scarce resources, the demotivation of supporters and finally to defeat.\n\nHowever, it is not enough to undergo a process of strategic planning.  Once a strategy has been developed it must be carried through.  It goes without saying that changes in the environment can force you to adapt or even redefine your strategy to new conditions.  Indeed constant checking is a central feature of strategic planning.  But then the adapted or redefined strategy must be carried through.  Many politicians who embark upon strategic planning like to apply only those elements of the strategy which suit them.  This cannot work if strategic planning is done properly.\n\n In this case, all elements of the strategy are interlinked and no part can be removed or ignored without damaging the whole.  However, your opponents’ unwillingness to plan strategically is to your advantage.  Somebody who has a precise plan and acts in a targeted way is always more likely to succeed than somebody who is guided by spontaneity.  Finally, do not publish your strategy.  Keep it secret.  For if your political opponents know your strategy, they will try everything to neutralize it.  \n\nRule 2: Do not just plan for victory. Know and tell your voters what you will do with your victory. \n\nOne of the most surprising facts about politicians is that they never really seem to understand that voters expect from them immediate and tangible benefits for themselves.  Often politicians only speak about what they want to achieve for themselves, i.e. to become President, Member of Parliament or City Councilor.  They assume that the reason behind their personal ambition is self-explanatory to the voters.  Voters, they think, will take for granted that once in office I will work hard for them.\n\nThis assumption, however, is wrong.  Do not expect that voter will automatically trust you only because you are a noble and well-meaning Liberal.  Take into account that many voters distrust politicians.  They believe that all politicians are selfish.  Politicians, they suspect, do not look after their voters but after their own interests.  You must therefore explain to your potential voters why they should send you and not somebody else into the President's Office, to Parliament or to the City Council.\n\nYour personal ambitions or your personal credentials and convictions do not mean anything to the average voter.  Voters want to know before an election what exactly you will do for th

"charisma contributes unique variance to performance after the effects of contigent reward are considered"\n\nwhat it boils down to is this: people who are real leaders will always "just be able to" motivate their people more than someone who is just going through the motions - even when they are doing the motions by the book :)

Steve Jobs is a good example. He came back to Apple and turned the company around. (Earned two billion dollars in the process!).\n\nLeadership is important because when implementing a strategy, your troops have to really trust you and see you personally in action. The leader has to "live" by the values he publicizes, and also has to perform at a high level to set the bar as high as possible for his troops.\n\nThink of Russell Crowe in the movie Gladiator! :-)
