These Are the 7 Daily Habits of Natural Born Leaders

They see opportunities where others see challenges

We all have the same information in front of us; the question is what we do with it. On a rainy day, you can curse the sky, or take the opportunity to sell umbrellas to those who don’t have them.

Leaders see the opportunity in situations—and more importantly—help others to find it. When an industry is disrupted (iPhones to cameras, Lyft to taxis, AirBnB to standard hotels), that’s because someone saw a better way to do things.

The person who sees forgotten factories on abandoned streets and thinks: Hey, why don’t we grow produce in those spaces? That’s the dreamer who gives rise to entire industries like vertical farming.

And the good news is, you don’t need to be born with this skill, you can build it. Find the opportunity in a situation (especially a tough situation, one that doesn’t make sense). Find the opportunity.
