Sound familiar? If so, then the opportunity to take action and change your path is now here. Get ready to unleash your true identity as a leader, become relevant in your industry, leverage your unique capabilities, and advance your career.

If you take a look at what makes successful leaders – regardless of the industry – you will find strong similarities in the way they lead. Effective leaders are thought leaders in their industry, have learned the mastery of anticipating business patterns, find opportunities in pressure situations, serve the people they lead, dedicate themselves to making people better, and overcome hardships. Possessing these skills has landed many in the C-suite, so it’s no wonder that salaries for the 200 top-paid CEOs rose 5% to a median $14.5 million per year, according to a study by compensation-data company Equilar for The New York Times.

Luckily for aspiring and ambitious executives, leadership is a learned behavior that becomes unconscious and automatic over time. For example, leaders – who stand out from the crowd – make several important decisions about an issue in the time it takes others to understand the question. The most successful leaders are instinctual decision makers. Having done it so many times throughout their careers, they become immune to the pressure associated with decision making and the management of people and are extremely intuitive about the process of making the most strategic and best decisions.

Beyond decision making, successful leadership across all areas becomes learned and instinctual over a period of time. Understanding and trusting your brand as a leader, maximizing your sphere of influence, enhancing your executive presence, being acutely aware of how others perceive you, learning how to deliver a message that inspires others into action, operating through the lens of opportunity, and leading with a generous purpose all for the betterment of the healthier whole – are just some of the facets of great leaders.

As the saying goes, “Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.” Here’s to taking the first step on the path towards success and significance.

Embrace the Approach

Our approach, developed by Forbes leadership contributing writer, former C-suite executive, and entrepreneur, Glenn Llopis, is centered on helping you first employ an “immigrant mindset” in order to develop yourself as a leader. Consider this. When an immigrant arrives to a new country, it is their values that enables them to adapt, reinvent themselves and ultimately thrive in a new country, a new culture, and a new set of challenges. Did you know that 40% of the Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children? Why? Because they established their leadership identity, they trusted themselves, and they found a way to navigate and doing more with less along the way. They followed a set of guiding principles that makes their impact sustainable. That's exactly the type of 21st century leadership needed to be successful in today’s fast-paced and increasingly global marketplace. The following represent the six characteristics that define the 21st century leader that will be essential for executives to evolve into great leaders: 

• See Opportunity in Everything
