\u201cWhat makes you a leader?\u201d prominent US businessman and author Tony Robbins asked an audience of 7000\u00a0high-profile tech entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, Robbins says that it’s not just being able to motivate a team.<\/p>\n

\u201cA leader gets results,\u201d Robbins said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do they do it? They maximise resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

Too many entrepreneurs and startup founders blame their failures on generic excuses like lacking courage, not taking action, getting distracted, not having the right people or not having the right leaders, he says.<\/p>\n

But with companies like Salesforce set to creating 1.9 million jobs for San Francisco in the coming years after starting with next to nothing, Robbins said the real reason failure happens is a lack of resourcefulness.<\/p>\n

\u201cResources are never the real problem, we all know that it if we look around,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up dirt poor, we had no money for food.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now Robbins is an active philanthropist and business founder that’s worth half a billion dollars.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour worst experience in your life can become your best,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

With a growing number of people coming into the workforce from a 21st century education environment, Robbins said many enter the field with a lack of energy, personal insight and understanding of their true calling.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re taught to sit down, be quiet, be passive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But with collaboration and discussion between peers a key ingredient of some of the world\u2019s most innovative and fast-growing companies, Robbins said people must \u201cbreak out\u201d of conditioned behaviour and conventional thinking.<\/p>\n

And the secret to being resourceful, he said, comes from some deeply undervalued attributes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s some form of human emotion we\u2019ve learned to value less and less,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCreativity, joy, love, determination, flexibility \u2013 with those things, there\u2019s nothing we can\u2019t get.\u201d<\/p>\n
