Consistency
An Alpha is strong, goal oriented, and determined. They are almost like the ground we stand on, strong and steadfast, unwavering in their resolve. No one wants to follow someone who is always changing their mind.
Alphas provide structure and security, and for many people, the unknown of an indecisive person can make them hard to not only follow, but recognize in a leadership role. For people to follow you, you must be consistent in decisions, emotions, and other aspects of your life.
People should know what is acceptable and what is not acceptable to you without pushing your boundaries.

Confidence
If you are the ‘boss’, your employees and the people that interact with your business will see you as that work place’s Alpha by default. Anyone who comes to your premises or interacts with you at work sees you as someone who can lead a group successfully.
The Alpha male’s confidence is what drives him towards success in whatever he does; failure is not an option and it shows in the way that he runs his business. Bringing this stubborn and determined mindset will force you to quit secondguessing your decisions or intentions and encourage the confidence to command respect from everyone around you.
With confidence comes the unrivalled will to win at whatever you set your eyes on, and this will put you far in any career. Alphas know that everything in your life doesn’t happen by chance. Alphas make it happen and his confidence is boosted by his determined attitude and positive way of thinking.

Desire to Protect
As a leader, you don’t look for opportunities to exploit your followers. On the contrary, you go out of your way to make everyone in your sphere of influence a better person and to reassure them that everything is under control.
Strong leaders do this to attract respect and loyalty from the people around them. Your Alpha induced protective instincts should drive you to look after the people under you, and make sure that their situation is as good as it can possibly be to create the strong team (or pack!) around.

Keep Your Ego in Check
When you are a leader, it’s important to understand your role in the work place. An Alpha can collect information, thoughts, and desires from everyone in the work environment, make decisions, and move forward as a whole.
Everyone won’t like your style, and that’s okay. If you’ve laid the ground work of respect, loyalty, honesty, and fairness your pack will move forward with you, even if they don’t like everything you do.
Likewise, it’s important to not feel threatened if someone is better at something than you. As an Alpha in the work place, use those peoples talents to your advantage, to make the entire work team better than it was before.

Quick Tips
Avoid being arrogant. Confident is one thing, maybe even a little cocky, but an overall arrogant personality will turn people off and make them not want to interact with you. Don’t brag. It’s great that you hit a home run, or won an award at work. You don’t, however, need to tell everyone about the accomplishments you’ve done.Find the right time to slip it in to conversation without seeming like you are being a braggart. Alphas aren’t needy, so when you ask for something make sure you give clear, concise details as to what you expect and by when. You don’t need to beg or whine; there’s no need.
You have the best pack, and you trust them to get the project you’ve entrusted to them done the right way the first time. As an Alpha, you like yourself. Putting yourself down makes you look as if you are ‘fishing for compliments’, and that makes you appear desperate.
Likewise, putting other people around you down only makes you look small, weak, and like a bully. Perfectionism isn’t for the Alpha in the work place. It won’t ever be perfect, not even with a million hours invested. Make sure it looks good, represents you, the employees, and the business well, and them move on to the next project.
If you want to survive as the Alpha, you have to be prepared to evolve for the good of your pack. This means that stubborn mentalities don’t help Alphas that are in a leadership position.
Don’t be cruel. Being ruthless and without mercy will make the pack afraid of you. Fear is not respect.
Don’t be apologetic. This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t apologize when you are wrong (and it will happen!), but apologizing over and over again, or for events that are out of your control any makes you appear weak.
The confidence of an Alpha doesn’t mean that he should be possessive of people, relationships, or even work duties. Be prepared to adapt and let people help you; think of it like the cubs trying to show off their latest kill.
