SUCCESSFUL LEADERS ARE TEACHERS

SUCCESSFUL LEADERS ARE TEACHERS. THEY SHOW THEIR FOLLOWERS HOW AND PROVIDE THEM THE RESOURCES AND SUPPORT TO CARRY OUT THE TASK. I ONCE HEARD A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR SPEAK OF HOW HE SPENT MOST OF HIS TIME AT HIS BUSINESS TEACHING. HE PURPOSELY BUDGETED HIS TIME SO THAT HE WOULD BE AROUND SO PEOPLE FROM ALL LEVELS OF THE ORGANIZATION COULD ASK HIM QUESTIONS.Ê THE GREATEST EXAMPLE IN TEACHING IS FOLLOW?THROUGH. WE CAN TELL OTHERS HOW TO DO THINGS, BUT OUR EXAMPLE SHOWS THEM HOW.
7 QUOTES TO HAVE A DEEPER SENSE OF INNER PEACE
1. FEEL THINGS FULLY
EXPANDING YOUR CAPACITY TO FEEL THINGS MORE FULLY – IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT CAN DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE YOUR CAPACITY TO EXPERIENCE INWARD PEACE.

2. REMOVE TOLERATIONS
AS HUMANS WE HAVE THIS AMAZING ABILITY TO “MAKE THINGS OK” AND TO ALLOW THINGS TO DRAIN OUR ENERGY IN OUR ENVIRONMENTS.

3. REGRET PROOF YOUR LIFE
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO REGRET PROOF YOUR LIFE : DO YOUR BEST – ALWAYS. WHEN THINGS GET OFF TRACK START FRESH. LOWER YOUR IMPLUSIVITY – DO THINGS WITH YOUR FEELINGS AND YOUR THINKING IN ALIGNMENT WITH INTENTIONALITY.

4. HAVE A “CONNECTION” PRACTICE
INWARD PEACE THAT COMES FROM MEANING AND INSPIRATION IS ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING ELEMENTS OF INWARD PEACE. WHETHER IT IS A MEDITATIVE PRACTICE LIKE WALKING, MEDITATING, WRITING, OR JUST BEING OUT IN NATURE OR BEING OF SERVICE TO YOUR COMMUNITY.

5. KNOW WHAT YOU WANT AND DON’T WANT IN LIFE
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD WITH OUT A CLEAR DEFINITION OF WHAT THEY WANT, WHAT SUCCESS WOULD LOOK LIKE – THAT WHEN THEY ACTUALLY REACH IT – THEY LOOSE OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO RELAX .

6. TAKE A POSITIVE STANCE
ATTRACTING MORE EASE IN YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE USE OF LANGUAGE IS ONE OF THE MORE SIMPLE CHANGES TO START MAKING ON YOUR OWN. THERE ARE MANY WORDS WE USE FOR EXAMPLE WHICH CAN KEEP US FURTHER FROM A STATE OF INWARD PEACE.

7. DO THE WORK
DOING THE WORK OR THE PRACTICE THAT IS NEEDED TO ACCOMPLISH IS NOT OFTEN TALKED ABOUT AS A WAY TO CREATE GREATER INWARD PEACE. THE KEY HERE IS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS TO US WHEN WE ARE WILLING TO DO THE WORK TOWARDS OUR GOALS AND INTENTIONS. WHEN THERE IS A FULL WILLINGNESS – THERE IS MORE ALLOWING THAT HAPPENS, AND IT IS THAT ALLOWING THAT BRINGS US CLOSER TO PEACE. WHEN WE RESIST – WE OFTEN TAKE OURSELVES INTO A PLACE OF FRUSTRATION AND ISOLATION. TWO PLACES THAT ARE QUITE DISTANT FROM PEACE.

SHOW LEADERSHIP SKILLS
WHAT IS LEADERSHIP TO A CHILD? ALL OF THE ABOVE AND MORE, OF COURSE. AND SO IT IS WITH USE THAT LEADERSHIP SKILLS ARE NOT ONE SKILL SET, BUT RATHER AN AMALGAM OF MANY DIFFERENT SKILLS INVOLVING COMMUNICATING, DELEGATING, RECOGNIZING, EMPOWERING, AND MORE. LEADERSHIP EMERGES FROM DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR OTHERS AS WELL AS THE ORGANIZATION. LEADERS CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT, BUT IT ONLY HAS MEANING IF THEY LIVE BY THEIR WORDS. TO A MEMBER OF A JUMP ROPE TEAM, LEADERSHIP IS EXAMPLE. AND SO IT MUST BE FOR US.
LEADERSHIP IS A CORNERSTONE ATTRIBUTE THAT MANY IN POSITIONS OF POWER HAVE USED TO BETTER THEMSELVES, THEIR PEOPLE, AND THEIR ORGANIZATIONS. AS SUCH IT DOES NOT BELONG IN THE IVORY TOWER; IT IS PART AND PARCEL OF THE FABRIC OF A SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATION. PETER DRUCKER IS OFTEN QUOTED AS SAYING THE BEST RUN ORGANIZATION IS THE GIRL SCOUTS OF AMERICA. THE QUALITY OF THE YOUNG GIRLS WHO PARTICIPATE AND THE QUALITY OF THE WOMEN WHO LEAD THE SCOUTS ARE EXAMPLES OF LEADERSHIP IN ACTION. LIKEWISE, YOUNG PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATE IN TEAM SPORTS, OR ANY KIND OF ACTIVITY THAT INVOLVES THE COOPERATION OF OTHERS TO ACHIEVE A COMMON AIM, ALSO DEMONSTRATE LEADERSHIP ATTRIBUTES.
"KIDS SAY THE DARNED THINGS," TV HUMORIST ART LINKLETTER USED TO SAY. AND WHILE THAT IS CERTAINLY TRUE, OUR KIDS CAN ALSO SAY SOME THINGS THAT ARE OCCASIONALLY PROFOUND. SO WHILE WE OFTEN LOOK TO THOSE IS POSITIONS OF POWER TO EXEMPLIFY LEADERSHIP, WE SHOULD NOT OVERLOOK EXAMPLES OF LEADERSHIP THAT MIGHT BE CLOSER AT HAND, MAYBE EVEN UNDER OUR OWN ROOFS. THE INSIGHTS OUR CHILDREN SHARE CAN PROVIDE US WITH CLUES INTO WHAT MAKES A LEADER, AND IN THE PROCESS MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
