TRUTH IN LEADERSHIP!

Good morning my friends and how is everyone doing on this beautiful morning? You see I wake up each morning and give thanks for all that I have and realize that life is a great thing to look forward to each day. Each morning I give thanks for many things about life and in turn the world gives me thanks for being who I am.
I know that might sound a bit selfish but think about it.




 A leader should always remain focused and concentrate on his/her ability to adapt to all situations in the work place.  A position of power gives an individual certain tasks that must be performed in a mutually beneficial way - both to the company and to the employee, the parent or the child. 

I find that sometimes it's interesting to look over and observe peoples behaviors and to think about what the underlying causes of their actions truly are.  Sometimes the results can be astonishing!

For example; when a person finds they've been placed in a position of power it can be an undaunting experience - because it's a change and more often than not - it's a big change.  And change is one of the things that is hard to adapt to - and when this type of change happens in a persons life - the outcome and a persons behavior can become unpredictable - it is precisely this unpredictability that leads to confusion, harsh judgement or speedy judgement on the part of the person in a newly found position of power.  And this is how people who become leaders tend to make mistakes when taking on the new role of a power position.  As a leader one should strive to understand those individuals that you mean to direct or manage - a leader should understand human behavior and really consider - as a leader - what makes his subordinates tick.  And as a leader one should always display compassion to every person around them ; most especially those that he/she leads or manages.


 I am fortunate enough to have a show where I attempt to help other people via radio - so my audience grows on a daily basis and I'm sometimes inundated with questions about peoples behavior or lack their of - in both the work place and at home.  My method of extracting the details I find to be important is a simple one.  Truth.  One must always speak the truth not only about what a person thinks of others but also the truth of the actions that he/she may be undertaking.

In speaking about compassion in the work place or even at home; I sometimes find myself at odds with certain individuals because it is these "Truths" that are sometimes very difficult to accept.  When a person looks at a situation from the outside in , it's usually from a very clear and unbiased view of a situation.  And when my analysis is presented to an individual, it can sometimes become an abrasive discussion - at least temporarily.  


But this is never my intention; this is simply a result of a simple process - a mechanism as it were - that helps to identify where any individual can improve their behavior in the work place or at home by understanding and developing their analytical skills, their personal behavior towards others and their ability to manage their own actions when responding a subordinate.  

In other words; being the boss can sometimes give people a big head and so one must bring themselves back down to Earth and realize that although you are in a position of power - this power has been presented to you for many, many reasons and most of those reasons have to do with how your boss views you and your capabilities to perform a good job as a "good" leader of the company.  It's hardly ever the case that person is presented with a position of power so that they can abuse said power.  The job ultimately is presented to person because at the end of the day - as an owner looking for a manager or leader for my company - it boils down to the bottom line.  But remember that the bottom line shouldn't mean you place those you lead or manage at the bottom.  In fact they are standing right along side you.  It's your team!

 Thank you for reading!

Here is a quote or an article written by one of my favorite people in the world and mentor.
 
Time and again we hear stories about ordinary people who do seemingly impossible things when they find themselves in an emergency situation. They perform Herculean feats of strength and endurance, things they never dreamed they were capable of doing. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could harness that strength and make it available anytime you need it? You can — if you believe you can. 

No doubt you can remember a time in your life when you were exceptionally focused on your objective, a time when you achieved more in less time than ever before. 

Perhaps it was an impending vacation that motivated you to get everything done before you departed, or perhaps it was a “must pass” exam that helped you focus your concentration. The intensity that you developed in those situations is always available to you when you have a Positive Mental Attitude.  

"To Believe In Ourselves Is The Key To Individual Success"-Luciano Santini


  Be so good that they can’t ignore you. This is the key to attracting genuine interest, from the right kind of people.  If you want to change your life then do something about it. Take a risk at life or at what your passion is or might be. If you do not know what your passion is or might be then start thinking real hard about who you are and what you want out of life.
