I hope everyone is doing superb as you possibly can be for the duration of these difficult times. It’s humorous all the moments we take for granted, isn’t it? With everything that’s going on, it’s an appropriate time to take stock and to think in regards to who we are as human beings and where we are going.

One of those very important things to really think about is your would-be management capabilities I’m sure. A large definition of management focuses on the potential to encourage others who share the one goal to reach both as individuals and as an organization.

Leadership capabilities are vital anywhere whether at home or at your place of employment. One to look for is the ability to execute a technique such as transformational leadership or servant leadership.

Both of these techniques and theories work great if and only you have a human understanding that brings out the science fo leadership. Leadership is also an art that a true leader must understand not just the theories but the implementation of it and what it all means.

Developing management abilities is one of the most effective ways you can a serious change in your life and of others.

As you work on creating management skills, you end up greater attuned to your strengths and weaknesses, which creates self-awareness and the capacity to relate to others. Leadership is an art and a science and both must become one as in my theory the EVAN Theory of Leadership.-Dr. Luciano Santini

Times are difficult

To all who read my writings thank you and be safe and keep those you love safe and tell them every day just how much you care and love them.

These times are difficult for everyone those that still have a job and especially those that do not. As a leader show empathy, love and much compassion. Sometimes you want to be right here, now. Every now and then, the proper here right now sucks. The beauty of shifting tense is you may visualize a greater compelling future, or recollect an extra enjoyable beyond. On the equal time, if you trap your self dwelling on a painful beyond, come back to the right now, and see the joy within the moment and smile. To all the parents with children. Be the parent you are meant to be in the moment with them and love them and tell them that all will be just fine. We will all survive and see the difficulties go by us. Be strong and stay safe. hashtag#empathy hashtag#humanbeings hashtag#emotionalintelligence hashtag#leadershipdevelopmentcoaching hashtag#culturedevelopment hashtag#transformationalchange hashtag#employee engagement hashtag#inthemoment hashtag#businessleaders hashtag#feelvalued hashtag#mindfulness hashtag#self

Standing Alone

Is it true that one message can change the direction of an organization?

Leave your comments below.

Hello to all my friends, supporters and followers thank you for believing in my skill sets as a leader. I learn from every comment you write me.

Leadership is not about who you are or where you come from. Leadership is about seeing ahead just enough to make a turn in a different direction for the better.

Leadership is about allowing your staff to change direction on their own to create efficiency. Leadership is about having an open mind to the future.

Leadership is about understanding that at one point or another you will be standing alone when  everyone else will turn their back on you and yet you will perceive and persist on doing  what you know is the right thing to do.

 The misconception that a leader has to hold a high position is nothing more than a myth. please share and leave your comments which are so appreciated.

COLLABORATION

I do so much research on this subject that it burns my mind when I see organization not understand the difference and then they wonder why there is no teamwork. Please share and leave me your comments.

" Leadership Is When You Make Others Better Simply By Listening"--Dr. Luciano Santini

Hello everyone and well yesterday was day of driving all over town attending baseball games and there were some nail biters. I saw the leadership of one of my sons take over a game of course there was some coaching involved. There were down 17 to zero in the first inning. It was the first game of their season and what everyone saw unfold before their eyes to me was incredible.

The team began to speak and communicate with each other on the field. I heard my son telling the other team members "It is the first inning we have many more to go" I saw him cheering each member and then the rest followed the cheers and what happened next was unbelievable. In the second inning they scored 4 runs and held the other team through communication on the field.

The third inning the other team were held but scored one run. The fourth inning came along and at this point our team had to score three runs or it would be a mercy call and stop the game. The cheering started up louder then ever and just like that bases are loaded and one teammate smacks the ball out of the field and just like that the score is 17-8 and so the game continued.

 The fifth inning comes on and they hold the other team. They score one run. The sixth inning starts up the other team  gets two players on base third player comes to bat hits it to second and one out throws to first to my son and just like that double play and they hold them again no runs scored.

The bottom of the sixth inning comes up the cheering and by now of course the fans are screaming and cheering and bam! one gets on base the second hitter gets on base my son comes up and hits a triple two runs in and now 17-10 no outs. Then two more get on base and again a triple now it is 17-12 and no outs. Then a fly ball and one out bases loaded. One hitter comes up gets on base and then another bases loaded boom a triple not we are at 17-15 then two more hitters and two outs the end score was 17-15.

What I saw was a team that in the first inning were demolished and their coach was crushed to see their team like this but then the cheering the communication and the effort and the passion to win came through and all I can say was WOW!!!!!.

Now my question is how different is this from  leadership in organizations? I have seen it so many times where leadership just gives up on their staff and fires them because they have given up on them no cheering them along! no guidance nothing!!

A leader must have the capacity ti guide the vision of the organization! What does this mean well my friends this is what it means according to Warren Bennis-You must always be professional and know where you are leading your people to. You must have the knowledge and persistence to face issues and setbacks and perhaps even failures.  

You must have passion for what you believe in and yes you must love to do what you do and be able to show it.

I believe that this is the most important lesson to know. You as the leader must know your strengths and you must know tour weaknesses. You must always stick to your principles which by the way many leaders miss or do not have. A leader must learn from experience and be willing to learn from others.

Leaders must  earn peoples trust. A leader must be willing to take risks and be willing to try new things.

One thing that I have learned through experience is that you must be a great listener to the people you serve and to the people you are to lead but never ever become a prisoner of public opinion because a great leader is never ever defined by what other think or say.

There have been so many leaders through out the years and I have found through mush talking and much much research that the one thing they all had in common and I have said this many many times is that they have willing followers in other words people believe in them that they will do their best to dot he right thing in every situation.

There are many leaders out there that are well not leaders but they believe they are because they sit in a position of power which almost always will fail unless they are in a position where there is no way of having them removed. Why are these leaders great in their own mind but never with the people and have no willing followers well because simply put they focus on to much on systems and structure as apposed to focusing on people!!!

"I wouldn't mind if I failed because I tried something worthwhile.Siggi Hilmarsson

Hello to all my friends around the globe who continue to support my journey in changing the perspective of life one mind at a time. We go through life making mistakes and that is OK as long as you the individual making those mistakes learns from them. I find personally that in my life I have made mistakes that have cost me dearly from loosing friends and relationships to loosing out on jobs. I have also learned that if you learn from those mistakes you become stronger and a much better person then you were before.

 

Learning from people is one of the most rewarding times that a great leader can have when they are willing to listen and share their lives with them. many leaders today are missing this ingredient to success and I have to say is that they will eventually fail as leaders.Leadership is not about power and wielding that hammer down when a member of your team makes a mistake it is about listening and teaching the correct way and with a smile. I have studied Napoleon Hill for over twenty years now and I have to tell you that this man had and to this day continues to teach me many things about life,history,mistakes and how to overcome them.

Failure seems to be nature’s plan for preparing us for great responsibilities.

If everything we attempted in life were achieved with a minimum of effort and came out exactly as planned, how little we would learn — and how boring life would be! And how arrogant we would become if we succeeded at everything we attempted. Failure allows us to develop the essential quality of humility. It is not easy — when you are the person experiencing failure — to accept it philosophically, serene in the knowledge that this is one of life’s great learning experiences. But it is. Nature’s ways are not always easily understood, but they are repetitive and therefore predictable. You can be absolutely certain that when you feel you are being most unfairly tested, you are being prepared for great achievement. BY Napoleon Hill

Leadership today in many organizations are failing their organizations and their people. The biggest issue is that leadership believe that they know it all and they know what people think and should do when the facts are that most of the time they are so disengaged that they miss opportunities and ideas from people in general. Leaders should set aside any preconceived notions they may have about any topic, and listen attentively and not be a judge towards the words that come from another.

 Quote of of the day:

"I wouldn't mind if I failed because I tried something worthwhile.Siggi Hilmarsson

 According to Glen Llopis: Leaders fail in their primary role and responsibility of enabling the full potential in people and the business they serve because they don’t know the difference between substitution and evolution.   Instead of leading the organization and its people to continually evolve, they get stuck in a cycle of complacency and the substitution of activities associated with it.   

As a result, the company cannot grow or its growth cannot be sustained.These leaders practice substitution over evolution. Substitution is when you believe you are taking a different approach, but in reality it is all too similar to how you have led in the past – and not what the business needs to grow and compete in the 21^st century.   This type of leader seeks recognition for maintaining the status quo, rather than seeking to earn respect by identifying constructively disruptive ways of challenging the status quo.
