Will You Add? - The Leadership Imperative: Making Your Leadership Your Life
Dreams of owning a business is as far as many people get.What is it that makes one person move heaven and earth to live their dream of starting a business and someone else who seems determined stay an employee?One woman’s story…In 1976 a motor home rolled into a small town outside a major North American city. The driver was a woman in her la
You are never more powerful as a leader as when, in getting results, you are helping others be better than they are -- even better than thought they could be. Guided by the Leadership Imperative, you'll find that the jobs you take on, the career(s) you have, will, in terms of your doing well by them, take
Want a real ego boost? Then make yourself unnecessary. Your business will be more valuable if you can get it to the point that it grows in your absence. Like parenting, where imparting the tools your kids need to be happy, productive members of society is an accomplishment, getting your business to run on its own warrants bragging rights. The more dispensabl
For instance, to start getting more results than you are accustomed to getting, you simply have to change your mind-set. You should aim to make your leadership your life and your life your leadership. If you don't, you diminish both your leadership and your life.
To have the change in mind-set really sink in so it changes you in a deep, fundamental way, you must cultivate two dynamics: a vision of the purpose of your leadership, and the dedication to realize that purpose.
The word "vision" has been used and misused ad nauseam. The trouble is that most leaders misunderstand it. When they think "vision", they look at themselves, at what they can do for themselves. To do well for yourself, an inward focus is the wrong place to look.
Here's a vision that you can carry with you for the rest of your career, for the rest of your life. I call it the Leadership Imperative.
I WILL LEAD PEOPLE IN SUCH A WAY THAT THEY NOT ONLY ACHIEVE THE RESULTS WE NEED BUT THEY ALSO BECOME BETTER AS PEOPLE AND AS LEADERS.
This vision has two parts: one is result-accomplishments and the other is the betterment of the people.

The key to attracting a potential customer’s attention in any form of marketing is your headline.

Paperwork. Nobody likes it, but everyone has to do it. Documentation on a new hire can be the most cumbersome, but is an absolute must. Detailed paperwork not only allows the new employee to collect a paycheck and be eligible for fringe benefits, it protects you, the employer.Take for example the required I-9 form. Failure by the employer to properly

If you're like many people, you may know that your current job or career choice isn't right for you... yet, you may not know what else to do.So in an effort to help you find the "ideal" job or career you may ask yourself, "what do I want to do?" But that question may do more harm than good. Unfortunately, you may not be able to come up with an answer that
You are never more powerful as a leader as when, in getting results, you are helping others be better than they are -- even better than thought they could be. Guided by the Leadership Imperative, you'll find that the jobs you take on, the career(s) you have, will, in terms of your doing well by them, take care of themselves.
However, vision alone is not enough. You must be dedicated to realizing it. Realizing this vision means living not an easy life for ourselves but a hard life for others.
There are many ways to make such realization happen, and it should be our life's journey to find them and put them into action. The point is that when you turn the focus of your ambitions away from yourself and toward other people, when you become truly ambitious for their success, your success will take care of itself.
How do we really let our leadership sink deeply into our life and change it and shape it throughout our lives? By dedicating ourselves to passionately realizing the Leadership Imperative.
