CANDOR LEADS WHERE CARE EXISTS - WITHOUT CARE CANDOR CAN BE CRUEL
“It is far too easy to speak your mind when every thought is about your own benefit. Successful leaders have the loyalty of their team because the team knows they care about them. A leader who is quick to speak and slow to listen is a leader who unknowingly inflicts emotional pain by simply speaking their mind. A great leader cares more about the well being of their team members than they do about being in control, being heard or being right.” J Loren Norris

DREAMERS AND LEADERS ARE CLOSELY RELATED BUT WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP?
“Most of a child’s life is spent in the world of imagination. Children live in a world where anything is possible and the unimaginable does not exist. If they can dream it up in their hearts and minds, they can and will behave as if it’s true. Age and life experience seem to be the deterrent to cultivating such fantastic lives. Unless one lives in a comic book, the older we get the fewer dreams we allow ourselves to imagine and believe. Leaders must be the provokers of imagination and dreams, these are the place innovation is born and hope is kept alive.” J Loren Norris

GRATITUDE IS THE SECRET WEAPON OF LEADERSHIP

“It is uncommon to encounter people who are truly grateful for every event and circumstance in their life. Most humans have good days as well as bad days. Life tends to offer both reasons to celebrate and reasons to scream in frustration, anger, pain or remorse. To say otherwise is to lie. However, these events in life do not choose the attitude a leader lives with, the leader does. If one understands the emotional, energetic, magnetic and cosmic power of the attitude of gratitude, they also understand the weapon it is and how to wield it in times of trouble.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS NEED TO KNOW WHEN THEY ARE NOT THE SMARTEST GUY IN THE ROOM
“This is not a statement on gender but a statement on ego and audacity. Confidence and arrogance are strange bedfellows. It’s difficult for most leaders to discern when one is asleep and the other is awake. When ego is driving the bus, every leader needs a team of back seat drivers to watch the road and course correct. When confidence is in the driver’s seat, other leaders should be making notes. Knowing which is the driver is the hardest part of leading. Great skill with genuine humility is world changing. Great arrogance with limited skill motivates a desire to rule the world. Be humble. Seek advise. Focus forward. Get over yourself. Help others.” J Loren Norris

WHOSE VISION ARE YOU LEADING OTHERS TO AND THROUGH
“It would only make sense for a leader to move people they influence in the direction of a mutually agreed upon vision, goal or destination. However, perhaps you’ve heard the seemingly unrelated phrases such as ulterior motive, narcissistic tendencies, or vision creep. These notions are directly related and intricately involved in the actual practice of leading. A leader who is not intentional and clear about the compelling vision driving them will get derailed. Many other motivations will redirect the path and the people. Get clear on the vision as assigned, articulate it regularly, revisit it often, especially if it is not your vision you are tasked to carry out.” J Loren Norris

EVERY STORY A LEADER TELLS ESTABLISHES HISTORY, EXPLAINS THE PRESENT AND PREPARES PEOPLE FOR THE FUTURE
“Leaders who read history know how often and in what ways history repeats itself. Leaders who tell stories recall to validate, or recollect to correct history as it is remembered. Like multiple eye witnesses to an accident, every event or incident in history has myriad perceptions to offer. What happened and why? Who caused it? Who is to blame or receive credit? These answers will be as vast and varied as the number of people telling the story. These answers will give motivation for what we do now and directions for what we do next. The answers will redefine the potentialities of the future for generations. If your perception of the events is not told, then history and posterity will lack your perspective.” J Loren Norris

THREE TOP REASONS YOU MIGHT HAVE TO LEAVE THEM BEHIND AS THEIR LEADER
“Three reasons people who started the journey with you won’t finish it. They don’t want to know. They don’t want to grow. They don’t want to go. They might want the accolades, the appreciation, the notoriety. They perhaps even long for the riches and recognition. But the price to be paid for going forward into the risky unknown is not in their nature. They would rather be left behind than to go the hard way. Never let them talk you out of the journey toward your destiny. Say goodbye to the past and hello to the future.” J Loren Norris

​LEADERSHIP MUST BE APPROACHED LIKE RAILROAD TRACKS - STOP - LOOK - LISTEN
“Leaders who assume they know everything, well you know what happens when we assume. It is imperative for leaders to demonstrate the respect, human decency and compassion others deserve. It is also significantly critical for leaders to consider the circumstances, perspectives and predicaments of those they lead. A failure to follow orders or instructions can be a serious problem indeed. However, there is often a why worth hearing in the back of the noncompliance. Stop. Look. Listen.” J Loren Norris

THE INGREDIENTS OF GREAT LEADERSHIP ARE OFTEN UNAPPEALING SEPARATELY 
“Many recipes include surprising ingredients. The little known elements which cause critical chemical reactions are by themselves unimaginable as a food item. Have you ever eaten baking powder or straight cocoa powder? Some ingredients cannot be skipped or substituted, In leadership, there are messy, even nasty ingredients which are crucial catalyst to personal growth, team cohesion and ultimately success. If we skip some of those undesirable mixtures, great leadership may not be final result. We will get something unrecognizable instead.” J Loren Norris

WHEN FRUSTRATING EVENTS BEFALL A LEADER REHEARSAL BEGINS, RECITAL REMINDS, RESENTMENT RISES UNLESS…
“Changed schedules, delayed flights, closed doors to opportunity, a loss of a sale or top employee and suddenly the world of an average leader is in a tail spin. To avoid the disaster of the nose dive and ensuing crash, the blame game is activated like a led parachute. No one comes out of the blame game unscathed. When the mind of the leader is not trained and disciplined to search for positive possibilities, the rehearsal of the past events will be the natural response. The recital of the same old stories of failure and unworthiness begin to replay in the mind. Resentment becomes the driving emotion and it drives to destruction or depression or both. Its time to tell a better story.” J Loren Norris ​” J Loren Norris
