LEADERS ARE BOTH THE DEFENDERS AND THE THREAT TO FREEDOMS WE ENJOY

“When leaders insist on changing the rules in the middle of the game it is an indicator they are concerned with losing as the rules are now. They want to create their own distinct advantage. Leaders, persons with influence, be it political, financial, relational represent the greatest threat to freedom as we know it. Honestly though, leaders with influence are also the greatest defenders of our freedoms. I challenge you to be the latter. If rules need to change, be insistent to make that transformation for the better of all not a selfish solution,” J Loren Norris

LEAD YOUR OWN THOUGHTS OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL AND THE IMPACT ON YOUR HEALTH WILL ASTOUND YOU

“Healthy thinking can produce a healthy body. Toxic thinking can produce a toxic body. This is true of the human organism and human organizations. The quality of one’s thinking determines the quality of one’s life. If others can benefit, profit or gain control from influencing your thinking in a bad way, the money motive alone might be enough to corrupt their intentions. Guarding your thoughts could well become a feature of basic survival. It is already a truth of optimal health and an optimized life. Lead the narrative, influence those you care about beginning with promoting positive and healthy thoughts.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW DEMEANOR IS A SKILL TO BE MASTERED OF MUCH EFFORT

“Passion will carry an idea through many obstacles, but passion unbridled is like a gunny sack of hot coals. The energy passion provides is a great tool when managed well. However, in an environment where cooler heads prevail, passion is a disruption and a distraction. Leaders who master the skill of poise, restraint and self control will possess a power which is hard to measure until it is applied. Make the effort to learn and apply poise to your leadership. Those you influence will thank you.” J Loren Norris

EVERY LEADER FACES A PARASITE THREAT - WHAT DO YOU DO?

“A parasite in your body and a parasite in your company have the same strategy as well as the same effect. They suck the energy, resources and life from you while depositing their own excrement and toxicity in its place. In every way a bodily infestation can devastate, debilitate and disable an organizational parasite will do the same. If you are suffering from leaks of customer data, marketing power, leadership authority and failure to thrive, you might have a parasite. If you are experiencing unexplained sources of emotional and relational toxicity, you might have a parasite. If your greatest efforts to get things back on target are met with more of the same troubles, you might have a parasite. Lead well by getting a detox underway immediately.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP REQUIRES MORALITY VALUES AND CORE TRUTH IN EXPRESSION AND DEED

Suppression of the truth is sadly nothing new. For all of human existence, history belongs to the victor. Meaning whomever is winning the battle or has won the war claims the right to tell the story as they see it. Truth becomes the opinion of the victor. In many instances the truth as we know it is the result of a carefully crafted and subversively delivered narrative. The absence of certain evidence, the manipulation of certain facts, the silence of certain ideas replaces actual history with something else. Leadership demands a grounded and honest approach to truth in both expression and action even when it’s uncomfortable.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW THIS - BEING MANAGED AND BEING LEAD ARE NOT THE SAME THING

“I know not one person who has ever experienced the true freedom of being lead properly who prefers to be managed, manipulated and controlled. I know many who have traded their freedom for the supposed security of management. I also have sat across the table from, dined with, prayed with and spoken at length with those who lived most of their life in a system of utter control who long for the freedom and opportunity which has made the USA legendary for more than a century. Those who long to be managed, have never tasted or even imagined the freedom of being lead.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS LOOK BENEATH THE SURFACE NARRATIVE AND INTO THE DEEPER MEANING

“Most people are unaware how much they reveal in the words they do not say. The little white lies, omissions, altered meanings and misrepresentation are equal parts subconscious and subversive.  Some communicators are crafty and intentional in what they say and don’t say. Other communicators are simply trained to echo what they have heard before and the  presence or absence of certain terms is outside the scope of their awareness or intent. They are dutifully following the narrative. Either way, leaders must listen for the agenda in the blank spots so they can proactively encounter the dangers and lead the narrative on their own.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS VALUE WYSIWYG AND KNOW EVERYTHING ELSE IS SUS

“No one likes to be deceived, lied to or misled. It would be nice if the people we interact with would simply tell the truth. Better yet, what if there was a WYSIWYG button, like the easy button, you just smack it and all the misleading filters and facades fall away? My challenge to you as leaders is simple: be honest, operate in integrity, take the lumps which come with telling the truth and let the chips fall where they may. Some people will hate you for it. Some people will love you for it. Some people will be repelled and others endeared for life. Your integrity is more of an asset than your 401k. Honest transparency is a friend worthy of the risk.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS EXPERIENCE THE GREATEST TRANSFORMATION WHERE DISCIPLINE MEETS ENVIRONMENT

“Every leader must choose to surround themselves in the right environment and that choice alone requires drastic amounts of discipline. Is success based on nature or nurture? It is an age old debate, I believe the evidence is ample to state BOTH are significant if not equal in their influence and impact. As a leader you must seek the mentors who have been where you’re going and you must also be the anchor of an environment which allows others space, encouragement and empowerment to grow.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP IS A MIND GAME

​“A leader whose mind isn’t right is a leader who won’t lead long. The ability to maintain control of  your own attitude in all circumstances is a requirement of leadership. It is a tough assignment. It demands the greatest of tenacity and dogged determination but a positive mental attitude is the single most valuable asset of a great leader. Regardless the tragic, dramatic, emotional nature of your team and surroundings, managing yourself and your attitude will provide employment security and financial opportunity for a leader at any level.” J Loren Norris
