LEADERS ARE VISIONARIES WHO SEE THE END BEFORE IT BEGINS AND LEAD TO IT

“Leaders, especially visionaries cannot operate in a vacuum. The need to test and apply ideas others have not yet had is crucial to the success of new ideas. The birth of new ideas requires risk and brings reward. However, a vision is more than a dream, it is a dream followed up by massive action. A vision includes the momentum of emotions and the vivid picture of the future impact on others. To see and feel an idea, an innovation, an invention is what drives a leader and it should also motivate those they lead.” J Loren Norris

GROUNDED LEADERS LISTEN ONLY TO QUALIFIED CRITICS

”Yes, people have opinions. They also have socks and most of them stink. The number of those opinions which should alter the way you lead is zero, zippo, zilch, nada. This does not mean to isolate and insulate yourself from wise counsel. This does not mean you can avoid a good mentor or coach. This is not a license to become a narcissistic tyrant of a leader. Grounded leaders are surrounded by those who have scars from the same battle or a similar battle previously fought. These opinions are qualified to be your critic. All the others are qualified to shut up.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS REFLECT ON "IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME"

”If you can honestly say about any decision you have made at any point in your life ‘It seemed like a good idea at the time,’ you need to take time to review every major decision you have made. From hiring decisions, to marketing decisions, from relationships to education leaders tend to make decisions based on the evidence most readily available and most reliable at the moment the decision is made. A great leader also takes into account the past consequences of similar decisions, the future ramifications of unintended consequences and the implications of future discoveries. Take time to reflect before you execute on major decisions.” J Loren Norris

IF POLITICS IS DOWNSTREAM OF CULTURE - LEAD CULTURE 

“You do not have to get involved in politics to make changes to the political climate which immediately impacts the daily quality of life you experience. Culture is the primary indication as to the future direction of political bent and political will. If the shenanigans of politics intimidate, frustrate and infuriate you, skip ahead of the process and focus on culture. Relationships, policies, positions within an organization are all cultural territory of the leader. Lead there first and the political environment will change as well.” J Loren Norris

PARENTS MUST LEAD WITH A FUTURISTIC VISION OF THEIR LEGACY

“Leading is a tough job. Leading should be a selfless job with a priority focused on the betterment of the organization and the individuals we lead. Part of that focus demands a leader’s ability to future cast hope and direction for those we lead. Assignments, alignments, associations and relationships should all be the purview of a dedicated and loyal leader. As we apply the idea of begin with the end in mind, we realize the power of directing and encouraging fruitful future personal relationships. The wealthy elite have done it for generations, societally, culturally and even in family. Leading with direction which only benefits you or the organization is selfish. Think future. Especially for those you lead.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE EDGY WHEN THEY MUST BE - TRIGGER WARNING

“When status quo is shifting faster than the direction of the wind it is hard to set sail and stay afloat. When leaders fear making decisions due to the threat of not fitting in with the norms of society it is hard to for leaders to direct the course of the future. Phobia is an illogical fear. Fear is a driving force of thought and emotion, an attitude if you will which paralyzes often crippling acting on common sense. A leader needs to operate with a healthy respect for danger and consequences but not a fear of the opinions of others.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP IS A HUMAN THING TOO. BE BOLD. BE FEARLESS. BE HUMAN. BE COMPASSIONATE.

“Leaders must be bold and fearless. That does not mean they need to be callous and careless. Progress, professionalism, productivity are key indicators of success in any organization. These aspects are also almost always conducted and completed by humans. If you want to lead the way to greater prosperity you will need to pepper your leadership with compassion. If you want to retain your most productive team members do it with compassion.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE FOCUSED THEY ARE NOT OSTRICHES

“When a good leader focuses diligently on a solution, success is eminent. When a leader is hyper focused on a problem, the results are different. When a leader is focused selfishly on their own results, returns or rewards, they become blinded to the plight of others and unfruitful to the true cause of leadership.  I do not recommend a leader be overwhelmed by distraction like a lion with a four legged stool. I do recommend they be aware enough to know their life, business and well being are often deeply impacted or forever altered by policies they could have stopped if they were aware enough to resist them.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS WHO ARE BREAKING GROUND - RESISTANCE IS GUARANTEED -PROCEED ANYWAY

”If you lead change, innovation, interruption or transformation you will face resistance. It may cost you reputation, relationships, finances and even rest lead anyway. To motivate those who stand with you, hope must be presented in the vision you deliver to them. Hope will be the reason and the power to face the fight and pay the price. The history books will remember the fight. Will it remember you for your leadership as a good or bad influence?” J Loren Norris

WHAT IS THE LEADERS MOST VALUABLE CURRENCY IN THE SOCIAL AGE OR DIGITAL AGE?

​​”Pensions, work place accommodations, bonuses, break rooms and the like were once the fodder of employee loyalty. What if employee loyalty is a myth? As societies, economies and populations evolve, people experience shifting priorities, shifting relationships and shifting motivations. What once moved and managed behavior in team members no longer serves them. Relevance is really what moves people. What does it take to be relevant as a leader? Watch the video and learn what Dale Carnegie said over 100 years ago. Its still true today!” J Loren Norris
