​FEAR RULES THE DAY UNTIL LEADERS STEP IN WITH COURAGE MULTIPLIED THROUGH MINDSET

“Your attitude is both your choice and your best defense against the fear others use to make you more predictable. Fear will rule the day if you let it. Those who have designs on controlling your work, your wealth and your way of life will use fear as a tool of control over you.  A leader who has faced fear and stood strong against it has developed their courage muscle and you need to have them  in your corner. When the team begins to adopt the mindset of a courageous leader, the force of courage is multiplied. Great leaders lead with a courage based mindset rather than controlling through fear. Be that kind of leader” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP IS A TRAIT THROUGHOUT NATURE HUMANITY IS NOT

“Leadership structure, hierarchy and organization of power can be seen in almost every living organism in nature. Every culture or collection of society, from fish to fowl from house cats to Himalayan mountain goats have been lead by systemization of ordered influence. Digital resources are created with similar technology based structure from basic codes for calculating to the most elaborate databases. Leadership influence permeates decision making, authorizes action and corrects error in all of these ecosystems. But only in human relationships are we lead by the sympathetic nervous system and the concerns of others where compassion will often take precedence over productivity. Lead with humanity while you are a who, who can.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW UNIT COHESION AND MISSION ALIGNMENT ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED

‘When running in opposite directions a team will no more likely reach its goals than a rowboat doing the same. Self aggrandizing, self centered and personal goal oriented people can be a huge derailed of team cohesion. Leaders might simply dismiss the signs of a weak team and attribute them to these personal personnel problems when they are actually caused by a lack of a clearly defined and articulated team vision. Results look similar, solutions do not.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS AVOID THE FOUNDER'S SYNDROME ONLY BY AWARENESS AND HUMILITY

“Founders have a tendency to believe the world is a better place because of them, as they should. Unfortunately this often leads to believing the world could not function the same without them, and this is not true. The work they have done, the organizations they have launched, the people they have helped are all grateful for their dedicated efforts and accomplishments, but if the demand for what they have done is significant, someone would have done it without them as well. Founders are invaluable but not irreplaceable. Awareness of this truth should spark humility and collaboration at the highest levels.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS WILL BECOME TARGETS - DEFENSE - OFFENSE - INTEGRITY

“When you rise up as a leader, you will be targeted. When you are targeted, you may or may not be given the opportunity to defend yourself. When you you rise up as a leader you will suddenly be on everyone’s radar. This is the benefit and curse of becoming a person of influence. Those who despise you will look to take you down by truth or travesty. Those who admire you will inadvertently maximize your exposure to risk by unintended affiliation or relationships. In any of these situations the best defense is a good offense and the best offense is integrity. When partnered with transparency, integrity means awareness, acknowledgment and admission to faults before they can be used as weakness. Build your skin to be thicker yet more transparent. Build your leadership to operate in integrity.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ALLOW OPPORTUNITIES TO FLOURISH AMID NEW AWARENESS WITHOUT DERAILING THIER VISION

“Craft a vision with diligence, intentionality and purpose. Know who you will help and why, the how will become more clear along the way. Once your target is in sight, know that the HOW will appear as a serious of potential projects, outtakes and possible distractions. Some of these must be completed for the vision to be achieved, others are irrelevant to the bigger picture and will suck up resources of time, talent, treasure and attention delaying the accomplishments of your original vision. It’s your job as leader to distinguish the difference then delegate or navigate the proper resources and resolve.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP IS AN ATTITUDE BUT CERTAIN ATTITUDES DESTROY LEADERSHIP QUALITY

“The thoughts you choose to think and how you feel about those thoughts, that’s the base definition of attitude. If your thoughts about money, people, profit and relationships are not accurate, then how you feel about them will not be either. The result is a bad attitude. A bad attitude is an antecedent to good leadership and even more so to running a successful business. If you want to lead a business well, get your attitude right and you will have a greater influence in more lives.” J Loren Norris

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
