LEADERS KNOW HOW TO STOCK THE CABINET WITH PROPER TOOLS

“Team building and team acquiring are learned leadership disciplines. The ability to write a thorough and accurate job description then match it to an honest resume has become an art form of the most skilled. It’s not enough to check and trust the degree plan, diploma or even referrals. The skills acquired and the education accumulated will not outpace bad character. Hiring for what they know will still result in firing for who they are if leadership is not diligent in the pursuit of persons over papers. Leaders are not managers. Leaders know the critical importance of alignment before assignment.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW WHEN THEY DON'T KNOW AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT

​“There will always be something you don’t know. Even the most brilliant, most educated, most inquisitive person cannot know everything. The secret rests in the humility to say I don’t know partnered with the wisdom to say I will find out and get back to you. Good leaders are also aware when the knowledge, data, information requested is not in their realm of competence or responsibility and should be delegated to an expert whose lane it is. As a leader, you must know when you don’t know and what to do next: defer, delegate or decline.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE SEEDERS NOT CEDERS OR CEDARS

“The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is today. Otherwise there will be no hope for trees tomorrow. Leaders who surrender power, authority, responsibility or control also surrender influence. Leaders who are ceders abdicate their opportunities to establish today what will shape tomorrow and have failed as leaders in my opinion. Leaders who are cedars, seek stardom, notoriety, celebrity and recognition for themselves, they may as well cede their influence. They are influencing in the pursuit of acknowledgement not accomplishment. Leaders who are seeders leave a lasting and worthwhile legacy. Seeders are leaders who plant, nurture, protect and cultivate seeds worthy of reproduction. Seeds of good ideas, discipline, loyalty, commitment, hard work, persistence and grit are seeds which bear fruit worth harvesting.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS LEARN TO READ AND INTERPRET TELLS BOTH SUBCONSCIOUS AND INTENTIONAL

“Some tells are hidden, subconscious and even the person with the tell is unaware the secrets they are revealing. Others tells are planned, contrived and manipulative. They seem to be subtle oversights, but they are planted in a scene, image or conversation to lead one to specific conclusions for a reason. Leaders learn to read and interpret tells in order to avoid being mislead, embezzled or deceived. As a leader you should be student of negotiation skills, reading body language, NLP and other techniques for discerning the truth from those you lead and those you serve. Don’t be fooled by the tell, subconscious or overt.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE CONSUMERS AND CURATORS OF WISDOM IE KNOWLEDGE + EXPERIENCE

Know this: the information you are consuming is managed and curated as it is delivered to you. All information is categorized, assembled, measured, and served to you as a leader in order to lead you to believe certain things. I call this the narrative. The narrative is an overall message, theme or agenda which is promoted by a collection of stories carefully arranged to lead to a predetermined conclusion.  Leaders need to lead the narrative as it relates to them and those they lead.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS APPEAL TO THE MASSES ONLY TO SEE AGREEMENT AS FICKLE AS FRIENDSHIP

“If what you seek as a leader is mass acceptance you will find your ROI and your reward to be just as fickle and fading as friendship. Anyone can hack the algorithm of social media or best selling author. Not everyone can deeply influence and impact the next generation with genuine leadership principles. Take the time as a leader to pursue impact over numbers of followers.” J Loren Norris

WHY LEADERS MUST LEAD THE NARRATIVE Watch the video!

“It’s important to know the truth. More than the ideas accepted as truth, more than the repeated narrative, more than the most commonly shared opinion, stories impact the way we live our lives, build social structure and craft policy both domestic and international. Leaders who master their craft as communicators learn to select the stories they should tell, craft the stories they tell well and win the hearts of the people with whom they wish to connect. These are the required steps to lead the narrative in a leader’s sphere of influence and we need more leaders who are supremely confident, competent and courageous to get busy in this effort.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS EXPERIENCE AND EXPRESS GRATITUDE ESPECIALLY IN FAILURE

“Nothing builds motivation, momentum and manageable energy in the failures of life like gratitude. In times of failure, the lack of hope, along with the sense of despair and defeat can destroy the ambitions of even the greatest leaders. The humility to admit wrong, the selflessness to accept responsibility and the courage to accept the consequences will greatly serve the potential for a comeback to success. However, to regain momentum and rebuild motivation the key is the ability to experience and express gratitude even in the midst of the worst consequences.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS LEARN THE VALUE OF PROTECTING UP AND PROTECTING DOWN  

“They say it takes years to build trust and only seconds to destroy it. The commitment and loyalty required for strong relationships is often underestimated in effort to maintain and hard to explain in magnitude of importance. Leaders and team members must be diligent to protect information, data, relationships and inside baseball detail, even when the need for secrecy is not articulated. Protecting those you lead and those who lead you is an essential aspect of mature leadership.” J Loren Norris
