LEADERS REFUSE TO USE STEREOTYPES TO REPLACE GENUINE DIALOGUE

“Leaders are expected, even required to be astutely aware of the differences between people they encounter daily. Perceiving the learning styles, communication habits, personality traits of others should be second nature for a seasoned leader. The caution which accompanies this level of evaluation is critical. Never let your presumed insights or observations substitute for genuine curiosity. Dialogue, open ended questions and active listening are often more reliable than the most skilled assumptions. Listen before you leap to stereotypical conclusions.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW GENUINE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM FROM JEALOUS COMPARISONS OR COMPETITION

“It is easy to criticize, condemn and complaint. This is why almost every good leadership coach will tell you it is a practice to abandon. At the same time, it is the role of a good leader to provide feedback which will contribute to making those they lead better. Improvement in performance, productivity, attitude, relationships and accomplishments will almost always follow genuine constructive criticism. 

When a leader or peer is immature, that criticism will not be constructive but rather petty, competitive, comparison. The feedback type does not drive toward improvement but rather is designed to destroy self confidence and effectiveness. Leaders should not participate in petty, competitive comparisons, they should offer genuine constructive criticism which drives improvement.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS COLLECT STORIES BECAUSE THEY ARE TEACHING TOOLS

“Every lesson you have ever learned carries the powerful experience buried in a story. I challenge you to prove me wrong. Because this is true, the best leading you will ever do is throughthe stories you tell to those you lead for them to learn from your experiences and not need to repeat your failures. As a leader, you should be curating stories everyday for this very specific purpose. That’s what StoryPower: Lead The Narrative  is all about.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS CAN BE MISLEAD BY INTENT OR INDIFFERENCE

“It isd all too easy top be mislead by those who are determined to do so. It is also easy to mislead if that is your intent. Leaders are often mislead because they relish the supposed innocence of ignorance. If I pretend I didn’t know, I cannot be held responsible. The ignorance of a leader is not an excuse it is an abdication. Take seriously your role as a leader. Be astute and acutely aware of what is happening in adjacent areas that pose a threat risk to your team or environment.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS WHO EXERCISE WILLFUL BLINDNESS ARE COMPLICIT IN WHAT THEY IGNORE

“If you know to do right and you do nothing it is wrong. If you know some one else is doing wrong and you do nothing, it is wrong. If you are a leader, what good is your influence if you do not exercise it with vigilance and diligence? Willful blindness is IMHO complicity in the very act of injustice the leader ignores. Do what is morally right, even if it is not enforceable by law. If you can prevent harm do so, that’s your leadership duty.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP MEANS INVOLVEMENT IN ISSUES THAT MATTER

“One of the great thing about the USA is the fact that the people retain the option, the right and the responsibility to decide who governs them… until they don’t! The only thing which prevents a tyranny is the action of the people to retain and exercise the right to vote. It is the right to vote which defends and guards every other right from being trampled, subverted, ignored or removed.

​We may disagree on many other issues and matters of state, local or even national politics, but the truth remains, when we fail to lead by voting we do the greatest disservice, we will one day lose the right to vote. I am not asking you to agree with me on any other political issue but this: Exercising the option, the right and the responsibility to decide who governs us by voting is our highest calling as leaders.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS MAKE NOTE OF EVERY PIXEL IN THE MEGAPIXEL OF THEIR VISION

“If the vision you have crafted for your future is for your goals alone, your passion to be a leader requires a revisit. The vision you develop, articulate and present to your team and your potential clients must also have a pixel or three which include them. Every goal and step in the process of reaching that vision in its fullness must consider the humanity of everyone required to achieve it and everyone who will be served by it as well. If they cannot see themselves in the completed picture, buy in will be hard to come by.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ALIGN BY CORE VALUES AS THEIR PRIMARY AFFILIATION

“Who a leader chooses for their inner circle will determine how far they can go in their leadership role. If you are in affiliation with someone or group of someone’s because of a predefined grouping, especially a grouping or division crafted by society, you are at risk of failure and exposed to potential abuse or even harm. A leader must select their inner circle by commonality in their core values. Principle driven relationships have higher demands as well as expectations however they also produce stronger bonds. If you want affiliations which will serve you as you serve them in loyalty and integrity, choose based on core values NOT social labels.” J Loren Norris
