MAKE IT A MEMORABLE MOMENT NOT A MEMOIR #STORYPOWER

“No one has time to warm a cup of coffee in the microwave. What makes us think they have time,  or interest in hearing our life story in the memoir format? If you want to connect with people, stories are a great way to communicate. Please respect the time, interests and meaning of the life of the person you are engaging. Let your stories be short, sweet and memorable.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS NEED TO EMPLOY THE ADVICE GIVEN TO CERTAIN CARE GIVERS - NEVER DO FOR THEM...

”There are limitations of ability which are real and insurmountable. There are also limitations which are imagined, implied, and manipulative because they are accepted. Many people who are care givers have experienced this stressful reality. Leaders who fail to acknowledge and take care to lead well, find themselves providing care for those who will not do what they are capable of because they are lead to be dependent rather than autonomous. Some leaders do this to maintain control, other do so out of a lack of awareness.” J Loren Norris

LEAD THE NARRATIVE BECAUSE THE NARRATIVE LEADS EVERYTHING AT EVERY LEVEL 

 “The story you tell you is as impactful as anything ever said to you. If you feel suppressed or oppressed, one of the biggest contributors to the ongoing narrative is YOU. Take time to ask, how many of the stories I tell myself are influencing the decisions I make, the risks I take and the relationships I engage in? The ask how many of the details of those stories are true? The stories which influence your choices which are based on things not true, need to be rewritten. It’s your life, your story. Its time you lead the narrative.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW - KNOWING ALONE CAN BE A LIABILITY -KNOWING AND DOING ARE NOT THE SAME  

“The only thing more destructive than knowing what you’re not supposed to know is to know it and not do what you know. Be that knowledge in regard to diet, politics, religion, finance, or world events, if you know to do better and do nothing, your knowledge is a liability. Please, pursue knowledge and understanding. Apply wisdom, then take action!” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE OF SOME FOLLOWERS

​“Telling lies will eventually catch up to you. Living lies will eventually destroy everything you have worked for. That might lead you to believe that living by and telling only the truth would be a better option. Well, truth is, telling and living the truth will cost you too. The biggest difference is the timing and the emotional physical toll. Truth will cost you more externally but bring with it internal peace, while deception seems to have an immediate reward but leaves you with stress, anxiety, depression and self loathing. Even if you get the job, the position, the title, the relationships you twisted truth to gain, you may find it hard to live with yourself.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP FAIL: BELIEVING A LEADER IS ALL DONE LEARNING

”Leaders must be perpetual learners. A leader who is convinced they have it all figured out is a leader who is more clueless than they know. If hubris permits ignorance and prevents growth, there is more trouble to come. If you are following a leader who is unwilling to learn, you are not going anywhere. Leaders are learners, its as simple as that.” J Loren Norris

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
