Mayor LaRosiliere: An Immigrant’s Story from The Island of Haiti to Mayor of Plano, TX.
Show Title: Harry LaRosiliere: How to Use Your Purpose and Passion to Inform Your Decisions
No matter how much thought, research, and advice you put into your decisions, you will still regret a number of choices you make throughout life. However, today’s guest tells us that the most important thing is to reach a level of total comfort and resolution in the decisions we make, which is only made possible if we keep our purpose and passion front and center as we walk our path.
We address:
What is the best framework for making sound decisions?
How can I identify my purpose and passion?
Why should I not be afraid of making decisions that I may later regret?
Jon and Paul welcome the first African-American mayor of Plano, Texas, Harry LaRosiliere, who shares his guiding principles when making any decision, and his failsafe practice of using his purpose and passion to keep him on the right track as the leader of his community of almost 290,000 residents.
3 MAJOR POINTS DISCUSSED
- Heed the four Ls of leadership when making important decisions. All leaders need to realize that they have to be fully accountable to their people and take responsibility for their actions. To this end, a leader must make sure to LISTEN in order to get the right amount of input from those around them. They must LEARN from their mistakes. Leaders also LEAD BY EXAMPLE, being the first to enter the building and the last to leave. Leaders LET GO and trust their team, giving them the space, they need to succeed. Finally, leaders need to know when to LEAVE, because no matter how successful (or unsuccessful) you become, there is a time to leave your position. Leaders do not build followers. They build other leaders.
