Ep.57_Moving through the Dark Cloud

Loneliness and isolation: We think of leaders as being surrounded by people all the time, but the old adage is true—it really is lonely at the top.

The sense of isolation is even more pronounced, and its effects more significant, during challenging times.

Self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy: From time to time we all feel inadequate and start to question and mistrust themselves.

Tapping into your capabilities and competencies can provide the confidence you need to overcome times of self-doubt.

Fearful of letting people down: Most leaders ascribe to a set of rules and standards, and they hope people are pleased with the work they do.

Especially when you’re trying to achieve something significant, it’s important to remember that you can’t always please everyone.

Afraid of public failure: We may teach that failure is a component of eventual success—and it is—but it’s still something that everyone dreads.

When leaders wiped out it’s time to get out of their own head and look objectively at failure as a learning experience.

Scrambling to get everything accomplished: We all tend to have a lot to do on any given day. That daily pressure is magnified for leaders, who have their own things to accomplish and have to make sure everyone on their team is performing well.

Laboring over their weaknesses: Most people hate to admit they have weaknesses. I’m a big believer in identifying your weaknesses and leveraging them.

Struggle with criticism: Leaders learn early on that everyone has an opinion about their actions and thoughts.

The Dark Cloud is a part of leadership, it brings lessons to be learned and opportunities to be shared. If you can find meaning in your struggle you will succeed as a leader.

-When you speak it counts.

Others follow your example.

-What you do matters..but How you do is key.

-This is usually present before your Leadership Role, because it tru to you.

You insist on excellence.

Aristotle said,

“we are what we repeatedly do, and therefore excellence is not an act but a habit.”

-You act rather than talk.

You have a positive attitude.

Positive, optimistic people make people around them happy.

You genuinely care about others.

If you spend time supporting, guiding and sharing your knowledge with those around you, giving them the opportunity to achieve success, and if you care about their well-being and do all you can to help them attain their own success, you have a leader with-in.

You are confident and passionate.

Being confident means moving with assurance, being passionate about what you believe and refusing to let anything get in your way.

Title: Is your Leadership Refreshing?

?Why…think about this..imagine spending a few hour in the hot sun…

What would be more appropriates: a hot bitter drink? or a cup full of ice filled with tea?

Which would be more refreshing?

Which would you look forward to?

Which would you prefer?

And which would you offer to someone else?

We would choose the more REFRESHING drink.

In today episode Im gonna share 6 keys that make up a “Refreshing Leader”

I have also created an illustration to better understand the “Refreshing Leader” idea: on Instagram @sam_clp2020 / and reminder to follow us and subscribe to out podcast and help spread the word…

Here are the 6 keys to be a Refreshing Leader

-This is important because a leader should be consistent; from project to project and person to person. People should be worried about which version of you will show up again.

-when we’re in the middle of a project and stress is high. Or if someone makes a mistake…we must remember that the circumstance at hand can be fixed. And although it true we must at time correct people and train them to avoid making the same mistake again. But we will never help the  situation by talking down to someone; and taking advantage of or positions. A Refreshing Leader is always Respectful.

-This one is simple; it’s not all about YOU. Listen and Care about what other have going on and look for a way you help.

-Your probably wondering how does Courage make one a Refreshing Leader? In the journey of a leader, test will come and even opposition. And teams have set backs, and this can bring discouragement with in the team. But when a leader is Courages and the team know it…test, set-backs don’t carry as much power. As a result the teams mind-set won’t be “it all over” it will be more like; “get ready”…

-Good People make the Best Leaders/This is so important; imagine working on a projects for hundreds of hours. And the main reason is because its gonna help many people. It will be easier to sleep at night…know that the Leader can be trusted…strong Morals and Principles.

-Its hard to be a part of any team where your not appreciate. At times I heard of Leaders setting really high expectation for their team…and until and if ever those expectation are meet…Gratitude is merited. But a Refreshing Leader give Gratitude through out the journey…making their team stronger and more confidante along the way, increasing the chance for success. So Good job and Thank You are simple words but powerful in Building great TEAMs.

Ep.54 / Title: Lessons from the Palm Tree

—3 take aways that make a Palm tree..strong.

—Leadership growth can come from many areas, a leader must keep their eyes and ears open. “There is always a lesson to be learned and experience to be gained.”

Key#1—-To be Grounded

• You are at peace with yourself, and therefore act from a place where you are at peace with others and the world – even those who disagree with or might threaten you.

• You live without fear for your selfhood – that is, who you are as a person.

• You experience no fear of losing the admiration of others.

• You do not have to be right; you act with humility.

Everything or anything that someone else might say is OK for consideration. There is no need to defend, explain, or rationalize yourself. You are able to learn.

Key#2—-Flexible like a Palm Tree

Flexibility is an increasingly important trait in a rapidly changing world and social environment.

Flexible leaders are those who can modify their style or approach to leadership in response to uncertain or unpredictable circumstances. In addition, flexible leaders can adapt to changes as they come.

-Overcoming challenges by learning

Every Leader encounters obstacles whenever they set out to accomplish a goal. Leaders must help their people and their team succeed by overcoming these challenges.

The best way for any leader to overcome challenges is to step back and see what is working and what is not working. This is a skill called learning agility, and it is a critical skill for all leaders since they cannot be expected to know how to do everything.

-Use appropriate leadership styles

Leaders must be flexible and adaptable in using a style that fits the situation and their organization.

The best leaders will be flexible and move from one style to another is most appropriate for their situation and their team.

-Adopt plans to changed circumstances

Planning is an essential part of any successful team endeavor; however no plans are perfect and the leader must be flexible to adapt the plan to changed circumstances.

The best leaders plan for the future and for contingencies; however, they also know that plans must be adapted when the planning assumptions are no longer valid.

Although the plans may change, the leader will still try to operate in concert with their core values.

These are just three ways that demonstrate why leaders must be flexible and adaptable.

Effective leaders must have:

1.situational awareness. They

2.evaluate the information that is available to them and make adjustments in their approach, style, and plans to achieve success, but still remain

3.true to their values.

Although leaders need to demonstrate perseverance to achieve their goals, they must also be flexible and adaptable in their approach to accomplish their mission. Knowing when to stand firm and when to be flexible is the art of leadership.

Key#3—-Always aim HIGH

The Palm tree stretches up and up patiently reaching for the SUN everyday.

Aim High everyday.

Leading when your not Lead

We must accept that a position is not the necessary invite to shine as a leader.

You must remember that a leader shows up; whether as leader or a team player with the qualities, and a leader should always desire to move a project forward and build other up.

“A leader leads with a position and without” CLP

A true leader can help other grow and become better, without expecting anything in return.

The (key#9) truth is we will always be developing our leadership skills; at times you will be passing on your experiences to help others grow and other time you will learn from others leadership styles.

Here are some ways to lead when your not the LEAD:

How To Lead When You Aren't The Leader

William Arruda Senior Contributor

Take Carefully Calculated Risks

-Leaders are willing to take on the hard problems – those that most people avoid.

-They are willing to speak out rather than go along with something they feel will be a mistake.

-This means being strategic and looking at all sides of an issue and the consequences of various actions.

Acknowledge Others

-Leaders don’t wait to receive gratitude; they freely bestow it upon others – thanking their peers, subordinates and managers.

They publicly express appreciation, and they recognize others for their contributions.

-Give kudos to your peers.

Being willing to share praise and spread the spirit of positivity .

Initiate

-Leaders are proactive and self motivated.

-Maintain a perspective on the ultimate mission, identify needs, and act to fulfill these needs.

-Pursue the best processes, innovate.

Exude Optimism

-Leaders stay above the fray and don’t get mired in blame, negativity or office gossip.

-Positivity is attractive; Smile, exude your can-do attitude, surround yourself with other positive people and steer clear of Debbie Downer.

Think Outside The Hierarchy

Example:

“Someone offered to lead a “go-green” initiative – first for their team, then for their department, then for the office, then for the entire organization. They quickly became known as a leader.”

Mentor Others And Reverse-Mentor Superiors

-You don’t need a long title to make a difference in the lives of others.

-Reverse mentoring is another visible, practical way to show your leadership skills to someone senior to you.

-It’s a powerful way to get on the radar of leaders.

-True leadership is not about rank or job titles.

-Having a perspective that extends way beyond the list of tasks on your daily do-list will help you demonstrate your leadership even if you don’t have the title.
