For the last two years the Success Intelligence team has been running a leadership program for 1,000 people. Today, Ben Renshaw and I are facilitating our sixth event for these leaders. Leadership is evolving now. One of the key messages of our program is: leadership is no longer the prerogative of a few; it is the responsibility of us all.
Some people switch off when they see the
word “Leadership”. And yet, real
leadership is relevant to everyone. In
essence, leadership isn’t just about titles, positions, pay grades, and a job of
work; it’s much more interesting than that.
Leadership is about how you show up; living from your heart; and allowing
yourself to be inspired. Leadership is
what helps you to “take a lead” in your life so as to create a life you want to
live. Here are three more thoughts for
your consideration:
1. Success is being yourself:
How you show
up – in your relationships, in your conversations, in your work, in your life –
has a tangible influence on how you experience things. How do you feel about the idea that success is being yourself? The law of attraction begins with an
understanding that you attract what you
are being. Daring to be yourself is
the key to attracting great things in your life.
2. Success is being the goal:
Leadership begins with an awareness that the world
is an effect; not just a cause. The
world would not be the way it is, if we were not being the way we are. “Being the goal” means you have to be what you want.
For example, if you want more love, be more loving; if you want deeper
friendships; commit to being even more of a friend. Whatever you want, be it.
3. Success is being even more
of who you are: What you bring to a situation is
what you are experiencing. If you think something is missing in a
specific situation (a relationship, a conversation, a conflict) – it might be
you. To attract more of what you truly want you have to be willing to be even
more of who you really are. Where, when and with whom could you apply
this principle in your life?
