Leadership , it is a very big word that needs lots of things to exist in each one of us. I had the chance to get some definitions for it not from the books i read about or the e-mail lists that i have but from a true inspiring character , it was Stephen Covey in person.
We all had copies of the "7th habits" the most famous book in the last 10 years with the highest number of copies around the world. And most of us got truly inspired by that book and seme of my friends truly used it as a guide to their own life and it really made a difference to them. The question i used to ask myself was is Covey just a deep analytical mind who observe and then draw the magic links that shorten things. The answer was he is not just that ,he analyzed his life and work on his personal corners and based on that results he started to put theories with action plan. I really felt that when i talke dto him in person and when he made his lecture.
"1st things 1st " was the 1st book i read , then the series continues and now i can admit that my paradigms are there and i am moving between them, trying to have balance.
It is a way of life that i have to master , and it is not easy specially when life is moving so fast.
We all enjoyed the Leadership Bootcamp that took place 8th ,9th of March 2010. you learn alot. and one of the most key speakers was Bob Nelson. This Man can give you the shortest way to make your team Happy , to make your work better. I would recommend the "1001 Way to Engergize Your employee" , i got this book and it is amazing and by it i think you will have no problem to energize your team and yourself , as long as your work enviroment supports you ofcourse. and even if it is not supporting you , the chain reaction will give you the support later on.
I recall some words from the book " The Secret" , if you change your mode , you will produce positive frequencies and in return the mode around you will change, I think this is true. I fyou want to complain , then complain , but to yourself so you release the stress but at the end smile to yourself and to others it will make them smile to you too. One told me a nice advice which is " if you node your head - shack your head or face with agree sign- the person who talks to you will smile and will node too. and this is true.
If you have chance to talk to Steven Covey in person , do it as you will feel that this man is writing what he truly believes and it will give you confidence that you can follow.
I think now i am focusing on the "leave a legacy" paradigm , what is yours ?
