Leadership Is Innovation In Action
Leading Innovation…
As part of the launch of our 2019 Midas Touch Bundle we will be talking about big issues, but in a highly condensed format.
Today it is on the connection between leadership and innovation.
If your business is a rising star, you know the power of hyper-fast innovation… and have mastered the leadership skills required for hyper-growth.
If you business is more of a problem child, you will benefit from this thinking.
Winning In Business is a Street-Smart Affair…
Street-Smarts Rule…
It takes all kind of smarts to make the world go around.
Here’s an observation from J. B. Smoove…
“There’s book smart, there is street smart, there’s relationship smart, there’s too many different kinds of smarts to know all of them. Everybody doesn’t know every kind of smart. There’s money smart, there’s movie smart, there’s computer smart. There’s just too many different kinds of smarts for people to know all the smarts.”
Leadership Thoughts…
Leadership…
Leadership can be hard to define and it means different things to different people.
In the transformational leadership model, leaders set direction and help themselves and others to do the right thing to move forward.
To do this they create an inspiring vision, and then motivate and inspire others to reach that vision.
Excellence Is A Prevailing Attitude
General Colin Powell said it best, “Excellence is a prevailing attitude.”
Excellence is about your quality of life… your commitment to being the best you possible… living up to your full potential.
Commitment: The Power of Greatness Within
Greatness…
We all know that to achieve extraordinary results we must be absolutely committed to both, the big WHY behind our actions as well as the expected RESULTS.
Commitment is one of those giant words we see as instrumental to the pursuit of both success and happiness.
It is very much a “believing is seeing” issue.
In TQ-speak, commitment is the 5th C in the 6 C’s of success as found in Success On Purpose:
Clarity of VALUES leads to clarity of VISION…
Clarity of VISION leads to clarity of ROLES…
Clarity of ROLES leads to the absolute CONVICTION that what you are about to do is the RIGHT thing to be doing…
Which leads to the unconditional COMMITMENT to doing whatever is required to achieve the vision…
I Am Grateful…
Three Little Words That Change Everything…
I Am Grateful!
I Appreciate You!
I Love You!
We could go on with word selections, but you get the idea.
Gratitude is a force of nature, woven into our humanity, and when employed, we see magic… miracles… maybe even transformation.
In Search of Honor…
What does the word HONOR mean to you?
Most people think of honor in the same light as respect.
But for most of us, the word has a much deeper meaning, especially if you served in the military.
Take a couple of minutes to focus your attention on the above video.
THINK about the word in context to the ever-changing story of your life.
Smarten Up… Toughen Up… Play to WIN
Focus… Focus… Focus…
An amazing thing happens to people.
When you stop to THINK, great things happen!
Which, of course, is the whole point of The Time Prism… a tool that simply asks you to Turn On… Tune In… and Turn Up your performance.
By getting you to stop for a moment… take a breath… and THINK!
Live for the Moment, Plan for the Future…
There is a simple program that will make a huge difference to your life.
It is best described as “Instant Illumination.”
Where once you were living in a haze, you can now see what you must do differently to attain what you want most:
financial independence… a better career… or even more time for yourself and your loved ones.
