Complexity is when the variables have variables. Helping make complex ideas into straightforward processes is one of the best ways to help others while becoming more valuable.
Staying Flexible = Stronger Impact
The best leaders and sales executives (sales is leadership, leadership is sales) adjust their message to what the audience needs to hear. The meaning and goal doesn’t change, but how it is presented does. This requires listening, the requires understanding, this requires flexibility.
When someone has one message and doesn’t know how to change it to make it more acceptable, to make it more effective, they will never reach their potential.
Being flexible is more than just adjusting.
The first step is caring enough to be aware of the needs and wants of others. Once awareness is attained then step two is discerning what needs to be changed. The third and final action is to adjust the words and presentation in a way that connects with your intended audience.
Design, Create, Encourage, Support
Real leadership is creating and defining a future while bringing that vision to life through encouragement and support.
Numbers and Judgement
Numbers are important.
But, not as important as people.
No amount of great analytics should ever replace experienced human judgment.
Set Goals For Growth
The best way to read, is with a goal in mind.
The best way to learn, is with a goal in mind.
The goal allows your mind to accept, assimilate, understand, and comprehend what is most important for you to achieve your goal.
The Right Combo
Some people will tell you that if you work hard you will find success.
But, that is just not true.
Remember, your success is a combination of doing the right work with the right people.
Help & Be Helped
If we want to help, we must stay curious.
If we want to be helped, we need to allow others to be curious.
How To Feel Bad
People who try and create meaning in places that are outside of their ultimate purpose will never feel complete.
People who search for approval from those not on their journey, on their team, or in their corner will always be unhappy.
Created But Never Found
You can’t do it.
I can’t do it.
No one can.
Nobody ever will find fulfillment.
Fulfillment is created not found.
Helpful Is Better
If you are kind you are generous or helpful.
If you are nice you are pleasant to be around.
You can be kind and not nice.
You can be nice and not kind.
If you can’t be both, be kind.
