Leadership and Management Skills and Qualities
These are 5 SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), that I encourage you to wire into your daily life through consistent practice, because as you know so well, consistency is the mother of mastery. It’s not what you do once every year that is going to allow you to live a legendary life, it’s what you do every single day.
“When we take the concept of management off its pedestal, we can see it for what it is: a technology for organising people into productive capacities. The thing is, this technology is from the 1850s, and we don’t use too many 19th Century technologies anymore, do we? We’ve upgraded most of them. Even though the technology of management is still one of the greatest technologies humankind has ever invented, it’s a technology with a singular purpose — compliance. Management is designed to get people to do what you want them to do, the way you want them to do it. The truth is we still need compliance in our organisations. But more and more we need engagement, and 3 engaged employees out of 10 just isn’t working anymore. If you really want engagement, rather than compliance, you’ve got to use a different technology — the technology of self-direction.”
“Trust is eroding all around us everyday. Conflict and skepticism fill the void. In these challenging times, this former Green Beret explains how to lead people who don’t want to be led.”` ______________________ Legacy

An analysis of whether your most essential assets are anything other than your employees will be evidence of whether you are a leader or simply a manager.The Key …
Behind every storm cloud, there is a bright tomorrow. The key is in knowing how to find tomorrow, today. (Graphic)Perspective
Our perception is greatly based upon our point of view. Create a new perspective, by changing your POV. (Graphic)By Example
Why would we ask our employee’s to perform a task that we ourselves are not willing to do?Where is your passion?
Our passions originate from experiences which have altered our perception …Staff Motivation
Your staff is not motivated by how much you know, but by how much you know, they know. (Graphic)Control & Power
If control and power is what you cherish, you will be no good to those under it. (Graphic)Patience
Patience often surrenders to time, and dreams go unfulfilled… act as if time is fleeting, as it is.
Be Yourself
No matter how hard you try, you can never be something that you’re not.
