4 Things That Good Leaders Are Good At That Prevent Them From Being GREAT Leaders.

Good leaders are good at grinding out those difficult weeks that come with big decisions and many business critical things outside of their control. The trouble is that the grind creates survival habits and a survival environment that serves to make these weeks more stressful and the rest of the time recovery for leader and company.

Great leaders step back and find the perspective shift required to embrace what ever comes allowing them separate their choices from their current level of certainty about the future. Whether chaos or calm, it’s chop wood carry water.

11 Questions Great Leaders Must Be Able to Answer in Order to Navigate the Ups and Downs of Business and Life

Well I say must, it’s more if you want to be happy and health and have a fun life.

Answering these questions will REALLY help.

I am yet to meet a good leader who recommends chancing or hoping their way to success.

Often though I find that there are clear systems for the business but there are rarely clear system for maintain themselves as well as some of the most challenging human aspects of business and life.

This means that business often becomes the safe haven FROM life.

Those leaders who manage these things MOST skilfully have a clear answer for each of the following questions.

3 Things that Guarantee Even the Best Leaders will Struggle with Energy, Time and Mental Presence

1. ADDING MORE ACTIONS

2. Using FORCE and WILLPOWER

3. Expecting MOTIVATION to be enough

It doesn’t matter how much you have had enough of your, low energy, constant phone use or working into the evening, ADDING more actions to an overwhelmed system will always result in more overwhelm.

FORCING in the new actions you THINK will help will always result in dropping it when motivation is low or something more critical comes up.

They Told me I was Arrogant, that Hurt

I’m fat so I’ll act like I think a fat person would.

I’m a loser so I’ll act like a loser would.

We enter into a never ending spiral of self hatred or something.

Really what we’re looking at is a flaw in the English language.

We can’t actually BE any of those things.
