Leaders Must PERCEIVE Before They Can Conceive, And Achieve!

You think you're ready to become a leader? Why do you believe you'll be prepared, to make a real difference, for the better? What are your visions, hopes, and priorities, for your term of service? What do you believe can, should, and is able to be achieved/ done? How will your perceptions make a difference, in the way you proceed, what you think is possible, and which alternatives, you will consider/ evaluate, versus those you won't even look at? Pay attention to the adage, Whatever the mind of man can perceive and conceive, man can achieve! Or, as Henry Ford is often credited with saying, You can believe you can, or can't. Either way, you'll be correct. Will you be a possibility - thinker, who is willing to PERCEIVE, or will your biases and prejudgments, lead you away from certain choices, and possibilities? It's important to realize, and understand, without perception, one will be unable to conceive of solutions, and therefore, will never achieve, to his potential!

1. Priorities; plans: What are your priorities, and do they align with the needs, concerns, and objectives of your organization, and those you serve? How will your perceptions, impact your priorities? How will you be able to develop quality plans, without realizing how essential, what you perceive, is, as it relates to effectively planning?

2. Empathy: Remember, while your perceptions are essential, your constituents also have certain perceptions, and unless you address these thoroughly, you will fail to be able to proceed with the necessary degree of empathy, which will earn you supporters, and followers!

3. Reality; relevant: Give yourself a checkup, from the neck - up, to determine whether your perceptions are realistic and meaningful! Will you perceive ideas and approaches, which are relevant, and necessary?

4. Clarity; choices: How well you understand your perceptions, and believe in them, will often dictate the clarity, you will be able to communicate them with! Every leader has choices, and what will drive you to opt for the path you select?

5. Expertise: One gains expertise, not merely based on experiences, but on a combination of these, plus how well you've been trained, have learned, are ready/ prepared, and combined these, to make a real difference. However, the determining factor, is, often, how one perceives of circumstances, and/ or conditions!

6. Ideas; intentions; ideology: The ideas one focuses on, are generally influenced, by perceptions! Always pay close attention, to your true, personal intentions, and ask, if your ideology, is in sync with your group!

7. Views; vision; value; values; visualize: How do you develop your views? Is your vital, vibrant vision, based on personal gain, or service to others? Can you combining quality values, with being a person, of value? What changes and options do you visualize, which drive you positively towards your goals and actions?

8. Example: Why should anyone follow you, until/ unless, you set the example, for others to strive for? How will your perceptions impact that example?

We all know how important achievements are, but one can't usually get to that point, unless he first, is able to PERCEIVE, and conceive! Will you make that type of concerted effort?

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
