The Best Type Of Leadership FAVORS

Every leader must beware, and realize, he will often be asked to do someone a favor. While this activity comes with the job, there is often a fine line, between doing something ethically and appropriately, and behaving in a way, which might either actually be, or perceived as being, inappropriate and unethical! The over - riding way, to determine which it is, might be considering who benefits, and why. While a leader should seek to enhance his constituents experiences, and make changes for the better, these changes must benefit the masses, rather than the few, be determined from a needs - basis, and serve those in similar situations, equally. Let's consider, from a mnemonic perspective, the best types of leadership FAVORS.

1. Find facts; future: Before making these types of decisions, and taking action, one must delve deeply, in order to discover what all the facts, which might be relevant, are! This fact - finding mission must be thorough and unbiased! Focus, not only on a particular situation, or on the present, but on what the possible future ramifications and impacts might be!

2. Attitude; aptitude; attention: Begin without prejudging, but rather maintain an open - mind, and proceed consistently, with a can - do, positive attitude. What might you be willing to do, in order to assure, you fully are prepared to evaluate thoroughly, and accurately? Will you enhance your aptitude, and hone your skills, so you are ready, to respond properly and appropriately? How can you make sure, you pay attention to all the details and ramifications, as well as options and alternatives?

3. Vision; value; values: A leader only becomes capable of making these distinctions, when he clearly understands and owns his vision, for the future, and the reasons it is so valuable! Leading effectively means providing value to stakeholders, while maintaining the purity and intent of his values!

4. Opinions; options; opportunities: How will you distinguish between opinion and fact? How will you determine your opinion? What will you consider, and why? Will you proceed with an open - mind, so as to consider possible, viable options and alternatives? Will you be prepared for opportunities, while seeking to create your own?

5. Relevant; reliable: Will the favors you consider, have an impact, positively or negatively, on either others, or the group, as a whole? Will you focus on addressing relevant concerns, with reliable planning, strategies, and actions?

6. Strengthens; sustainable system: When you consider doing a favor, ask yourself who will benefit, and is this acceptable and fair? Will your actions strengthen the organization, and those you serve? Will doing a favor, will it potentially, negatively impact, the group's ability, to implement a quality, sustainable system?

Leaders must be giving and forgiving, but avoid being taken advantage of, or being patsies! Be careful when someone asks for FAVORS!

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...
