How To Maintain A CLEAR Head

How To Maintain A CLEAR Head

By Richard Brody

Nearly everyone knows, or has heard, Robert Frost's line, If you can keep your head, while those around you, lose theirs, yet, very few consider precisely what it represents, especially, in terms of serving as a relevant, effective, meaningful leader! One's options, in terms of how one responds to conflicts, etc, includes, either doing so calmly, or losing one's head, and resorting to panic, which often creates relatively unproductive, negativity, etc. Quality leadership necessitates clear - minded thinking, and exceptional perception, so, as to proceed, consistency, with the highest degree of CLEAR thinking, which will always, optimize one's potential, and ability to make the wisest decisions, and determinations! With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly examine and review, using the mnemonic method, what this means, and represents, and how to do so.

1. Character; cooperate; calm; choice: Do you believe you have the quality, of character, the best leaders need? Will you seek, to consistently cooperate, and obtain a well - intentioned, meeting - of - the - minds, for the common good, rather than resorting to an adversarial manner, and the unproductive behavior, of blaming and complaining? Meaningful leaders realize they must remain calm and clear - headed, in order to be, as productive as possible, and make the best choices!

2. Listen; learn; leadership: Rather than proceeding with a My way or the highway, mindset, clear - thinking leaders, maintain the discipline and willingness, to prioritize effectively listening, and learning from every conversation and experience! True leadership only occurs, when one avoids remaining within the restraints of his personal, comfort zone, and clearly, proceeds forward!

3. Energize; empathy; emphasis; excellence: What might you be willing to do, in order to energize, your organization, and stakeholders, in a well - considered, relevant way? Will you prioritize quality empathy, so you place your emphasis, as it might best produce the level of excellence, your group needs and deserves?

4. Analyze; astute; attention; attitude: How might anyone effectively analyze, how to proceed, until/ unless he pays keen attention, in a fully considered, astute way? This requires a commitment to consistently maintaining a positive, can - do, attitude, without any restrictive pre - judgments!

5. Relevant; reasonable; responsive; rationale: Until/ unless one is willing to articulate his rationale and reasoning, in a reasonable, responsive manner, how can he possibly provide clear - cut leadership? Those who maintain a clear head, position themselves, to make reasonable, well - considered decisions, which are most relevant and significant!

Will you be ready, willing and able, to proceed, consistently, despite any temptation to respond, and react, impulsively, with a CLEAR head? The finest leaders do so!

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...
