Why Leaders Need FRESH Ideas

Why Leaders Need FRESH Ideas

By Richard Brody

The emphasis placed on the significance of changing, is an essential component of any leader's mindset and tool - kit! Unfortunately, many pseudo - leaders, misinterpret this, to mean, Change - for - change - sake, while a true leader recognizes the difference between making relevant changes, and merely articulating empty rhetoric and promises! In order to effectively implement responsible, much - needed change, quality leaders must be ready, willing, and able, to proceed, with an open - mind, willing to consider options and alternatives, instead of merely remaining within the limits of one's comfort zone, with the same - old, same - old, ways! With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly examine, consider and review, using the mnemonic method, what it means, and why, if one hopes to be a relevant, sustainable leader, he must think, outside - the - box, with FRESH ideas.

1. Face facts; furnish; future: Adopting fresh ideas and approaches, does not mean, one should ignore reality, nor, simply do something differently, in a haphazard way! Rather, it must begin with the willingness and ability to realistically face the facts, in order to have a starting point, and position himself, to be able to properly influence, the group, and stakeholders, he serves and represents. It is incumbent upon a real leader, to furnish the level of ideas, which motivate and inspire, and address the perceptions, goals, needs and priorities, which are most relevant and sustainable. Measure the quality of one's leadership, by how it positions the organization, for the future!

2. Relevant; reasoning: Leading must be relevant, or it becomes insignificant and inefficient! One's reasoning must be focused, goals - oriented, and serve the best interests, of the organization, and constituents!

3. Empathy; energy; emphasis: True leaders begin their process, by effectively listening, and learning, from every conversation and experience, so they might exhibit genuine empathy! When this is the procedure, and emphasis, he will consistently proceed, with the level of energy, which inspires and motivates others, to be more involved and committed. How might stakeholders rate the level and focus of your emphasis, and how it might, best serve and represent?

4. Sustainable solutions; strengthens: Shouldn't the duty and responsibility of every leader, be to strengthen, his organization and stakeholders? When one fully considers the current needs and obstacles, in terms of the longer - term necessities, he becomes ready, to perceive and conceive of, create, develop, and implement the best possible, sustainable solutions!

5. Healing; head/ heart: Inspirational leadership emphasizes healing, and bringing people together, for the common good! Only when one motivates and inspires, those he serves and represents, in a relevant way, and considers fresh ideas, and approaches, using both his logical and emotional components, with a head/ heart balance, does he make a meaningful difference, for the better!

If you want to lead, in a meaningful, relevant way, you must be ready, willing, and able, to consider FRESH ideas, with an open - mind! Will you commit to this process and discipline?

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...
