Where Leaders Should BEGIN


By Richard Brody

How can anyone expect to make any significant, relevant, meaningful difference, as a leader, until/ unless, he is ready, willing and able, to proceed forward, and BEGIN, on his, hopefully, relevant course/ path of action? However, while this may sound obvious/ apparent, the reality is, for most individuals, beginning is one of the most challenging components, of leading! Unfortunately, in my, over four decades of identifying, qualifying, training, developing and consulting, to thousands of actual, and/ or potential leaders, as well as having served in that capacity, several times, I've come to strongly believe, one of the single - biggest obstacles, to quality leadership, is the willingness, to place, the ease of procrastinating, ahead of the challenge, of choosing, to make a significant difference, for the better. With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly examine, consider, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means and represents, and why it is, so important.

1. Benefits; beliefs; bring it: A quality leader focuses on, emphasizes, and prioritizes, developing, creating, and implementing, the most essential benefits, needed by the particular group, and its stakeholders! He must align his personal beliefs, with the mission/ heritage of the organization, and the perceived needs, and values of his constituents! Once this is the mindset, he realizes, it is his responsibility, as a real leader, to bring it, every day, in an inspiring, motivating, relevant and sustainable way!

2. Empathy; emphasis; energy; excellent: Only when one is willing to, and disciplined - enough, to listen, far more than he speaks, and learns from every conversation, and experience, does he use the level of genuine empathy, which prioritizes, and emphasizes, the perceptions, needs, and priorities/ goals, of his stakeholders! When this is accompanied, with inspiring, energy, and a focus on personal excellence, he begins, to become a true leader!

3. Growth; generate goodwill: No organization, no matter how strong it may appear, at a specific point, in time, will remain relevant, and sustainable, unless/ until, it consistently undergoes real growth, and addresses the perceptions, of potential and actual stakeholders! A meaningful leader avoids putting off action, or unwarranted delay, and focuses on how, he might generate goodwill, which attracts others, to become more involved, and committed!

4. Integrity; imagination; ideas: Never abandon your commitment to absolute integrity, for the sake of expediency! Group need to find leaders, who will have the level of creativity, and imagination, to perceive and conceive of, create, develop, and implement, relevant, quality ideas!

5. Needs: Leading must always focus on needs, goals, and prioritizes, in a proactive, focused, quality - oriented manner!

Are you ready to BEGIN your quest, to becoming a true leader? Will you maintain your commitment, focus, and persistence, in a relevant, reliable manner?

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...
