#RealLeaders

It is not about telling people what to do, but teaching them how to do it. How can we work together? [email protected]

[#RealLeaders @whyleadandhow]

#RealLeaders know that it is not always the strongest or the smartest that succeed, but those that make the best effort continuously. Continuous Effort = Unlocked Potential.

At the core of every successful leader is relationship building -connecting with people and connecting people with a mission and a vision.

[#RealLeaders @whyleadandhow]

Leaders have power. Some attack, bully, or play the "I caught you" game. Instead of
attack, explore/gather information.
bully, build relationships.
catching people making mistakes, be proactive in preventing mistakes. None of this detracts from the leader's role.

[#RealLeaders @whyleadandhow]

People sometimes confuse hard work and preparation for luck.

[#RealLeaders @whyleadandhow]

Our days are filled with an exhausting whirlwind of activity. Pause and reflect on why you do what you do. In doing so, you can help others discover why they do what they do.

Actions are like stars.#RealLeaders connect stars for people and help them see the bigger picture.

When you are in the business of changing lives, there are going to be times you feel discouraged. Discouragement happens when our expectations, the dreams we want to see come true don’t. When reality reminds us that change doesn’t come easy. How do you deal with discouragement?

[#RealLeaders @whyleadandhow]

Leaders are in the business of changing lives. Change is challenging. It is also means we are alive. It means we have a dream, a mission. We want something better for ourselves and for others. #RealLeaders #ChangeMakers

[#RealLeaders @whyleadandhow]

Leadership is situational. It is about intention. Some lead with the "Gotcha" intent. They look to catch people failing. Others the "Growth" intent providing clear direction, consistent feedback to prevent failing. The first promotes fear. The latter engagement and innovation.

Progress is impossible without change, and those that cannot change their minds cannot change anything. G. Shaw
Key to developing a growth mindset is the willingness and ability to consider that you might be wrong. #RealLeaders #growthmindset #changemakers

#RealLeaders build capacity by sharing resources. They do not keep this information to themselves forcing everyone to have to come through them. They teach people how to nurture and manage those resources and then share. They set people up for success.

[#RealLeaders @whyleadandhow]

Our personal philosophy, our beliefs, mean nothing, unless they are reflected in the choices we make and the actions we take. #RealLeaders #Excellence #Action

[#RealLeaders @whyleadandhow]

The road to excellence is a continuous journey. How we make that journey is up to us. Suggestions for what we can take with us on this daily trek:

Commitment
Kindness
Sense of Joy
Celebrations
Excellence is contagious.

Do not wait for others. Realize the leader inside of you, your own power to make changes and help.

[#RealLeaders @whyleadandhow]

Our days are filled with activity. Schedules are full. It is easy to get frustrated and lose sight of why we do what we do. We will make mistakes. We will also do great things. Be kind and patient with yourself. #RealLeaders help you see and embrace that mindset.

[#RealLeaders @whyleadandhow]

An easy trap for leaders to fall into is the belief our schedules and needs supersede everyone else's. #RealLeaders understand their role is to motivate and engage people in the attaining of goals. This means respecting their importance & earning their respect for your's.

“Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment.” ― Mahatma Gandhi #RealLeaders #KindnessNotFear

[#RealLeaders @whyleadandhow]

If leaders were roosters, what kind of rooster would you be? Are the kind that believes that each morning the sun rises because you crow? Or are you the kind of rooster that crows each morning in gratitude for new opportunity to lead and do good?

Support your local non profit

[#RealLeaders @whyleadandhow]

One of the groups hardest hit by the Great Resignation is non profits--especially CBOs. They provide needed and easily accessible services to people. Salaries are traditionally below the industry standard. That needs to change.
