Leadership

Perhaps we all may benefit by reading and internalizing what it means to be a level 5 leader

See this page; and on it be sure to read this excerpt from Good to Great. Borrowing on words within Good to Great that were apparently once expressed by a paper industry hall of fame inductee (Darwin Smith), perhaps it is good to never stop trying to be qualified (perhaps this is something we all can more so apply to increasingly make quality and value more inherent within ourselves and our interconnected universe).

The top priorities for Obama’s CTO

Perhaps cast a vote, e.g. for improving accessibility in remote areas (perhaps you will somehow be a catalyst for there being, by or before 2020, high-speed Internet to the vast majority of homes on the planet, including the vast majority of homes in rural areas). Perhaps you will somehow help the CTO determine priorities for making quality from various perspectives (e.g., quality of life), increasingly intrinsic and pervasive for the betterment and benefit of all.

Leadership is…

It may be that as each person practices humility and develops a mindset that opens them to connecting to and maturing common wisdoms, they are helping to enable the powerful intentions of something far greater than ego and pride. It may be that all can be leaders, and that leadership is about caring and the courage to right wrongs for the benefit of all. It may be leadership is about empowering all to be leaders for helping ensure the quality they produce, affect and contribute towards. It may be that increasing empowerment requires looking within the cores of waves of trust to ensure the intent of each action of each person includes benefit for others. It may be that looking within values, the metaphysics of quality (e.g.), and the work of others (e.g., Covey, Dyer and many more), may be necessary for the collective to increasingly enable greater dimensions of intrinsic and pervasive quality and value. It may be that a mindset for goodness is associated with continually achieving greatness and ever higher forms of social responsibility. It may be that pursuing unimagined to-be-discovered dimensions of excellence means increasingly moving towards simplicity. It may be that increasingly integration of work and life will enable greater global forms of balance. It may be that software, technology, information and people will increasingly work better together to make things continually better before, by and beyond 2020.

For those who may wonder, this blogger enjoys home, employment and life and simply wishes the best for all in present and future.

The way of Leadership and ensuring the success

Learn to better know the way by looking within and trusting self and others. Leaders can stand back and shift from control and entitlement to radical humility in order to more so respect, reward and empower the team so they say, “We ensured quality, inherently” and actually do. However it may be that it is important even for leaders (or perhaps especially for leaders) to internalize, with foresight, that standing too far in the background may not always be best. People may need to see you periodically to be reassured that you care, have awareness, provide valuable insight and are inherently part of the team as one of the key contributors to success.

You may not find the coach on the ice during the game, but you typically see them with the team during the big game, and often on the ice in practice sessions leading to the big game. The GM and other management may not be immediately in view of the players during practices or games; however are likely catching parts of the action while thinking about what may be needed to increasingly ensure the success of the business.

It may be that teams gearing up to brainstorm on potential improvements may like to whiteboard on enhancements associated with the six W’s of Leadership… who, what, when, where, why and the way (i.e. the how). Something to think about perhaps while you prepare to increasingly learn about and be a contributor to the evolution of a profession and its interrelated possibilities for ensuring the success of business, and in general improvements to the quality of life throughout the global community.
