Passion
is the driving force behind motivation. Your job as a leader is to exude that
passion to your team. Stay in the spirit of celebration. Be
as if.
To inspire and lead, you must keep yourself in the zone. How?
1.
Take
time to reflect.
Take time to reflect on what is happening in your
life. Know what you want to do and be. The Energizer Bunny doesn’t win the
awards—the focused person who is clear and passionate about a mission enrolls
the hearts of those who support that mission. If you have a “doer” personality
and you NEED to take the hill, any hill will do. Move from doing to being.
2.
Vision it possible.
There
is undeniable power in thinking big. Choose beliefs and behaviors that will
help accomplish that vision. Ask yourself these two questions:
What do you want?
What ARE you doing to NOT get
it?
Then
be honest and make the necessary changes.
3.
Commit
to personal growth.
The only way to grow your impact is by
growing yourself. Growth is accomplished by being outside of your comfort zone.
Become comfortable with being embarrassed about what you did yesterday. That
means you’re growing.
4.
Renew
at home.
As
mentioned above, you should never have to sacrifice friendships and family
relationships to be a leader. In fact, when you spend quality time with great
conversation at home, work works better too.
5.
Learn from other leaders. Don't
just read—observe.
Find role models
and mentors worthy of your attention and then do what they do.
Be in a state of growth and you’ll lead with
inspiration.
