a 501(c)(3) organization
I can’t think of a school or youth organization that doesn’t espouse “success habits” in one form or fashion, including those I grew up in. I never understood very clearly the connection between WHAT I was told to do, HOW I was to do it, and WHY. In fact, I was rarely told why; I …
Picking-up from last week’s definition of magnanimity, the success habit unique to leadership, here’s a visual of how to practice it. It’s called the Success Habit Pyramid. Start practicing the other success habits, starting at the foundation and work your way up the pyramid.
...I’ve shared that leadership is executing mission and building strength to execute it more successfully. The unique metrics of gauging our success in leading are practicing the success habits of greatness and service simultaneously – otherwise known as magnanimity and fraternal humility. A few years ago, a friend of mine said, in no uncertain terms …
Last week, I had a chat with our 16-year-old about his plans for studying for his final exams…here’s the lesson I learned during that chat: After asking him to share his plans with me he remarked, “Dad, you only care about the grades on my report card, because it makes you look good!” OUCH! Yeah…that stung! Then, I …
I know I’ve written a lot on defining words we use in leadership strength training. This is because, in the words of my colleague Pierre Koshakji, “Definition is everything.” This is what leads me to the point of this post. I was asked last week: “What is peace?” I have to admit, I didn’t have …
As a quick “visual summary” and follow up to our previous post, INTEGRITY is the FOUNDATION. Without integrity, leadership cannot exist. Integrity is wholeness. Your vocations make-up your whole life. You execute your mission and live your purpose in your whole life. This is being truthful about yourself or achieving your potential. By maintaining integrity, …
All we have been discussing in these first few issues of Weekly TRUTH up to now (the meaning of truth, leadership, mission & vocation) leads us to INTEGRITY. Without it there is no trust and therefore, no leadership. Think about how you can execute your mission, to help others in a very specific way, in each of your vocations and …
I never thought I needed to know anything about the word, “vocation,” because I really didn’t know what it meant. My understanding was too narrow and, believe it or not, I actually thought I was above use of this word! Well, it turns out to have been the opposite. VOCATION is a big, powerful word. …
In this thought-provoking article, we revisit the age-old question posed by Pontius Pilate, “What is truth?” and examine its significance in today’s world. Unpacking the concept from its historical roots to its modern-day applications, we explore truth as a foundational element in leadership, decision-making, and community building. Join us in defining truth’s immutable, objective nature and its role in fostering authenticity and integrity.
...A colleague recently remarked: “What’s the use of a mission? After it’s created, it’s quickly forgotten.” I replied that I thought their statement was largely true, for two primary reasons. Reason #1: Mission and goals go together. Do you set goals? Does it seem odd to set goals without a mission? What if you had …
If you truly want to understand what Leadership is, then it may first be helpful to understand what Leadership is NOT. For example, Leadership is not: having the right, in-born temperament (i.e. “born to lead”) being a good project manager and getting things done possessing or displaying the typical “icons” of success (i.e. bright, shiny …
The Leadership Strength Training definition of leadership has been around 2,500 years since the time of the Greeks and has been improved upon over centuries – executing mission and building strength. It is time-tested. Only the truth stands the test of time. What do you think? How could executing mission and building strength be leadership?
