The Necessary FOCUS Of A True Leader

Why is it, so many people seek, are elected, selected, and/ or ascend to, positions of leadership, but, very few, actually, end up, becoming relevant, quality, effective, meaningful, true leaders? Does it seem to you, few of these individuals, seem to take office. prepared, ready, and with a meaningful, relevant plan, rather than merely embracing the supposed, perceived glory and power of holding some office, and/ or their personal/ political agenda, and self - interest? Wouldn't it make sense, for every new leader, to take a period, from the onset, to fully examine needs, goals, etc, and create, a well - considered, action plan, which offered viable solutions, and direction, to make the organization better, etc? Don't we deserve leaders, who proceed, with the FOCUS to serve stakeholders and the organization's best interests, and are willing to expand the limitations of their self - imposed, comfort zone, rather than proceeding, with the same - old, same - old, irrelevant ideas? With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly review, consider, discuss, and explore, using the mnemonic approach, why doing so, is meaningful, and significant.

1. Faithful; future; fruition: When one seeks a clearer focus, he must make certain, his priority, is based on faithful service and representation, rather than any personal/ political agenda, and/ or, self - interest! Only when one constantly, consistently, looks to the future, and determines needs, goals, priorities, relevance, and sustainability, will his plans, be worthy of bringing to fruition!

2. Options; open - mind; organized; opportunities: True leaders consider various options and alternatives, with a genuine, focused, open - mind. He must do so, in an organized, efficient manner, so he recognizes opportunities, and seizes any, which will make the most difference, for the better!

3. Character; clarity; cooperation; create: One's focus and priorities, generally indicate his true character, and we need leaders with the quality of character, to proceed, with keen clarity, and seek to create, the best, he can possibly do! To do so, the individual must focus on cooperation, rather than polarization, and unifying, rather than creating adversaries!

4. Useful; usable; urgent; urge: Unless one prioritizes useful suggestions and actions, he won't focus, as he must! Great leadership requires usable ideas, and actions, and differentiating urgent issues, from the petty stuff! Will you be ready, willing and able, to articulate a message, which urges others, to join you in your quest?

5. Suggestions; stakeholders; service; sustainable: Are your suggestions, viable, as opposed to empty rhetoric and promises? Will your stakeholders, both actually, as well as perceive, and believe in the quality and direction of your service? Unless/ until, the emphasis is on relevance, as well as well - considered, sustainable solutions, you won't become a quality, meaningful leader!

Do you have the necessary FOCUS, a true leader needs? Are you up to the task?

How Much Are You Able to Give?

Too many a time we feel immobilized by our own chain of negative thoughts. But instead of focusing on what is not going right or how you can get something, have you ever considered the notion of simply giving? For more insights, read on.

Give somebody a call and tell her how much you miss her. Volunteer in your community and raise somebody's spirits. Help somebody reach home with grocery bags. Send a free book to your subscribers. Contribute books to free eBooks websites online. Contribute old clothes, furniture and kitchen utensils to charity. Make somebody laugh. Compliment somebody on how s/he looks.

These are some of the ways you can give. Not only you make the other person happy but you also become happy and satisfied, giving off happy vibes. The Universe acknowledges them and you are rewarded with the stuff you crave for.

Therefore, the more you give, the more you receive. Teach this simple strategy to everyone you come across including your family. In receiving, naturally you experience joy and happiness. So the next time, you awake from bed in the morning, think of how you can give that very day in accordance with your capacity - no matter how small or how big.

Giving actually implies helping others or meeting their demands. For instance, your little daughter wants to ride on the swings at the local park. You are reluctant at first but finally you give in to your daughter's constant demands. While she rides safely on the swings, you see a colleague pass by. You call out to him and you start to chitchat. In the conversation that follows with him, he reveals an important job opportunity which rouses your curiosity and enthusiasm. You take your daughter home and apply for the job. Within two weeks, you attend the interview and are selected. Isn't that cool? In giving entertainment to your daughter, you get the opportunity to land on your dream job. This is a good example of how in giving others some joy, the Universe rewards you further, giving you moments of jubilance.

Summing up, yes, always think of giving others more than what you want for yourself. In the process you will end up receiving more of what you desire. That's how life really works. So remember this simple tip. It will work especially when you are bogged down with low spirits and it will raise your spirits higher than ever, making you skyrocket up the ladder of success.
