Guide Your Team - Live Your Dream!
Like never before leaders in all industries across our nation are being called forth to take a stand for a new way of operating. Employee layoffs is the number one reason many companies are left scratching their heads wondering HOW they will get the same amount of work done with less people to perform the tasks necessary. Inversely, employees are left, if they are lucky, wondering if anyone in upper management will motivate them or listen to them in this time of need. In order to succeed in business today, corporate leaders must re-invent their business model. The companies, who best operate with cooperative relationships, demonstrate sensitivity to emotional intelligence, and build a foundation of accountability, will not only survive the shift but excel greatly.
I think of success and motivation as such:
While snowboarding on a crisp March day on Mammoth Mountain in California, I find myself at the top of the mountain. I stop to take in the brisk air, the sun and the breathtaking view as I think to myself, “Yes! Perfect! Here I go.” The thrill of taking on the mountain excites me and my need for a safe thrill, I am not one for crazy speeds or death drops. Snowboarding down the long run with the wind at my face brings a smile to me. Why? I had just learned how to ‘board last weekend and am taking on the big-run for the first time. My goal has been reached and success is mine to take!
When I am faced with an obstacle on the run, I maneuver around or over it, think, “no big deal,” and move on. I have prepared myself for these moments. I finally arrive at the bottom and see the line of people in line for the trip back up, they are ready to tackle the mountain just as I had done. The thrill!
I begin to think, “how much time will it take to get back to the top? Is it worth it? Boy, I can’t believe I have to STAND here and WAIT!”
Just for kicks, think about your life.
How do you live each and every day of your life? Are you going downhill or uphill? Do you like the thrill of the ride or do you complain about the position you are “in?” Do you have a direction you are heading or do you just hope the lift you have taken will take you to the right place?
Take inventory or your life, today, as it stands. What are you not doing that will get you to a point in your life that will make you say, “Yes! Perfect! Here I go.”
