Leadership Development Logic

As we go through the leadership and development series, I will be going through all of the diverse mindsets, principles & habits of people that have achieved success, as well as the real skills you can build up so you can take this information and utilize it out in the real world. Leadership and Development Principle: The more we can see, the more options are accessible to us. Since our beginning, humanity has continuously been on a constant journey to grow in awareness about the world we live in so we can make better decisions, we have even found a way to design tools so we can notice more of what we have available to us, from utilizing hot-air balloons in the Civil War, to satellites used today. As technology has moved forward, so has the ability to view things from a better, elevated perspective. Just like when you are struggling with a situation, merely taking a step away and looking at the problem from another perspective can be enough to help move your thinking to a higher state of mind. It's tough to observe a way around a brick wall when it's literally 3 inches in front of you. All you have to do, if it's possible, back away from it. Detach yourself from it for a moment and allow your mind have a rest & come up for air. Just letting your mind that time to refresh will allow you to spot all kinds of creative possibilities that you were blind to before. Using this simple leadership and development tactic can also make us really think about what we're really trying to accomplish, and possibly re-evaluate if where we're going is really a good place to be. This can be a critical moment that can help you correct course or move on to a more valuable goal. Heroes become heroes when they learn to look at situations from an elevated position. This allows them to see new solutions to old problems, and alternative paths as opposed to dead ends. Do just this, and you will find alternate routes to your destination where before there were only dead ends. There will always be more than one path to your goal. Through creativity, patience and persistence you will find a way to bring your dream into reality. Leadership and Development Principle: Persistence Can Conquer All "Never give in. Never. Never. Never. Never." -Winston Churchill Make a resolute decision to decline to surrender. When you choose to keep going in the face of your circumstances, life has a tendency to celebrate our decision by meeting us halfway. New options seem to show up out of nowhere. Things we never saw before tend to spring to life. You might get refused 1,009 times, but if you stay steady in your vision, your goals & dreams in the end someone will say yes to you. and then another, and then another. You can win merely by refusing to quit. You may have a multimillion dollar vision floating around between your ears, and what will ultimately make that idea come to life is your unconditional determination to see your goal through to the end, and keep working until you get what you want. Sheer determination makes or breaks us.
