Fearless Leadership and Perspective!

I wasn't planning on posting again so quickly but just got the urge to reinforce PERSPECTIVE AND LEADERSHIP. It's just too important.

Think about it: are you facing a stressful or potentially stressful situation at work? Been upset or frantic about a deadline or a conflict situation? Facing a problem with your corporate strategy implementation or your leadership succession planning in the organization? A BIG problem? Dreading it already, going over it and over it in your mind?

Think PERSPECTIVE. Put it in PERSPECTIVE. Ask yourself:

• Am I missing an arm or a leg?
• Am I living in a war torn country?
• Am I dying of a terminal illness?

If the answer to all – or ANY – of these questions is “no” – then you really have no problem!

Trust me – you can work out any “problem” at work – much easier than having to deal with missing your eyesight or a leg. Or having to run from bombs exploding over your head or right in front of you, or snipers shooting at you. Are you experiencing any of that in your corner office or cubicle? I bet the answer is no….. (and if it is “yes” then you don’t need this advice ...).

Just felt the need to reinforce this point for instant “stress-relief” and getting the job done ….. remember how important PERSPECTIVE is.

• Ask yourself any or all of the questions above
• Understand the importance of perspective
• Appreciate the power and control over your stress that putting things in perspective gives you
• Move ahead – you’ll be fearless now (or at least more fearless than before… save yourself the expensive therapist)

Simple. Healthy. Common sense.

Be fearless!
