When your people are struggling, don’t leave them alone. When they are lost, bring them back to where they are supposed to be.
Empower them. Show them the way forward. That is what great leaders do.
The question is, ‘Is that what you are doing right now?’
According to Joe Loizzo and Elazar Aslan, ‘If we want to arrive at our full potential in business or life, we must expand our awareness.’
‘When we’re not self-aware, we’re not able to self-correct for our negativity bias and unconsciously close ourselves off to what’s good in ourselves, other people, and the situations we face.’
‘When we interact with others, we can become more focused on who we think they are than on who they truly are or what they’re saying.’
‘When we change the quality of our input and the way we process information, not only does our perspective expand and changes, but we see more clearly and completely what can be changed in our organization or in any given situation.’
‘Developing clarity in any one moment is like standing on a threshold that can lead to a new way of being based in the trait of self-awareness.’
‘When conflicting intentions motivate our actions and reactions, they create a dissonance that detracts from our effectiveness.’
‘What makes boundless leadership different from conventional leadership is that it allows us to observe, check, and adjust what our minds are doing at any given moment.’
‘As boundless leaders, metacognition allows us to push our capacity for self-awareness much further, so we’re reaching the full scope of what is happening in any given situation- with fewer or even no unseen biases or limitations.’
‘The path to boundless leadership is not about accumulating more knowledge and skills or remedying our deficiencies to improve our leadership. Rather, it’s a counterintuitive path that begins with exposing and eliminating self-limiting obscurations, so we can gradually access and develop our unlimited yet dormant potential for thriving.’
‘Compassion is not about being nice or pleasing others- it’s about relating with accurate empathy, concern, and skill to the reality of other people’s lived experience, a vital step toward social cooperation that explains the powerful win-win biology and psychology of positive emotions evident in the new fields of affective neuroscience and positive psychology.’
