Leadership: Try Something New

 

 

Good morning Leaders!

 

Here is a wonderful, humorous quote to ponder from Mark Twain.

 

“Take your mind out every now and then and dance on it.  It is getting all caked up.”

Mark Twain

 

Now get out there and try something new.   Be creative.  Make it a great leadership day.

 

God bless you!

The Influential Leader Enlarges People

By Mark Bowser

“See the person you want to mentor as they can become,
not as they currently are.”
Mark Bowser

“Mentoring is pouring your life into other people
and helping them reach their potential.”
John C. Maxwell & Jim Dornan
(Authors, Becoming A Person of Influence)


“Lead them step by step to the person they can become.”
Mark Bowser


Once you know an individual’s strengths, the next step is to enlarge them. Enlarging people is mentoring them. There are four steps to the successful enlarging/mentoring process.

How to Enlarge People

One, give them access to a training library. A training library is having access to personal development books, audio, video, DVD programs. Encourage them to become readers. Research shows that if we all commit to reading one book a month in whatever area we choose to develop ourselves in, that in five years, we will be in the top 5% of experts in that area in the world. That is powerful, but it also shows how few people take action on this. So, what kind of time commitment are we talking about for the average reader to read one book a month? About 15-30 minutes a day. That’s it. A small discipline that can lead to your success. Go to the website address below to Executive Books where you will find a listing of great books that you can purchase. http://toolscart.com/comersus6f/store/affiliates/standard_default.asp

Research also shows the value of listening to audio programs. For example, I think it was the University of Southern California who discovered that if we live in a metropolitan area, that in our commute to work we could gain incredible knowledge by listening to audio programs. They found out that we could gain the knowledge of a college associates program in three short years just by listening to audio programs during our commute. Incredible! For a listing of great audio programs you can purchase, then visit my websites at www.MarkBowser.com and www.TakeActionSales.com.

Two, open them up to new growing experiences. A growing experience can be just about anything. It can be being a member of a committee, a project team, or attending a training seminar. Growing experiences not only help us improve, they help motivate us too.

Three, challenge them to success. This means stretching your team member outside their comfort zone. There is no real growth without stretching. Just like an athlete who stretches before competition, stretching outside our comfort zone prepares us for future and greater success. One caution: don’t over stretch your team member. In other words, stretch them outside their comfort zone but not too far outside their comfort zone. Just like a baby doesn’t go from crawling to running, we must let them walk before they run.

Four, set them up to succeed. Remember, success breeds more success! Our job as leaders is to provide our team members with everything they need to succeed. If that is training, then give them training. If that is resources, then give them resources. If that is help and support, then give them help and support.

Believing in and Enlarging your team members is a prerequisite for your team’s success. Do this and you are virtually guaranteed success.

The Three Facts of Leadership by Mark Bowser

There are Three Facts of Leadership. If we understand these facts then our influence has the opportunity to grow. And when our influence grows so does our effectiveness as leaders.

THREE FACTS OF LEADERSHIP

1. One person can make a difference
2. Start leading today
3. The office doesnt make the person

Fact Number One: One Person Can Make a Difference

This is probably not a new saying to you, but what pictures came to your mind when you read that statement? If you are like many people, it was pictures of Billy Graham, Martin Luther King, Jr, Mother Theresa, Ghandi, and many others. However, do you see someone missing from that list? I do. That someone is YOU!

Mother Theresa didn't go out to become a saint, she went out to save one dieing person. She was walking down the street and saw a person dieing in a gutter. She said to herself, That is not right. Everyone should die with dignity. And the rest they say is history. Great leaders, great physicians, sales champions, and consultants figure out how their influence can touch a life and by doing that their influence may touch hundreds, thousands, and maybe even millions of lives.

So, the question is where can your leadership grow to make a bigger difference then you are today? You are probably making a difference, but how can your leadership grow? You make a difference and people need you! To read more click this link http://www.markbowser.com/Corporate%20Training%20-%20%20The%20Three%20Facts%20of%20Leadership.htm

Great Leaders Capture the Power of Vision

By Mark Bowser

 

 

Throughout time, great leaders have always had vision.  Vision is one of the most important elements to being a champion.  The Ancient Writer states it this way, "Where there is no vision, the people perish.    Vision keeps us on track.  It even shows us where the track is.  So, if vision is so important to success and happiness then where do we get it?  To read more click here http://www.markbowser.com/Corporate%20Training%20-%20%20Great%20Leaders%20Capture%20the%20Power%20of%20Vision.htm

Leadership & Mediocrity

Good morning Leaders!

Here is a great quote for us to ponder:

"Anybody who accepts mediocrity--in school, on the job, in life--is a person who comprises, and when the leader compromises, the whole organization compromises."
Charles Knight

Make it a great leadership day. God bless you!

Leading At Home

Ronald Reagan said, “All great change in America begins at the dinner table.”  As we are all so busy, many times the ones who want and need our leadership the most are the ones who get it the least.  Let’s all re-commit ourselves to lead our family today, often, and always as a servant.

 

Make it a great day.  God bless you!

Pick Up Where Other Leaders Left Off

It was Thomas Edison who said, "I started where the last man left off."
Pretty good advice for leaders. We don't always have to start from scratch.
We can stand on the shoulders of the leaders who came before us. Give it
some thought. Whose project and influence can you build upon today?

Make it a great Leadership Day. God bless!
