Feed Your Mind-Change The Paradigm (to be an effective leader you must be teachable)
You just looked at your downline numbers and realized there is not much happening. Other than the inititial influx of new people your organization growth is non-existent. Really, nobody is joining your business. The wheels have fallen off.
You’ve done everything the so-called “gurus” have told you but your team remains small and stagnant. You know as an upline sponsor, you need to be an effective leader. One that remains steady, confident to steer the organization toward greener pastures.
There are many things you can do to stay the course. Every network marketer knows that in order for growth to happen, leadership plays a HUGE part. But in order for your leadership to blossom, you must be cognizant of the fact that you don’t know everything…at least not yet.
Today I’m going to share with you the deeper understanding of what it means to be a great leader. First you must understand the deeper psychology of where it all starts then what you to manifest the mindset that YOU MUST BE TEACHABLE.
What Is Leadership And Understanding What Is Really Important To You
Ultimately, leadership starts with your inner voice. Ask yourself:
- What is really important to me?
- How do I want my life to unfold?
- How do I want my life to be lived?
- What gives me enthusiasm? excitement?
- What gives me purpose, passion and meaning…..
to my existence on this earth?
Once you have pinpointed that which is important to you, with your core values as your guide, lead from that place. Start with that mindset.
Value is created by leadership as it is a genuine influence. Inherently, we are all called to lead by pragmatically associating our own life experiences, values and gifts to the unique circumstances we face. Opening the heart is key. Leading effectively requires an understanding that techniques and methods take back seat to the heart and human experiences. Processes basically have no role.
Leadership is a human activity originating from the heart with regards for the hearts of others. Leadership is not a program or formula. Leadership has nothing to do with routine but everything to do with attitude.
On the contrary, the most unique component to leadership is to know when leadership must end. As contradictory as it sounds, the most positive results happen not from what you make happen but rather what you let happen. You must discern when to let go.
Perhaps Abraham Lincoln said it best: “You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man’s independence and initiative.”
5 Practical Approaches Most Overlook To Become The Best Leader You Can Be
There is a saying that “to be a good leader, you must be a good follower. This saying actually makes a lot of sense in the context that a leader must first learn before he can lead. This basically implies that you must first start learning everything you need to learn before you can expect yourself to be good at something.
The same goes for business leaders who want to become effective in what they do. If they want to be productive, they must continually feed their minds and learn the game that they are playing.
1. Accept That You Don’t Know – (don’t be a “know-it-all”)
Although you might be very good at what you do, you still do not know everything. There are still some things that you are not aware of, things that could actually play a role in the success or failure of your business.
The first thing that you need to do in order to become an effective business leader is to accept the fact that you don not know everything. You could be incompetent on some aspects of your business but if you refuse to admit that then you may not take the time to acquire that knowledge. Accept that there are some things you are not privy to yet.
2. Remove Your Pride – (remove that large chip off your shoulders)
It would be difficult for a person to learn something if his pride is in the way. People seldom allow others to teach them if the chip on their shoulders is way too big.
3. Be Open To Change – (a receptive mind is a powerful thing)
One of the main things that make it difficult for most business leaders to feed their mind is their inability to accept change, especially those that go against what they believe in or what they know. This is actually a scary prospect if your business depends on it. If you want to be able to weigh all your options and find the best decision possible you need to learn to be more open to change.
4. Become The Follower – (fall in line)
A business leader is very well-equipped to lead others but he may find it difficult to be led. If you want to become teachable so you can learn more about what you don’t know, then you must learn how to follow instead of leading.
5. Listen To Others – (can’t see the forest for the trees)
One thing that you can be sure of is that not all great ideas can come from you and you alone. Sometimes taking the time to listen to other people can actually provide you with a much broader and better perspective about your business and could potentially help you find the answer that you are looking for but are unable to figure out on your own . Keep in mind that you might be too involved in you business to make the right decisions sometimes.
