Leaders are readers!

When we see this quote, what comes to mind? Books?

Effective, great and intuitive leaders read other things in addition to books, which sets them apart from others.

1. Leaders are readers of their situation.

In all kinds of circumstances, leaders pick up on details that might elude others.

@JohnCMaxwell #leadership #Accelerate #BeDeliberate #MADIsTheNewCurrency #HRwithEM
They don't need to sift through stats, read reports, or examine a balance sheet. They know the situation before they have all the facts.

@JohnCMaxwell #leadership #Accelerate #BeDeliberate #MADIsTheNewCurrency #HRwithEM
2. Leaders are readers of their resources.

Leaders focus on mobilising people and leveraging resources to achieve their goals rather on using their own individual efforts.

@JohnCMaxwell #leadership #Accelerate #BeDeliberate #MADIsTheNewCurrency #HRwithEM
3. Leaders are readers of trends.

Intuitive leaders can "smell out" when something is happening, when conditions are changing, and when trouble or opportunity is coming. They can look years, even decades ahead.

4. Leaders are readers of people.

Reading people is perhaps the most important intuitive skill leaders can possess.

After all, if what you are doing doesn't involve people, it's not leadership.

@JohnCMaxwell #leadership #Accelerate #BeDeliberate #MADIsTheNewCurrency #HRwithEM
And if you aren't persuading people to follow, you aren't really leading.

@JohnCMaxwell #leadership #Accelerate #BeDeliberate #MADIsTheNewCurrency #HRwithEM
5. Leaders are readers of themselves.

Leaders must know not only their own strengths and blind spots, skills and weaknesses, but also their current state of mind.

@JohnCMaxwell #leadership #Accelerate #BeDeliberate #MADIsTheNewCurrency #HRwithEM
Why? Because leaders can hinder progress just as easily as they can help create it.

The END!!!

Ah, a Kenzie guess. So, you know...a fact.
Well...he's gonna die.

1) Okay, Anons. I may need some help digging on this one.

My reach is rather small, when posting my own content, so this may not travel very far. It's a chance I'll take.

Maybe, if it's worth looking at, some of you will RT.
2) Awhile back, a commonly seen H-wood noisemaker was screeching about something POTUS did and I decided to look into her a bit to see why she makes so much noise. I wondered if there was something that stood out that could explain her vehement opposition to all things POTUS.
3) I recalled the days when I watched television and vaguely remembered seeing her on some bleeding heart commercial, trying to get money for some cause.

A quick search ensued to find out "Who's the Boss", and it dawned on me that maybe digging her partner org would yield MOAR.

#OSHO

#Surrender doesn’t depend on the object, it is a quality that you bring into your #being. To whom you surrender is irrelevant.

Any object will do. You can surrender to a tree, you can surrender to a river, you can surrender to anything, your wife, your husband, your guru.
Even through stones, people have attained because it is not a question at all to what you #surrender.

You surrender, and that brings the whole thing, that opens the door. Surrendering, the effort to surrender brings an opening to you.
If you are open to stone, you become open to the whole existence, because it is only a question of opening. How can you be open to a stone, and not open to a tree?

***On going to India.***

But my visit is a firm indicator of what we see as India's place among our most strategic, and I would even call them "consequential" emerging partners.

Far Left Hate Watch
@FarLeftHate
A thread about what has caused the rise of #Corbynistas and why we must never ever let them near power or those who have facilitated it ever be able to hold positions of power either. #Corbyn is an extremely dangerous man. 1/14
The brainwashing of his now supporters began in school & subsequently found favour within Universities too with their pandering to Palestine whilst totally demonising Israel’s right to exist. The wilful ignorance of the Hamas Charter is symptomatic of the propaganda problem. 2/14
It is this unwillingness to see #Corbyn’s past with any sense of critical thinking which sets #Corbynistas apart from others, they're like the mindless fools at a #Hitler rally, incapable of anything other than group-think. A huge problem as history has already demonstrated. 3/14
