Three Steps to Greatness: Using Your Habits to Influence Your Goals
“First, forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit is persistence in practice.”— Octavia Butler, America author and MacArthur
Fellow.
As complex as people are, when it comes down to it, you might consider us intelligent meat machines fueled by chemical reactions and guided, in large part, by programs we call habits. These boil down to
repeated, automated actions—something like those of a robot on an auto assembly line, though not as stringent, and not always occurring in the same order. One of my colleagues almost always makes a large cup of coffee first thing each morning, eats a bagel, and gets to work. After years of doing it daily, he doesn't have to think about the process of coffee-making, nor does he have to remind himself to refill the water reservoir or add new pods to the holder when they run low. He does so without
much thought.
Engaged Leadership: Building a Culture to Overcome Employee Disengagement
Research indicates that less than one-third of employees are truly engaged. The vast majority of employees simply show up to work each day prepared to do the minimum to get by. This problem of employee disengagement is a source of ongoing frustration for leaders of any organization. Not only does it irritate the management team, it demoralizes the productive employees who carry the majority of the work load.
The solution for overcoming employee disengagement is Engaged Leadership … a proactive approach to leadership that involves building consensus for the vision, inspiring employees to pursue the vision, and developing the team to realize the vision. In the midst of managing the business, there must be a focus on developing better leaders who understand the importance of a strong culture with a focus on the employee.
Over the past two decades, Clint has been developing his own approach to leadership, and can help you understand what actions can be taken to develop skills in all three areas, including:
How do Directional Leaders build a consensus for the vision?
How do Motivational Leaders inspire employees to pursue the vision?
How do Organizational Leaders develop the team to realize the vision?
In this program, Clint will discuss the importance of all three aspects of Engaged Leadership and will stress the overall importance of having what he calls a “character core.” He will share a considerable amount of useful information and deliver his message in an entertaining and inspirational style.
