The BTL process for building strong individuals, teams, and leaders is a lengthy and meaty one. There aren’t shortcuts to building excellence and taking the long way ’round will oftentimes feel quite lonely. Because it is.
Our aim is to “Awaken, Challenge, and together Transform a few strong individuals, teams, and leaders into ONE. ONE, distinct and deeply connected, that is BUILT TO LEAD. This is why we are here.
We begin our work with the head of the system, or as close as we can get, because building here has the widest spillover effect. Gains here, trickle down so to speak. Our aim is to build the head of the system into a leader. This sounds easy. It is NOT. Building a leader is REAL, HARD, WORK. A leader, you see, is a believer.
Leaders are believers.
Leaders believe that they are the problem. Leaders believe that they are the systems most limiting factor. Leaders believe that they are their own worst enemy. Leaders believe that they have blind spots and live in an information vacuum of growing proportions. Leaders believe that they have the team they deserve. Leaders believe that they must model the way, embrace ACUTE pain and suffering, and embody truth in LOVE. Leaders believe that their vision is worth dying for. Leaders believe that only a “damn few” will ever come alongside. Leaders believe that they are NOT victims. Leaders believe that they are overtuned to their own justice thread tweaks and undertuned to their teams. Leaders believe that “my way is the highway,” and they listen to their teams highway and are open to finding the best way ’round. Leaders beliefs inspire because leaders are infused from something beyond themselves.
At BTL we are in the business of building a damn few that are leaders. We invest most of our building efforts in building ourselves. We believe that we cannot take our clients further than we’ve gone ourselves. So, we keep climbing.
Leaders are believers.
Would your team sense and smell your belief in yourself, in them, in your vision, in…
