Followers want one thing from their leaders above all else. Spouses want the same. Children need it too.
Anxiety is the enemy and our society has never been moreso. Calm is the antidote. Calm is the one you want. Calm comes from within, period. This is why we begin our work at BTL working like a banchee on our clients CORE. Strength within eliminates anxiety all while creating a strong, stable, sense of calm. Followers, spouses, teammates, and children love it when you’re calm. Calm leaders are collaborative, connected, and clear. All are critical. Funny, huh.
However, none compare to the one thing. The most important thing, according to all kinda research from all kinda places, is not how clear, connected, or collaborative you are. Followers care most about how consistent you are.
Consistency counts. Consistency requires calm regardless the adversity. Consistency is an effect that emanates from a strong CORE. sCORE is the one you want. Like most leaders reading this rant, you probably think you’ve already got one or that you don’t have the time. Either way, you’re hosed.
Only the humble build within, first. Consistency comes from an obsession to look in the mirror and look some more. Consistency comes from taking responsibility and not losing hope. Consistency comes rarely in the world of work because building consistency takes tons of work where no one sees. Consistency comes from closing integrity gap after integrity gap after integrity gap. And, from gaining energy through the process of cutting out your cancer instead of talking about somebody else’s shit.
Today, become a bit more consistent. Build within,my friend. Build calm within…
