Leaders have a unique challenge when it comes to living out the BTL purpose. Do you see it?
Remember, our purpose at BTL is as follows:
“We awaken, challenge, and together we transform a few individuals, teams, and leaders into ONE. ONE, distinct and deeply connected, that is BTL.”
We believe this hard fought for kinda unity is the height of high performance. All want to be a part of this kinda team. Few ever taste it. So, do you see the leaders unique challenge in leading such a team?
Leaders are called to become ONE with the team, NOT one of them. Many get tripped up here. If you are a leader you’ve got to understand and get comfortable that you may have been one of them. You are NOT now.
Become ONE with them. Not one of them. This word change will always be a challenge for the BTL leader. Distinct and deeply connected is really hard when one of the distinctions is your title, your power, and your position in the pack. ONE with them is the one you want. Embrace this painful position, my friend.
Why is this word change such a challenge for the BTL leader?
Why can’t you be one of them?
Why does this kinda relationship with your team ensure the BTL leader will be embracing Acute relational pain?
Why can’t the BTL leader just keep his distance and lead like Xerxes from the mountaintop?
Why, why, why?
