Leaders who can never admit a wrong are not leaders long.
Published on: Dec 7, 2018 @ 14:17 Three words every leader should practice but most can’t hardly say. “I was wrong” or “I stand corrected.” Great leaders know the difference between an excuse, a justification, a reason and a revelation. EXCUSE When something doesn’t happen as it should and we blame someone else for the failure. Subordinates do this often. REASON An explanation of “facts” which prevented something from being accomplished. Some of those facts are real and some are imagined. “I couldn’t get any help because no one understands me.” JUSTIFICATION Some people have all the reasoning in the world why they don’t want to complete a task or project and they will always find something to prevent doing it then explain why the other task was “more pressing or important at the time.” Often looks like the tyranny of the urgent. REVELATION When a subordinate can truly explain why the project was not completed or an action not taken based on information NEW TO YOU as the leader - now its time to OWN UP and admit you were wrong. Leaders who demand and insist on certain outcomes or results without considering all the facts are tyrants. Leaders who can never admit a wrong are not leaders long. https://youtu.be/G2tN18tcqSI Tell It Like It Is TV with J Loren Norris providing daily leadership video lessons for faith, family and freedom.

Insuperable Vision Workshop - Audio Download with worksheets Day after day I meet people who are struggling just to make ends meet. They are adrift in this vast sea of humanity holding on to their job, their family, their home, and their car with all they've got. They see their life experiences and education as the last hope to find their purpose and identity. They gather, fill and stuff all the money they can into every opportune investment. Yet they are empty, frustrated, angry and just plain fed up. We have all experienced that moment; when we find yourself stuck in traffic, yelling at random strangers to do what they wish they could... but can't... GO! The idea that life can be better than it is today is like the flame of a candle fighting for all its worth to stand against the tempest. We all want a better life. Even when life is good, we want more. That idea, that flame, is the hope that lives in the hearts and minds of all of us. Should that flame be extinguished, hope itself may well go with it. It is the rut of hopelessness that traps many would be shining stars and buries that glow from the sight of the world. It is the rut of hopelessness that extinguishes that flame. Lives that would have been a beacon to the wandering are lost at sea themselves. Inspirations of success that would have been the voices crying out to all who suffer are hidden away in their own stale lives, they cannot share who they are or what the world needs from them. It is my passion to help you find your purpose. I want to see you become successful, but more than that to be free! Without vision people perish. Without vision, we seem to be lost, mind numb robots following the herd into the abyss that is everyday life. We do not live intentionally without a vision for our future. We do not live passionately without a vision for our future. We do not live productively without a vision for our future. We certainly cannot lead without a vision for our future and a vision for the future of those we lead. This audio course will inspire and instruct you to create a vision which will become a significant driving force in your life. Author
