LDR 1100 Personal Leadership Manual “What do others need to know to get along with me?”
As of January 2021
The ability to influence the transformation of people, organizations and societies requires a dedicated game plan. Just like the coach of a sports team poised to make the championship run, the warrior-leader is concerned not only about winning the battle, but also bringing the troops home safely, the girl scout den mother who is focused on increasing cookie sales to ensure the team can make the annual summer camp, etc. all must have a game plan for inspiring others to join their game plan for achieving the desired goal. This begins with a vision in mind; yet, the leader must also consider how they will influence others to make the journey with them. This influence is the product of the leader communicating passionately, on daily bases, what he/she believes by virtue of all they say and do.
In order to accomplish a lot of our goals and desires we have to understand how we operate. In a way, we are like the electronics we use every day. When we first open them we have a tendency to start using them without knowing how they operate. When we use the washer, we do not just throw our clothes in the washing machine and hope for the best…this might lead to white shirts becoming an interesting shade of blue/red because we mixed colors and harmed the fabric. Instead we read the owner or Leadership manual.
A personal Leadership manual is a way for people to get to know us. A Leadership manual is a way to get to know ourselves. By understanding ourselves, we convey a compelling leadership message of who we are and the types of things which make us tick.
