Workshop:

Jump Out of Your Boat

On

Leadership

The Leadership Boat Components:

The hull is what we know, our education, our experience, our training.  Yet without the other components it goes nowhere.

The power is our skill set.  Skills are different than knowledge as they are action based.  Things we can do well, work habits we have formed, integrity we have created in the minds of others.  Still the boat only moves in a strait line with no choice of direction without control.

 

The steering is our attitude, mindset, beliefs, and values.  This mental package is often what determines a persons success.  Often if we have two individuals with equal knowledge and skill sets, it is the one with the most optimistic, collaborative, mindset that will be more successful.
