How Leaders find Happiness…

Another formula for finding happiness in this lifetime…especially for leaders:

Don’t think less of yourself…think of yourself less!”

Whether at work, at home, or thinking of relatives, loved ones, neighbors, or even your pet…focusing on the needs of others takes our minds off ourselves.  Then, through action, happiness finds us.

Action can be in the form of a prayer, note, call, favor, or kind gesture.

So, today, think of someone else…and an action you can take.  Keep it up.  Happiness will find you.

“Today I will make the conscious effort to GET IT RIGHT, rather than to be right.” 

 

In his post, Robert Glazer reminds us of President Abraham Lincoln’s commitment to getting it right, over being right.  When was the last time you had to choose between these two concepts?  As leaders, we have to overcome the urge to be right, and be willing to get uncomfortable with debate and opposing opinions in order to get the full facts…and then make the right decisions.

“Today I will make the conscious effort to GET IT RIGHT, rather than to be right.”

Freedom isn’t Free

 

We often hear the adage, especially from our military servicemen and women, or our First-Responders, “Freedom isn’t Free!”  Here, FDR gives us another angle: “…it must be earned.”  Just like leadership cannot be given away, it must be taken away, freedom and leadership both must be earned.  What have I done today, to earn my freedom and leadership?
