{Exceptional|Remarkable|Extraordinary} {Leadership|Management} {Inspires|Influences|Motivates} {the Best|the very best} Effort in Others

There is {a steady|a stable|a consistent|a constant} stream being {written|composed} and taught about {leadership|management} {these days|nowadays}. There are {tips|suggestions|ideas|pointers} about {leadership|management}, courses about {leadership|management}, books, retreats, and continuing education– all {focused on|concentrated on} {leadership|management}. While all of this {material|product} {is useful|works} and can {certainly|definitely} {enhance|improve|boost} one’s {leadership|management} {knowledge|understanding}, for the {most|many|a lot of} part it {avoids|prevents} {asking and {answering|responding to|addressing}|{answering|responding to|addressing} and asking} {two|2} {questions|concerns}:

Why does {better|much better} {leadership|management} make {a difference|a distinction}?, and
How does {better|much better} {leadership|management} {achieve|accomplish|attain} those {differences|distinctions}?
{We all|All of us} {know|understand} we’re “{supposed|expected}” to work to be {better|much better} leaders, {but|however} why does it matter, what {impact|effect} does it have, and how does this all work?
{Whenever I ask the “Why” {question|concern}, the {answers|responses} that {come to|concern|pertain to} the mind of {most people|many people|the majority of people} are something like “{better|much better} {leadership|management} {creates|produces|develops} more {productivity|efficiency|performance}, {higher|greater} {profits|revenues|earnings}, lower turnover, {greater|higher} {job|task} {satisfaction|complete satisfaction|fulfillment}, more {loyalty|commitment} … you {get the picture|understand}. {{But|However} these {responses|reactions|actions} bring us to the {real|genuine} {question|concern} which is, “How does {better|much better} {leadership|management} {create|produce|develop} those things?|These {responses|reactions|actions} bring us to the {real|genuine} {question|concern} which is, “How does {better|much better} {leadership|management} {create|produce|develop} those things?} How does being {a better|a much better} leader {lead to|result in|cause} more {productivity|efficiency|performance}, {higher|greater} {profits|revenues|earnings}, lower turnover, {greater|higher} {job|task} {satisfaction|complete satisfaction|fulfillment}, more {loyalty|commitment}?” It is the {answers|responses} to these {two|2} {questions|concerns} which {elevate|raise} us from {simply|just|merely} {learning|discovering|finding out} and {understanding|comprehending} {better|much better} {leadership|management} {principles|concepts} to pursuing {a course of action|a strategy} which {transforms|changes} us and our {leadership|management} {abilities|capabilities} into something that {really|truly|actually} makes {a difference|a distinction}.|Whenever I ask the “Why” {question|concern}, the {answers|responses} that come to the mind of {most|many|a lot of|the majority of} {people|individuals} are something like “{better|much better} {leadership|management} {creates|produces|develops} more {productivity|efficiency|performance}, {higher|greater} {profits|revenues|earnings}, lower turnover, {greater|higher} {job|task} {satisfaction|complete satisfaction|fulfillment}, more {loyalty|commitment} … you get the {picture|photo|image}.

{I {often|frequently|typically} {suggest|recommend} that my {clients|customers} {use|utilize} their own experience as their {best|finest} example. Ask yourself when, {during|throughout} your {career|profession}, you felt the most {satisfied|pleased}, {most|many|a lot of|the majority of} {productive|efficient}, proudest, most focused, and {most|many|a lot of|the majority of} {committed|dedicated|devoted}. When we {reflect|show} back on those times, {most of|the majority of} us would acknowledge that we didn’t {feel like|seem like} we did {because|since|due to the fact that} our “leader” {had|had actually} made {a good|a great|an excellent} {decision|choice}, or that they {had|had actually} gone through “{leadership|management} training” (That term {is in|remains in} quotes {because|since|due to the fact that} leaders {need|require} to be {developed|established}, not trained.), or that their leaders were {efficient|effective}, {met|satisfied|fulfilled} their {goals|objectives}, or had success in the past. No, {typically|generally|usually|normally} we felt the {way|method} we did ({satisfied|pleased}, {productive|efficient}, {proud|happy}, focused, and {committed|dedicated|devoted}) {because|since|due to the fact that} of what we did– what we {accomplished|achieved}. {It all|Everything|All of it} {comes back|returns} to us and how we felt.

{{Imagine|Picture|Think of|Envision} if {everyone|everybody} at work felt {satisfied|pleased}, {productive|efficient}, {proud|happy}, focused, and {committed|dedicated|devoted}!

How is this {accomplished|achieved}?

* EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHIES

Leading by Example – Whether we acknowledge it or not, we {always|constantly} lead by example. In our words (what we {say|state} or {don’t|do not} {say|state}), in our actions (what we do or {don’t|do not} do), and in our expressions (what we {show|reveal} or {don’t|do not} {show|reveal}). {The things|The important things} we {do and {say|state}|{say|state} and do}, {during|throughout} {moments|minutes} of “{apparent|obvious|evident} insignificance”, make an impression on those around us.

{Servant Leader Philosophies – In our {leadership|management} workshops, I’ll ask {participants|individuals} who the most {important|essential|crucial} {person|individual} is to {a company|a business}. The {answer|response}, {of course|obviously|naturally}, is the {customer|client|consumer}. The {question|concern} that follows next is, “Who is the most {important|essential|crucial} {person|individual} in the {company|business} to that {customer|client|consumer}?”

{Most people|Many people|The majority of people} get that the {person|individual} {most important|essential|crucial} to the {customer|client|consumer} is the one they {come in|are available in|can be found in} contact with – the “frontline”. The {question|concern} that follows is the {real|genuine} {key|secret} to {a better|a much better} understanding of servant {leadership|management}. This {question|concern} is, “What, then, is the {job|task} of the {manager|supervisor} of those frontline {people|individuals}?” The {job|task} of the {managers|supervisors} of the frontline folks is to make their {job|task} as {easy|simple} and as {effective|efficient|reliable} as possible so that the {customer|client|consumer} has {the best|the very best} experience possible! {If this {leadership|management} {philosophy|viewpoint|approach} is {adopted|embraced} throughout {an organization|a company}, it {ends up|winds up} with an organizational chart that {looks like|appears like} an inverted pyramid.|It ends up with an organizational chart that looks like an inverted pyramid if this {leadership|management} {philosophy|viewpoint|approach} is {adopted|embraced} throughout {an organization|a company}.} It is {an organization|a company} that acknowledges the {importance|significance|value} of the frontline and {reflects|shows} the {philosophy|viewpoint|approach} of service throughout.|Servant Leader Philosophies – In our {leadership|management} workshops, I’ll ask {participants|individuals} who the most {important|essential|crucial} {person|individual} is to {a company|a business}.

* EFFECTIVE PURPOSE, MISSION AND VALUES

{An organization|A company} which {inspires|influences|motivates} {the best|the very best} effort in its {people|individuals} will {attract|draw in|bring in} the {kind of|type of|sort of} {employees|workers|staff members} it {{wants|desires} and {needs|requires}|{needs|requires} and {wants|desires}}, and will {retain|keep|maintain} them. It has a Purpose, a Mission, and a set of Values that it lives by, it {effectively|efficiently|successfully} {communicates|interacts} them, and it {measures|determines} its actions and {decisions|choices} {against|versus} them.
{Purpose|Function} is the “WHY” of the {equation|formula}. It {defines|specifies} why we do what we do. Each {decision|choice} and policy {should|ought to|must|need to} take the {company|business}

There are {tips|suggestions|ideas|pointers} about {leadership|management}, courses about {leadership|management}, books, retreats, and continuing education– all focused on {leadership|management}.

Why Four Lenses?

The Four Lenses is a proven personality temperament model that acts as a universal companion to any training or initiative. This foundational training helps individuals and organizations establish a common language and value system for diverse perspectives and unique talent in the workplace, in the classroom, or simply in life.

The four temperaments trace back to the Greek physician Hippocrates (460–370 BC) who discovered that each person has a unique personality spectrum or lens that reveals how individuals naturally see the world. Because our paradigms are so influential, we often struggle communicating with those who have a different perspective. By failing to truly understand those around us, surely, we are missing one of the greatest opportunities life has to offer.

The Four Lenses training will forever change the way you see the world. Participants discover unique aspects about themselves and everyone around them. After completing a personality temperament assessment, participants begin learning through online training modules, books, and participating in the online community.  Participants learn to interact with others in a powerful new way.

The Four Lenses training helps participants learn how to:

• Motivate reluctant people

• Communicate with power

• Strengthen leadership abilities

• Reduce stress and conflict

• Parent complicated children

• Teach difficult learners

• Create sensational relationships
