Can you imagine being a fox in a pack of hounds?
As a leader your answer is probably, “No.”
But occasionally a leader loses his way and it happens.
Let me remind you that you are not meant to “Blend In.” You are to be a difference maker.
If today finds you running in the wrong pack, I suggest you do some “RE” work.
First – Remember. Embrace your role as a leader and remember why you wanted to be one in the first place. I’m guessing (if you are an i2i leader) you wanted to make a difference in the lives of others. Difference makers don’t blend in.
Second – Resist. The temptation is to allow others to shape your thinking and thus your actions. Resist the lure and don’t be afraid to make hard decisions and lead. Life is not a popularity contest unless you are in Junior High, which I’m assuming most of you are not.
Third – Refuse. The status quo used to bother you. I’m guessing it bothered you a lot. If you find yourself coasting, now is the time to take inventory and refuse to allow mediocrity anywhere near your life and leadership.
Fourth – Reengage. If you are running in the wrong pack most likely you have disengaged at some point. There is no better day than today to reconnect to your purpose and make a fresh commitment to lead the pack.
Remember, Resist, Refuse, and Reengage.
Master those four and you will stay ahead of the hounds.
i2i,
Randy
