I am being reawakened to the powerful truth that the starting place for me to impart and promote values is to live them fully.

Do we really want to change? Now that is a question. I’m supposed to want to change, for sure. In reality, I want to change without the discomfort. Trouble is, change is often uncomfortable.

Cheers

“How do I need to change” is perhaps the most powerful idea. How shows the way, options and path of improvement. The improvement could be anything- for leaders it could be its impact on surroundings, for manipulators, it could be impact on self development. Then comes ” Do I need to change” again is the great question that we need to ask. Do we really to change ourselves, and if answer is yes then why. This is introspective question. Then comes Need which is again very important for survival. Need could be physiological, social or psychological. Answers to these questions provide direction that we need to follow. Then start change that indicates future. And change determines our future based on our answers to questions. So, the question applies to every one but our answer determines our path. Whether we want to serve, be served and self served. And this category decides the leadership path.

Most times, in continuous improvement realms, one does not advocate ‘cut and paste’ approaches, however SERVE is the exception to that rule. I put it up on our board, with appropo credits to Messrs. Blanchard, Miller & Rockwell.

Great post Dan, thanks!

We better be careful. They say humor doesn’t translate well on the Internet.
