Why All This?

leadership mindset Jun 18, 2020

Everything is quite easy to understand—if you boil it down to the essential correlations. It’s usually only the implementation in daily life that is difficult.

If you ask parents what they wish for their children when they’re grown up, the answer is almost always, “Be happy!” That is how it works for each of us. In the end, we just want to be happy.

But what does that mean, exactly? Why do we often find it so difficult, and what does that have to do with you as a business leader?

The answer to these questions not only makes you a better leader but also helps you generate your own happiness.

Answer 1: If reduced to the essential, being happy means that we have peace of mind, which, in turn, comes from living in congruence with our inner drives (which are manifold) and from personal development (mental stagnation is unhappiness).

Answer 2: What stands in the way of our happiness are essentially our fears in various forms (because our inner drives inevitably encounter resistance). If you use your fears as fuel rather than as a barricade, you will have more success and happiness.

Answer 3: As a leader, you can use these connections by creating clarity, pointing out perspectives, taking away or reversing fears, and generating positive change within your team.

Yes, I know, it’s all very simplified, and there are hundreds of nuances to every point. If you would like to learn more, please contact me here for more information about my Leadership Coaching.
