Tenacity in the Balance
4 Ways to Make Reflection More Powerful
March 3, 2014Where Do You Stand on the Feedback Staircase?
March 17, 2014Many great plans, dreamed up and designed in the heat of creative passion, end up discarded for lack of leadership Tenacity. As a tenacious leader, you not only have to set expectations and inspire the plan with a firmness of purpose, you have to follow through on execution to the very end with fierce determination.
Of course, like all Six Attraction Powers, Tenacity must be applied carefully in a balanced approach.
Tenacity will serve you, your team, and your organization best when you are firm and resolute, but not stubborn or apathetic.
| An apathetic leader • Displays low motivation • Remains uncompetitive in competitive situations • Lacks urgency with regard to crucial challenges • Is complacent regarding the delivery and quality of work |
The Tenacious Leader • Clearly demonstrates firmness of purpose • Works and leads with determination and drive • Assigns appropriate urgency to crucial undertakings • Demands the timely completion of quality work |
A stubborn leader • Makes irrational demands • Refuses to correct errors or misdirection • Responds to disappointment with emotional outbursts • Resorts to physical threats when cornered |
To practice balancing your use of Tenacity, I invite you to join other leaders in our next, open-enrollment Leadership Attraction Powers Workshop. In the meantime, feel free to discuss Tenacity with me at info@align4profit.com or 972-608-0400.
