Your weekly inspiration
The DNA of Leadership has received many positive comments from a broad cross-section of readers. One comment seems to be consistent— “How do I keep the various characteristics in front of me all the time?”
The DNA of Leadership is designed to serve as a checklist to be reviewed periodically to help each of us stay on course. As an additional help we have started VECTOR CORRECTOR. It is a 60 second read sent by E-mail each week.
Past Vector Correctors
Vector Corrector 2012-6
We are well into the new year. Some say these are the dark ages. I would say it is the time to be courageous and shine. Three points apply:
- When we face a mountain of work—-BE ENERGIZED AND COURAGEOUS
- When we face a mountain of challenges—-BE ENCOURAGED AND COURAGEOUS
- When we face a mountain disapproval—-BE ETHICAL AND COURAGEOUS
Get the idea, courage counts.

We should never make the same mistake twice because the second time we do so, it is not a mistake, it is a choice. If we keep making the same mistakes and expect different results, shame on us. Maybe we are slow learners.

“When dealing with people, remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudice and motivated by pride and vanity.” Dale Carnegie, Psychology Today. That is why I believe “Leadership is ALL About People.” Because if it were not for people, leadership would be easy. Sounds simple enough, but many fail the test when the “people side” is neglected. Let’s strive to put others before self.

Consequences!!! For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Remember that from school? The same is true in life as our actions do have consequences, either for good or for bad. We must be alert that we will be held accountable for the words, actions and influences emitting from us daily. So who holds us accountable? Family, bosses, the public, media, the community and ultimately God. Reminds me there are no free lunches.

The leader who cares more about CHARACTER than convenience, comfort or cash is on the right tract. The bottom line is gauged by the influence we have on those around us at home and in the market place. We will be judged by the legacy we leave behind.
Vector Corrector 2012-1
This is the first Vector Corrector of 2012. Before we settle in and take off in the New Year, planning is essential. Pilots visit the planning room to check available and trustworthy resources to plot their journey. Weather, winds and destination conditions are considered. To ensure your safety and anyone with you, do plan. This year, don’t take off without considering the variables.
