How to face 2017 as a good and perfect leader !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You cannot lead while jousting with the past.
The direction of your leadership begins with the direction of your thoughts. Remarkable leadership is forward-facing and future-focused.

Many of the conversations I have about the future end up focused on the past. People say they want to discuss their future. Typically, they’re fighting with history.
Fighting history fills one with doubt and fear. It takes courage and faith to pivot forward and create a future.
Successful leaders know that we all live the future now.

Imagination:

Thoughts are bricks. Everything you see began in someone’s imagination.
Ignite the imagination of your team. Discuss and adopt a shared picture of the future you aspire to build together.
Questions:
  1. How do we aspire to treat each other?
  2. If our efforts succeed, what will we have built? Get specific. How might you live the future today?
  3. What does it mean for your team to pivot toward the future right now? Adopt this approach while dealing with complaints.
  4. How does the way you are thinking about yourself and others reflect the future you aspire to build? 
Aspiration matters most when it’s least convenient.
Don’t say, “When things settle down we’ll think about aspirations.” That’s fear and doubt talking. Shared vision gives meaning to the mundane.

Actions:

  1. How will today’s actions be a small expression of the future you aspire to build for yourself and others?
  2. What are you doing that’s an expression of aspiration?
  3. If you keep doing what you’re doing, where will you end up?

Project:

List three behaviors of great teams. How might you bring one of those behaviors to life today? It’s great to dream about emerald city, but only leaders start building it.
The only value of an aspiration is the action it inspires.
What leadership qualities or behaviors are most relevant during New Years?

THE BITCOIN BTC

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and a payment system [14] :3 invented by an unidentified programmer, or group of programmers, under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto . [15] Bitcoin was introduced on 31 October 2008 to a cryptography mailing list, [16] and released as open-source software in 2009. [17] There have been various claims and speculation concerning the identity of Nakamoto, none of which are confirmed. [15] The system is peer-to-peer and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary. [14] :4 These transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed ledger called the blockchain , [18] which uses bitcoin as its unit of account . Since the system works without a central repository or single administrator, the U.S. Treasury categorizes bitcoin as a decentralized virtual currency . [11] Bitcoin is often called the first cryptocurrency, [19] [20] [21] although prior systems existed [note 4] and it is more correctly descr...

HOW TO STUMBLE FORWARD WITH BOLDNESS AND FIND SUCCESS

An infant watches others walk and learns that walking is possible. But success calls you to turn possibility into reality by stumbling forward. Others may have stepped out already, but it’s still the unknown for everyone who hasn’t done it before. It feels like letting go and stumbling forward. Stumbling forward: Some live life according to plan. In some ways I admire them. But I wonder how you can even imagine the possibilities until you’ve climbed the hill in front of you and spied new terrain? Writing Leadership Freak began with stumbling. I had no idea what the heck I was doing. I’d never written anything beyond papers in school. Now I serve leaders all over the world. Stumbling forward changed my life. An opportunity to stumble forward: A college student approached me with an offer to start a Leadership Freak podcast. I’m stumbling forward with him. He doesn’t know it, but he’s suggesting things I’ve rejected in the past. I don’t write about current events, for example. He thinks ...
