It is a known fact that when people are engaged positively with their leader they are more likely to be engaged in their work. Enlightened leaders succeed where other leaders fail because they perform at a higher level, are more productive, and achieve greater results using their skill of Positive Presence.
The success and effectiveness of enlightened leaders is driven by their ability to make the connection between their behaviour style and their human energy. This connection leads to positive behaviour competencies that enable them to become positive role models for followers, guide operational improvements, execute on strategy consistently, and sustain performance excellence.
Enlightened leaders recognize the importance of self-awareness and effective collaborative relationships. They spend time developing connections with the people they lead to drive performance. They focus their time around their ability to create a positive and energized mindset for “getting it right as a leader” both with the technical elements of performance and with people too. Enlightened leaders apply a strategic approach to quality Cognitive Behaviour Development which includes:
1. Develop attentiveness
2. Develop alertness
3. Develop appreciation
4. Develop thoughtfulness
5. Develop a learner’s attitude 6. Develop leadership with humility
When you have a meaningful relationship with another person you work more effectively together. You have a common goal and a consistent purpose. You come together for mutual, beneficial, meaningful purpose. Your efforts are channeled toward the same common outcome and you drive performance in the organization to peak levels.
