Leadership doesn't always come from sitting on your own, or just being surrounded by the same people, you need to seek out inspiration .
In an age where almost everything it would seem can be found via the phone in your pocket… Have you worked out what is missing???
You can jump online and watch videos on YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, TED etc, that will make you laugh, cry, think, educate, shock and much more. However, it's not the same as being there.
It's like live sport or a concert - yes you can watch it on TV or online, but being there holds a special piece of magic you can't replace. We have an inbuilt need for human interaction in a different environment to give us a fresh perspective.??
If you have any involvement in engaging more people to understand all your business or not-for-profit offers and you are looking for inspiration, here is how…?
Live stories are a gift
Be inspired by what is around you...a short story of a recent example you might relate to...
Last week I sat in the front row of a small inner city theatre watching a production of a musical called "In Pieces". ? I am not going to tell you about the musical itself, because what was even more important was the way it was delivered.? It's an interesting musical because there is no talking at all in it.
In fact, unless you read the program, you would not know the name of the characters.? There was no set - just a small stage and nine people singing their hearts out backed by a band, a first-time director and other assistants.
The passion and energy in which they all played their role is something you equate to those fresh-faced days of innocence when you are ready to take on the world.? It was a pure joy that came through.
It made me want to make sure I was getting back to what I truly love and reigniting that initial spark that led me down this path.
I am proud to say my daughter was one of those on stage, making the audience believe her character and singing like she is ready to star on the West End.? Inspiration from our youth and even our own children can give us back a perspective that is lost.??
We should all have that joy.? Dealing with clients we love.? Engaging the right people effortlessly.? It's the gift I want to give you.
Find your place of inspiration
My challenge to each of you reading this is to find an opportunity where you can go a few times a year to be with your peers and hear stories. I will answer my original question by turning it back on you - are you really looking for inspiration?
There are events big and small going on all the time. Try a few and see if you can find what you need there. Just like going on holidays, recharge those batteries regularly and you will be more creative and deliver better results .

2 年This is a fantastic article, Anthony. Collaborating and engaging with my peers promotes creativity. Each team member has their own set of skills, and each team member learns from the others. I agree that meeting many people is also an excellent opportunity to learn and be inspired.
