CLARITY KICKSTART: April 21, 2014 


“Indeed, the final test of leadership is: Do you leave things better than you found them? … Will people be glad you were there?”

 

~ James Hunter
 
 
Coaching Tip for the Week:

 

Do you have a set of guiding principles by which you live and work?
 
One of my favorite activities with coaching clients is helping them create their Vision, Mission, and Guiding Principles. Once you have these core foundations in place, aligned with your values, you reap oodles of benefits: your actions become more intentional, you make stronger choices, you model alignment and personal leadership for those around you.
 
Guiding Principles are quick, easy-to-remember phrases that essentially define how you will be in the world. For example, one of my Guiding Principles is “Be The Change,” meaning if I don’t like how something currently is, I need to take action. A Guiding Principle from the above quote might be, “Leave It Better Than You Find It.”
 
This week, choose a few Guiding Principles that you want to define how you work and live. Write them down someplace prominent and try them out for a while. See if you soon find yourself feeling much more streamlined, consistent, and strong!
